Did You See It??

Well, the proverbial cat is out of the bag. Remember a few days back, Auntie S. and her significant other, Matador were our first official visitors? While here they took a side trip to Paris and Matador became a lot more significant, they got engaged!! Very romantic. Surprised? Well, you shouldn’t be. The loyal readers of Wind the Frog were some of the first to know. Do you recall my post slyly called “Just a Little News"”? Go back and read it again. Now look at the first letter of each sentence. Here is the post again formatted in a more helpful way.

The house is a bit quieter.
Having four teenagers in the house increases the noise volume in the flat quite a bit.
Early yesterday morning Kiki walked the Belgian girls to the bus at the school

Yesterday, we all went to the Lord Mayors Parade.
All of us, Auntie S. & Matador (back from their quick trip from Paris), Chizz, Kiki, Snake & I.
Remarkably, the weather was quite good again.
Each trade and branch of the military had a float.

Everyone agreed a little parade goes a long way.
Next off to the pub (of course, because every outing with
Chizz involves a trip to the pub at some point.)
Good thing the parade ended right near the George; a pub across the street the Royal Courts of Justice.
After a couple of pints and some bangers and mash, fish and chips, steak pie and a BLT, we caught a bus back up Oxford
Street and saw the Christmas decorations.
Gosh the traffic was awful, it took an hour to go ½ mile but gave us ample opportunity to see the decorations up close and
personal.

Eventually we made it home and went on a pub crawl; four of our favorite pubs in the neighborhood.
Drinks and dinner were great and there are blackmail photographs!

See it yet? T. H. E. Y. A. R.E. E.N.G.A.G.E.D. I must credit both Chizz and Auntie S., they helped me when I was stuck for a word or two or sixteen. Now starts the part of the wedding process that Chizz loves the best, the planning and the talking about every single detail several hundred times. All of us at WTF (hey I just got that - it works!), Wendy, Chizz, Kiki & Snake are very happy for Auntie S. and Matador, soon to be Uncle M. or the Uncle formally known as Matador. We might have to work on that title a bit. Congrats!!!!
