Saturday sort out

We're spending today sorting out lots of bits n bobs - visited the registrar this morning to apply for an "authorisation of marriage", and booked an appointment with the florist for January - plan ahead! Tim has also sorted out a joint bank account for us, so we've got new debit cards and cheque books. There's no money in the account yet, but it's exciting nonetheless :-)

We met up with Nick and Helen for dinner last night - Nick is an old friend of mine from school. We've stayed in touch all through uni and beyond and used to meet up in the holidays, but we hadn't seen each other since his wedding earlier on this year. It was good to catch up - Helen and I spent most of the evening discussing weddings, unsurprisingly! We ate at belgo's ( http://www.belgo-restaurants.com), a sort of Belgian-themed restaurant which specialises in mussels and has a HUGE beer list. We worked our way through lots of different beers, with the help of the head waiter who kept suggesting new ones to try. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting London!

Sad news for Ian... someone has written his travel book!

I shall be adding it to my wish list... sorry, Ian!
