Fresh Lime Soda: The Video Episode

by Suw on April 15, 2007

So whilst Steph was staying with Kevin and me last week, she and I decided to record an episode of our podcast, Fresh Lime Soda. Of course, being in the same physical location allowed us to do something we can't normally do – mess about with Photobooth, and use iMovie to record a video podcast. It's only 22 minutes long, but that's sadly too long for YouTube, so in order to watch I recommend you download the episode from our blog. Of course, I can't guarantee that you'll find it in any way entertaining or informative, so any watching you do will be entirely at your own risk.
Oh, and the ending was entirely Steph's idea. Just want to make that clear from the off.

Mmmm, stationery!

by Suw on April 15, 2007

It's amazing how much of the stuff that needs to be organised for this wedding hinges on one thing – the dress. Whilst I still haven't entirely solved the dress problem yet, the shape and form of that problem is resolving in my mind, along with little fragments of the answer. I now know, for example, the colour scheme… Or at least, I think I know. I suppose I might still change my mind.
This makes it easier to start thinking about stuff like stationery and table dressing. Last night I spent a happy few hours looking at a DIY wedding stationery site that I was told about by a colleague of a friend at Nature after I mentioned my wedding in passing at the end of a meeting. He produced a business card from his pocket and mentioned that one of his family members runs it – and it's a neat little site. (URL to come when I'm on a real computer. I'm writing this on my phone.)
I had so much fun looking at the different styles of invitation – some of them are really lovely, and it'll be fun to print them out and put them together ourselves.
Then Kate pointed me to a site that does candles, so that provided another happy diversion as I thought about how to make the tables all look pretty. Then there's organza bags and sugared almonds for the favours. So much to look at!
I have to admit, right now I feel more excited about the stationery than I do about the dress. But then, I've always had a thing for stationery, and dresses have always left me cold. Maybe it's just a geek thing.
