As we are off to Finland later today, I thought I'd give you an update on the party marathon of the last days. In the past week or so: the arrival of my mum and sister, my birthday including surprise party, the prep-party for Sarah, the wedding, the garden hog-roast party the day after the wedding, Jan-Willems goodbye outing.... Here is a visual, non-chronological representation of the madness.

Hmmmm... I just realised most of these pictures are of two people looking into the camera. Apparently, that is the type of picture I choose when hurried. Another thing I learned about myself today. I also learned I start to pluck my eyebrows sulkily in stead of doing anything useful when I get overwhelmed by to-do-lists.

JW and Marty wearing Dave and Caroline's glasses.

I wonder what her hand is doing under the table.

Mr and Mrs Brophy.

Nina and James.

Schwester und myself at the afterparty.

At the 3D cinema, watching scary fish attacking us in Deep Sea.

JW and Dave and their Sexy Serious Boy Band look.

Dancing to 80's trash in Reflex.

Dave wearing a fascinator. Fascinating.

The lay-dees all dressed up.

Monkey girls Nina and Eleonor.

Rietje enjoying herself. Dave looking worried. Or was it his strawberry?

Rob, Dave, Gareth. Kind of a reverse perspective picture: they get longer in the distance.

I think I might need a holiday now. On the menu: lots of books, scrabble, sleeping, music, sauna. And trying not to fight with S.
