Good Omens

When Good Omens arrived on Amazon, we watched its six episodes. I really loved it and really enjoyed the two leads. As a consequence I then bought the book and read that, for the first time. Turns out, I really love the book too. I'm not quite sure how I missed it before as I'm a huge Terry Pratchett fan, but nice to meet it now. Again, the two leads are great and really make it. However, what's most impressive is how closely the TV series matches the book. The book has got some nice details that the TV series didn't quite put across (such as everything to do with Dog) and the TV series has updated a little - but not as much as I would have expected to be necessary.

Wedding

Today was Roo and Stef's wedding. It wasn't the greatest day for it, being the hottest day of the year so far (about 32 degrees C), and there was much drinking of water.

They got married at the Registry Office yesterday and Warlock did the ceremony today.



The day was arrival (Pimms / Cordial), ceremony, meal and then later it was to be cake, dancing, light supper and more dancing. Except we bailed not long after the meal. It was a good meal (fish starter, buffet dinner, cheesecake) but I've never seen so much left-over wine before.

It was nice to see everyone. The Best Person's (Rhi's) speech was excellent. And the couple were very happy.
