temve and shrieking_ell's wedding was the BEST WEDDING EVER and they really are a ridiculously adorable pair. Thank you both for such a wonderful evening, I enjoyed myself so much that I may have even committed dancing (dancing! I never dance!). I also had a lovely time getting to know lea_ndra, raina_at and spes_unica who before Saturday I've only ever known as names on other people's LJs and were really awesome people. franzi1981, I am so embarrassed that my introduction consisted of me blurting out hello and then stumbling away.

- Goats! I love goats and I GOT TO PET GOATS. What lovely animals they are with their adorable beards, little butty horns and precious bleating noises. WHERE ARE MY GOATSgoblin_dae, I WANT MY GOATS, AAAAALLLLL THE GOATS.
- The wife reminded me just why I tolerate him and baked a huge chocolate cake for me to return to. ♥ ♥ ♥
