Holiday Hold-up

There isn't really much I can say about this, I is all a bit tragic. Christmas day (I don't celebrate it but my family does) turned into a bit of a disaster zone really.

After picking up my mother and sister from Coventry for Christmas dinner which myself and Cai were cooking, We decided to do the courteous thing and drop them home afterwards. In all that was a fair gesture, having almost arrived in Coventry at about 7:15, good timing until everyone came to a standstill. Sadly we were seven cars down from a serious accident. Waiting patiently we witnessed two fire engines, four police cars, three large emergency ambulances, two smaller paramedic ambulances and two highway maintenance vehicles speed past on the hard shoulder. this scene wasn't cleared away until 9:20.

however apparently it was not a lucky day for us. As we drove past the scene of the crash a bit of debris chipped up and clipped the rear window. Upon arriving at the nearby services to fill up on fuel the window sadly smashed. This meant another long wait. My mother and sister went home via my sibling's boyfriend who picked them up, leaving myself and my partner waiting for the AA. They did not arrive until 12am due to another accident.  At long last we got home safe and sound.

Save for that we had a good Christmas actually. I am finally recovering from illness and looking a lot better.

Thankfully there were apparently no fatalities in that crash though there were others earlier that day and Christmas-eve with more morose endings, one involving horses as I found out :( . Tragic really. I really hope everyone drives safely for the rest of the holiday period.

Tidings new and old

Not much going on here, Uni is dull at the moment but one just carries on.
It's like a hazy sleep has taken hold of the world and everything is dumbed and veiled. Anyway... I'm not sure why I am writing this, I guess its to vent and for something to do.

Loads of things has happened on the sewing and creative front, new clothing, corsets, hair and other little bits and pieces. the house still isn't fully decorated but we are waiting for unavoidable things to happen before we continue that.

Burlesque has been going well, I am now running another night which hopefully will become a regular occurrence. things are good. And I got told off by a photographer for considering giving up modelling... something which I have been doing for 7 years now (Blimey that's a long time) so I guess I will be getting back into that to now.

On a completely different note, my little sister is engaged, I find this rather odd and disturbing. Here is why;

She broke up with her boyfriend of 7 months Saturday just gone - the reasons were many. Then, refusing to speak to him began ignoring his calls. We find out a few days ago that he had phoned her up early in the morning and proposed... oh how romantic :/ .... *insert sarcasm here*.

Don't get me wrong, as long as she's happy. What I do find odd is that they had broken up and then she said yes to his proposal, also he could of waited until he next saw her rather than over the phone. Anyway it's done now... maybe I'm just too much of a romantic at heart. .... At least she doesn't want me to make her wedding dress.

Back to the brighter side of things, my partner and I celebrated our anniversary at WGW (he had never been before) The bands were amazing as always and I got to see one of the bands I had listened to from a very early age. So chuffed with that. It was good to be back at WGW again. Looking forward...

 and above is a photo from WGW

WGW

Wow, okay its been a few years since I have been and now I am Taking my other half for out anniversary ^^... the official Date is October 31st but he has never been to WGW so I thought it would be nice to spend the time there for a week. I have tickets booked to see the bands and oh yes we intend to hit the club nights there as well as the pubs, a few older attractions etc. I think we are looking forward to a few days of wondering around the nice scenery to be honest with you.

Packing finishes today and I have an exam tomorrow before we go... eeekk a long day of travelling and on Samhain to :( but I'm sure the rest of the week will make up for it. I can't wait to see all my old friends, some of which I have not seen for a good few years. The good part is its all the music I grew up with and aren't played all that often anymore so double win here.

I will post up some pictures when we get home but I'm looking forward to a nice time away with my sexy man.
