This is something I did not expect to post: half an hour ago, Big C and I agreed (incredibly last minute) that we would attend the wedding of his friend's son. It's a Sikh wedding (I've never been to a Sikh wedding!) and it's nearly three hundred miles away. We'll be leaving in five hours, and it's half eleven at night now.
So, things here are pretty frantic. I have very few clothes and almost none of them are formal, so what to wear should be very interesting... I know to take something to cover my head with, but other than that....! I'm looking things up online now and trying to get some tips.
Needless to say, my Count of Monte Cristo readathon is paused! I got to about 500 pages in, well on track to getting to the half way point before I went to sleep, and yes, I love it. But it will have to wait for me until Monday.
And, as you can imagine, I need to get prepared and also get to sleep, so I will end this here. So excited! I'm so looking forward to the wedding, and also Big C and I love road trips together.
Catch you all on Monday, hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend :)
I will wait patiently to hearing what you think about it, and am very glad to know that you like it through half of it.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard about any Sikh wedding. Is it like how they marry in India, like in Bollywood films?
Um, OK! A spur of the moment 300 mile road trip sounds so fun and romantic (not lovey dovey romantic). Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWow, speaking of drastic changes! Have a good trip and a lovely time at the wedding! the Count of Monte Cristo will be patiently waiting for you at home. And er, 500 pages? You've already tackled that many? Isn't that at least a moderately (!) successful readathon?
ReplyDelete500 pages is very impressive! I hope you enjoy it - it's a book I'd really love to re-read soon.
