Unfortunate down-time

Earlier today, Edith was quite innocently using our network to connect from her PC to the server PC to put on some music. Suddenly, both her PC and the server went rather strange, freezing up for around half a second every three seconds or so. The activity lights on both machines’ network ports showed enormous activity, but the system showed no data at all leaving or entering either computer. The internet and network were not accessible from either machine. Reboots, […]

Coming soon

Coming up shortly on dlog, in as many parts as it takes, Edith will be publishing a seriously epic write-up of the big day itself in as much detail as she can remember. In the mean time, there are lots of new photos, pages, and other stuff, including the chance to look at and order prints of all the day’s official photographs, on the main zoolyweds site.

Back

We are back at home after our honeymoon in Paris, which was very nice. We are now wading through lots of lovely cards and presents and lots of not-so-lovely pre-wedding mess, and suitcases of zoolyweds items that need sorting out and somehow preserving. At some point, perhaps we will actually get around to writing about the wedding day and perhaps the holiday too. Not sure when that will be though…

Success!

We got married! Our guests had fun! We had fun too! We’re now so tired it hurts, and we have to be up at 7.30 ready to go to Paris! Goodnight!

I zoo

3 September? Today? Now? Ooh. So this is really it – the day that has been in preparation for a good two-and-a-half years is today, and it still doesn’t quite seem real. Did we really go for a lovely meal with our friends last night in Leicester Square, or is it a false memory brought on through long-term planning and visualising? Well, if it did really happen, we had a great evening, and were only sorry that we had to […]

Here we go then…

When you spend so long planning and thinking about something, it doesn’t quite seem real, but in a short while we’re off to London Zoo to drop off nibbles, drinks and exciting secret items for the big day tomorrow. Tomorrow! It can’t be tomorrow, can it? Extraordinary. In the past few days, we’ve finally admitted defeat on the pencil sharpener front, so to anyone sitting on the top table, the sharpener there was meant to be different from all the […]

Sunny delight

When we have put so much effort into attending to every last detail of our wedding, what could possibly go wrong? The weather, of course. Neither of us likes the heat, but for obvious two-hour-walk-around-the-zoo-related reasons we most certainly do not want it to rain on Saturday. Ideally, it would be a bright, sunny day (for good photos and an enjoyable walk), but not as hot as it’s being at the moment. Well, if the BBC weather forecast is to […]

The sharp end

With so few days to go, I am delighted to say that we are actually feeling on top of things at last now! My speech is ready at last, and even most of the music is sorted out now, and all in all it’s all feeling a bit more like we’re ready than it was a few days ago. Saturday saw perhaps the most bizarre excursion of the preparations, though. For reasons that will become clear at the reception, we […]

Done and to come

It has been another busy week chez zoolyweds, and one at the end of which we find lots of progress has been made, but we’re also considerably poorer than we were at its start! A lot of the work this week has been of a musical nature. We’ve come a long way towards arranging all the tracks for both the coach and the reception, and indeed last night the tape for the trip up to the zoo was actually recorded. […]

Too busy to post

Somewhat ironically, after so many months in which we have rarely posted to our dlog due to a bit of a lack of things to tell our readers about, we now find ourselves with so much going on that there is plenty of news, but no time left in which to type it all up! I’ve somehow found a small piece of time (is that a bit like a pocketwatch?) in which to recount the events of the past few […]
