Video clips at UstreamThe Wedding starts at 2pm GMT on Saturday 3rd of July.
Hopefully we’ll be able to sort out an internet connection for the church. With any luck you should be able to watch the wedding here live. (press the little icon in the bottom right corner of the video window to go full screen)
Update: I’ll be testing the set up throughout the week so there might be a few clips of random things to watch before the big day.
Well the big trip of 2010 is upon us. Its time to head home, get married, see our friends and family, watch the world cup and reintroduce ourselves to booze.
We haven’t updated the web site for ages, I know. We’ve still been updating our fickr page, mainly from our iPhones, but I’m planning to Tweet, Audioboo, update Flickr and post here as much as possible while we are away on our 5 week long trip.
We’ll be putting the wedding photos up on Flickr too so stay tuned for them, there will be a lot of activity on our Flickr page over the next 5 weeks or so.
So we leave tonight, just a bit of a last minute drama with letters from priests that we didn’t know we needed.
If we can get wi-fi during the trip at the airports I’ll be tweeting our progress.
Ok, off to finish packing my bag.
I got a call from a police detective about 5 months ago asking me about the time I worked at a chocolate factory in Sydney.
The factory had burnt down, for the second time, so they were investigating the questionable reasons behind the fire. The detective asked me if I worked there at the time of the fire. Fortunately I hadn’t as we’d already moved up to Queensland by then.
And that was that, but I was just wondering today and thought I’d Google the story to see if anything might have appeared in the news recently. So I stumbled upon this video. Thought I’d stick it up here for the curious.
We’ve had our friends Robbie and Kylee staying with us for the last three week.
They’ve left now and flown back down to Sydney for some more adventures. It was fun having them stay and the girls really loved having some other people around.
Here’s a little story from the last three weeks.
I’ve been a bit rubbish with the updates recently, but we’ve been very busy having a good time, sorry.
We had two very busy weeks with visitors, Michelle, Gary Tadgh and Caoilinn came to stay for a week followed by David and Laura the week after. You’ll find all the photos on our flickr page as usual.
It was Val’s birthday last Friday and I surprised her with a weekend away in Byron Bay. We stayed at a place called the Byron Bay Rainforest Resort. We had a great time Check out the flickr pictures of that too. Probably lots more I could tell you here but it’s Friday and and I’m about to leave work and go home to all my girls. ‘All my girls’ ha ha, who’d have thought.
Couple of other quick things. You may have seen the odd photo pop up on the flickr site at odd times, these are sent directly from my iPhone, if you were wondering. I’ve also been Twittering a lot more resently, so if your thinking of trying Twitter out (I highly recommend you do) you can find me at www.twitter.com/simonpither
Now, its the weekend, what shall we do?
My amazingly talented Aunty Lynn sent us this beautiful painting for Christmas.
It’s a picture of Ella and me entitled “Paddling With Daddy”
I thought I’d show it off here. It is now proudly hanging on our living room wall. You can see a few more of her paintings here including the full size picture version of Paddling With Daddy.
Thanks again Lynn, it was the best present ever.
