Two Weddings, a Whole Lotta Laughing and a Birthday!

So I have a lot to tell you, September was busy.

I was privileged (I think that's the right word), to be invited to two weddings this September. They were both lovely weddings, and I wish both couples all the best for the future. I'm not sure what else to put for this part, this is the biggest problem with leaving the blog for ages!

I was very lucky to be given a ticket to go see Michael McIntyre, in Portsmouth for my birthday :) It was such a fun evening, not just seeing him live, but spending time with some of my lovely friends. Michael was so funny, really worth seeing live, and with jokes that we kept repeating throughout the rest of the night. It turns out though, that he was live in Bristol the night before!! But it wouldn't have been as much fun on my own. I also went to see the Bristol Comedy Gala, later in the month. This was to celebrate the re-opening of the Colston Hall, and to showcase some of Bristol talent, and beyond. The evening was, dare I say it, better than Michael McIntyre, but that was probably because there was a wide range of comedians, including Russell Howard, and ending with Justin Lee-Collins. The evening was long, just under four hours, but well worth it. There were some jokes that would have been lost on anyone who wasn't from Bristol, such as Peter Andre's signing at Asda, Bedminster.

As the title suggests, there was a birthday. I turned 23 at the end of September, and a lot of my friends are now taking great pleasure in calling me old... :(! I was back in Pompey to celebrate that with more of my friends, and I was able to go back to King's Church. I really do miss that place and all of my friends there, I'm going to try to make more of an effort to visit more often, I just need to find somewhere to stay!!

And finally, (these are turning into a news report :S), I have a job!!! On the 2nd November, I will be starting work as a laboratory technician at Mangotsfield School. It's maybe not where a lot of people would recommend I go, but it feels like a good place, and should be an exciting challenge!

That's it!

Take care,
