Felicitations !
Today is Alistair's 22nd birthday and like the awful parents that we are we are thousands of miles away in France and not where we should be, celebrating with him at home.
He was pretty chuffed though when we rang him to sing Happy Birthday, en famile. It was midnight here, so a decent 8:00am in Australia, and while he was gracious, he was pretty keen to get back to sleep.
Hopefully by now he has found his gift - three huge boxes hidden in my wardrobe and under our bed containing his new keyboards, thanks to Lesley for the loan of Sarah's keyboard which has re-kindled his interest in music.
Today is the wedding day in France - the reason for our trip. The weather is a pleasant 20 degrees, which while not hot means that at least I will not freeze in my dress. What a waste it was fake tanning the legs before leaving Australia. I wanted to make sure my lily white legs did not scare the locals when we landed in the northern hemisphere, but no need to have worried, I am yet to get out of jeans. Today will be the first day my legs have seen the light of day, and by now the fake tan has all faded so they are going to be white anyway.
Look out for the wedding post - as we have been instructed to attend wearing moustaches expect some interesting photos.
