The coolest verbs of this week

• Finding a flat for Rach and I to live in when we are married. I find myself getting excited about the small details of it, like airing cupboards and dishwashers. It'll be really nice to be able to invite people round!
• Finalising catering and church arrangements for the wedding, and getting sound wisdom from a great couple in the church at marriage preparation. Its all coming together nicely.
• Hanging out with the McBurnie family. They are such a cool, generous, fun bunch. Did I say cool?
  
• Listening to some live bands in Exmouth. One band also had an inflatable parrot - what's not to like?
• Walking by the beach, getting my overdue seaside fix - and just so happened to catch the red arrows at the same time, doing their ducking, diving, streaming aquafresh colours thing.
• Visiting Bath and seeing some incredible busking - I guess someone briefed them about the strict 'no Wonderwall' policy. But Stairway wasn't denied!
• Cruising the Swindon ice rink. There were, of course, lots of small kids way faster than me. They have these cool small penguins that you can hold on to as stabilisers but there aren't any grown-up versions!
• Lastly, it can't be considered a cool week without the addition of eating a criminal amount of cake..
