Muddy Mum from Mud And Nettles has challenged me to the Love/ Hate Challenge!
Now you know me, I’m not good at hating things, and initially, I said no, I don’t think I could do this again… Then got to thinking… I’m on my way to an Indian wedding… Oooh there are some strong emotions I feel towards these days, so here goes!
The rules are simple
List 10 things you love and 10 things you hate!
Here goes!!
10 things I love about weddings!
1. Getting all dolled up!
2. The meeting of family we haven’t seen in ages.
3. The beauty of such a special day.
4. The colorful outfits everyone wears.
5. Seeing new and beautiful venues.
6. The party.
7. The dancing!
8. The singing!
9. The food!!!
10. All the pomp and circumstance of an Indian wedding!
10 things I hate about weddings! Indian ones particularly!
1. The extra early starts on the wedding day! It ain’t fun, smearing full slap on at 6am!!!
2. The sheer amount of functions you are expected to attend, especially if you are not that close to the couple getting married!
3. The expenses incurred by a big fat Indian wedding, the day itself alone is in the 10’s of thousands sometimes!
4. The expectations that there should be a certain amount of give and give… not take, from the brides family.
5. Having to invite everyone, and allowing them to bring their whole family… Oh my, the expense!
6. The free flowing alcohol which causes extreme idiot behavior from certain males, who have to get tanked up… Cos they can!
7. The fact that a lot of the time, women can’t let their hair down and have a drink , in the open, if they want to.
8. At the temple, the ceremony is beautiful, then you get the temple committee member extending familial congratulations, before launching into an appeal to get everyone to donate lots of money to the temple!
9. The lateness, that is inevitable. That’s Typical Indian Timing (T.I.T.!) for you!
10. The fact that we be up early to get there on time, to make sure a persons special day is not ruined by lateness, for them to all be late anyway!!! I coulda got another hours kip, Jeez!!!!
And with that, I say anyone who fancies it, take up the challenge!
I’m in the car, to the wedding now, will catch up later!
Adios Amigos!
Saturday Smiles!

Well, did you?
If you day has just begun, then I hope this cutie has raised a smile, and if your day is ending, I hope you go to sleep with a smile!
Smile Peeps! It’s the best remedy for everything!

Last day of term… = teacher appreciation and gifts!
While this is so not the reason I teach, it is a lovely perk of the job!
Gifts including chocolate (- lots!), wine, a scarf, jewellery, a handbag, pens, notebook and candles!
Such sweet cards!
Gorgeous flowers!
Aren’t they?
A special bear!
And someone found a new comfy place!
“You looking ‘ at me?”
Aw! 6 weeks to spend with this cutie!!!
Note to parents… You should never feel obliged to buy teacher gifts… It’s become a big thing recently, and quite an expensive business too. We would be happy with a card written by the child, and if you really had to, a box of chocs or biscuits for the staff to share! But all your gifts are truly appreciated, so Thank You! 🙂
A heartfelt thank you to you all who spoke with us and relayed how our being there for your child, had helped them in some way, or another.This is why I teach… The chocolates are a bonus!
