Copenhagen, What You Talking About Willis?

Yes yes the plan for a jaunt around Scandinavia is still going forward for next year, just pending the decisions of some folks. In the mean time, I will be heading over to Copenhagen for a bit of a scrap this Autumn. Currently it looks like I will be by my lonesome, but I'm sure that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Travel has been arranged through the sultry EasyJet.com, and accommodation via the DanHostel Copenhagen City.

Just need to squeeze my Gi into a backpack and I'm all set :)

10th of August

So, me and Helen got hitched. Months of planning, scheming, stressing and crying all peaked in one perfect day. I got to marry my best friend.

I then took her Paris XD

Only for a short while. Orlaith couldn't join us unfortunately, therefore any longer than a few days would seem like an eternity to Helen and I. Although, apparently, Orlaith did not notice or care.

Just means we'll have to take lots of small holidays to make up for the shorter honeymoon. Oh well :)

A Brief Comparison of Time

To put this in perspective from my home town. If 100 000 years was 1 mile, the beginning of the dinosaurs till now would reach from the Town Hall to the end of Italy's boot. The length of time Homo Sapiens have existed would reach from the Town Hall to the Shire Horse pub, and Christianity wouldn't actually make it out of the Market Square.
