Better update... My father's uncle died, so we have to go to Germany and since the funeral is on Friday we have to leave tomorrow. We'll be back by Sunday though.
Gonna miss Physics and Bio on Friday, but seeing as it's only revision I won't actually miss anything as such.
I'll be taking the Mac, but I don't know what my Father's Cousin's Internet connection is like, so we'll have to see and I won't be able to be on that much anyway; it would be kind of rude...

Put a card in the Christmas card for both of you; you both get your own letter. Lucky you, eh?

Bought Shrek 3. I'm in a silly mood as you'll see from the letters.

Might go to England sometime in January. Any requests? I'm already going to be on the search for a postcard of Donny for D. Want anything? Sparkly pens? Cheap DVDs? CDs? Stationary? Books? Chocolate? Anything?
Since we're on the England topic: when will we be seeing you? Will you come in June or only after the house business is finished? Any plans yet? I finish in May, but have exams in June. Don't know timetable yet, so it could be good like all the exams at the beginning or bad such as all the exams at the end.

May do another update tomorrow.

Whoa haven't updated for AGES!! What to say though? Hmmmm... Guess I'll tell you about the Silver Wedding party then:

It took place in the Château de Coppet and 93 people attended. Some were from church others were from IATA or CERN. I was on a table with Nathalie (right), Marisa (left, my father's cousin's daughter)















 and Fabian 















(Marisa's brother), Christian and Patrizia
















(she's my father's cousin's daughter or something) and Steve and Nicky Hancock, who are completely unrelated! I introduced them to Peter (your and my mother's cousin; at the very right) and Ruth (2nd from the left).
















 I love annoying Peter!!! It's so much fun!
We had 5 courses, but they were tiny... For starters there was a Lobster salad, then a (dunno the name but it resembled pumpkin) soup, later lamb and to finish different ways of preparing mango on one plate. Didn't take any photos unfortunately... As the grand finale the wedding cake was served,

















with sparklers! Then there was the symbolic cake cutting















as it had already been cut by the waiters... This is the only picture of the cut up cake:















Now this is for you Lucie, because I know you love masks so much:
















these are the 2 singers dressed up as Venetian singers. They entertained us whilst the main course was being prepared.
Here's your mother belly dancing: later Jamila


















(spelling?) Bernd's current girlfriend joined.
















Here's my mother's family: well, minus your father.
















Ah, here he is!
