Exciting things to come

• My brother’s getting married in exactly a month’s time and I simply can’t wait. For some weird, obscure reason, they decided to have the wedding in a Greek island. Nor he nor the bride-to-be has any connection to that island. It’s like they opened a map, closed their eyes and pointed into one of the hundreds of available islands. I’m not complaining though. That sounds way better than choosing the same old church in a city, any city. The ceremony will take place during midday. After that, there will be a reception in a local taverna, followed by a party at the beach bar next door. The invitation mentions informal attire and swimming trunks for the rest of the afternoon and evening! I’ll combine the wedding with seeing my family and staying for a couple of extra days on the island. It will be amazing. I now need to find something to wear. I’m going for a proper 3 pieces suit, but still, I will need something proper to wear in 35 degrees Celsius for a couple of hours. 

• Not many weeks after the wedding, mine and JJ’s long summer holidays are planned! I’m not going to comment on how much we need those and are looking forward to them. To give you an idea, JJ has in a way started packing already (almost 1.5 months in advance). I’ll tell you all about these in posts to come, definitely.

• On a very different note, the following Sunday, I have my very first 10 km run in Regent’s Park. I hope the weather by then will improve. I have been training during the last couple of months for that. It’s been going generally very well. I don’t know if I’ll manage a PB, but I don’t really care at the moment. I just want to get to the fitness level I was a couple of years ago.
