Stephen went to order flowers for his mum for mother's day and came back with these for me - our wedding flowers. He insists it counts as a romantic, present for no reason surprise - I maintain that the day after my birthday, it's just a late present ;)

Mmm, tasty birthday cake.

Got a present of Downton Abbey today - very excited to start watching it.

This is the booklet you get when organising a civil ceremony in Belfast. Confirmed today they are indeed expecting us and there's no much more for us to do on the paperwork side.

I got all these shoes heeled today - not only is it like having a whole new shoe wardrobe, but I'm taller and falling off my shoes less. Need to get better at bringing shoes in as soon as they need it!

Supermoon! So bright it was getting in Stephen's eyes in bed like the sun does in summer.

78/365

All Things Irish - Beating England matters more than anything else!

77/365

Invitations written (some twice...) and ready to post. Funny how it feels like a Thing even though everyone's already booked!

These are the monstrosities erected on Royal Avenue over the past few months. I don't think they're art, I think a giant metal scorpian from some alien race is one day going to emerge from the ground and kill us all.

75/365

Z is for Zzzzz.

74/365

Y is for Yikes That's A Lot Of Fog. Think this is the most I've seen since I moved here, the camera sees through it a hell of a lot better than I could!

73/365

X is for Xtremely Xcited about dessert tonight. Drool.

72/365

W is for West Wing. We've decided to start this again from scratch when we're finished Big Bang Theory, and I can't wait.

71/365

V is for Vine, Fruit Of The. On the way back from Fiona's in the lashing rain on Friday night, we had no white at home, desperate times called for desperate measures and I called into the hotel. Dangerous precedent set I think!

70/365

U is for Unclean...

69/365

T is for Tsunami. Like most people, we've spent the last couple of days glued to the horrific footage from Japan.

68/365

S is for Stephen!

67/365

R is for Rugby. Causing a lot of pain this year.

66/365

Q is for Quick Dinners. I love tasty dinners that can be made in no time, especially lazy Marks stuff on a Sunday.

65/365

P is for Popcorn. Not for the first time, I forgot to take a picture of it, since I was distracted by the yumminess. So here's a picture of the receipt instead!

64/365

O is for Oh Dear God How Am I Going To Get Through This. CT5 seems unbeatable at the minute, and not sure I have the motivation to change that.

63/365

N is for Nothing On TV. So I finished my book.

62/365

M is for Mmmmm. Tried this pesto for the first time, it's nommy!

61/365

L is for Lampshade. I've been here over 3 years, and Stephen for over 4 years, and we've only just bought lampshades.

60/365

K is for Karen - one of my oldest and closest friends, who's away travelling at the minute. Keeping up to date on her adventures via her blog, I love it.

59/60

J is for Jammies - the best item of clothing.

58/365

I is for Invitation. We ordered two samples, which arrived today. Not mad on either of them I have to say, but it looks like we'll go with the darker one.

57/365

H is for Handbag. I tend to live out of the one handbag all the time. I've had this one ages and it was lovely when I got it, but it's a bit wrecked now. Time for a new one I think - hint Stephen, hint!

56/365

G is for Gift - bridesmaids and groomswoman presents sorted in one easy trip to Dun Laoghaire!
