Richards and My Wedding is going to be

in the time period of the late 1800's to go along with the Howick Historical village and to fit in with the 1860 built church.

Doing the study on the time period, the fashion etc is interesting to say the least.
Found a lovely lady recently moved to England to make my wedding dress.

Still umming on the bridemaids current choice.

From what I can see of bridesmaids from that time period they all seem to also be in white.
links to photos I've found online
Bride and bridesmaids 1890
Bride and bridesmaids 1885
Well all very exciting.

Wouldn't it be great if when travelling sales men and

mormons came knocking at the door we could all do what Mr Burns does. "release the hounds!"

:-) All smiles still

I got another A+ on my last paper, it was only power point though..... but now comes the fun stuff again.
Ms Access is my current study and paper, then into building a database which I'm hoping will be in ms sql.

Want to hear something funny

(I heard this from my favourite radio station this morning - zm)
The Aussies have a very successful speeding campaign at the moment.

Along the lines of 'no one thinks of you as a big man when you speed' and women waving their pinky (smallest finger at them) suggesting that they are small.

Anyway New Zealand is not going to take on this campaign because it won't be received well.

lol - i thought that was the whole idea.

Just in addition to my last blog

Why do people defend these photographers saying they are just doing their job. Hired hit men are just doing their job too. Should we start defending hired hit men, or suggest both get jobs that allow them to sleep better at night.

Besides there are many other photographic jobs that don't involve stalking people, like the lovely photographer we are getting to photograph our wedding.

Vent finished again.

What gets my goat recently

Our main newspaper, on the front page is a photo of Princess Di, in her last moments of her life it says.
...."Trevor Rees-Jones holds his hand up and chauffeur Henri Paul stares into the camera shortly before the fatal crash."

I'm soooo shocked, am I the only one who is absolutely disgusted, New Zealand Herald bought this photo and stating that its just before the fatal crash. If you had that blinding light flashing into the vehicle (hence Trevor holding his hand up and just look at the amount of light in that vehicle at that time of night), with people chasing you and concerned for the safety of such precious cargo, how well could you drive?????? Could the photographer who took this picture be Diana's murder???????? What do you think???????? I'm hacked off enough to forward this blog to our National News Paper, because I don't condone the paid endorsement that led to Diana's death.

My list of things still needing to be invented

1) silent vaccum cleaners

And yes, yet another A+

and this was advanced excel, and I was going to be happy with a B. But all very interesting and will be helpful with my programming with getting into functions, arrays, conditional formatting, logic statements, criteria ranges, consolidation, vlookup etc
