So far today I've lay by the pool sipping cocktails, had a few beers on the balcony before I went for a shower, watched both Rocky 2 & 3 in Spanish and now I'm sitting with a pint of wine after eating a large dinner and three deserts I can't remember much about my brief solo trip to Buenos Aires, largely because the restaurants seem to give you a complimentary bottle of malbec at every meal like it was table water. Most of it got tanked before the food turned up, and with the top-up of cheap tasty cold beer through the hot day, I spent most of the daylight hours fairly... erm, merry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly be more applicable to teachers, but I'd have thought some lecturers/tutors would need one too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Got married on Saturday. Absolutely phenomenal weekend and it goes in far too fast. Definitely got a bit of the post wedding blues at the moment trying to adjust back to normal life after the months of planning and anticipation, then the adrenaline fuelled day itself. Feel like I’m on a proper comedown. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like I’m on a proper comedown. I hated planning, anticipation and all that. Once it was done, it was great. Quick advice: she will never accept any excuse for forgetting the anniversary. I have tried them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
