is it true that bad luck comes in threes? some superstitious persons believe that an owl hooting three times is not a good sign. the same applies if you see three butterflies together. some people also think that singing before breakfast is bad luck – weirdos.
anywhooo .. i wasnt thinking about bad luck so much as i was thinking about things happening in threes. and this year, the threesome is all about engagements. first it was my oldest friend sarah and andy in may, then it was my brother iain and cat in july, now august rolled past and whilst my brother james went to japan for a conference (i think) he came back engaged to yoko!
james and yoko - could he look any more enamoured?
i hadnt written their congratulations post on my old blog yet .. so in the spirit of all things new, i am doing it here. just quietly though, i’m wondering how my bank balance is going to handle a trip to england (and sardinia) in august 2009 and then a trip to japan in august 2010. is there anything wrong with getting married at home in moms garden guys??!! i guess thats what we get for travelling and seeing the world and meeting people from all over. anyway – i’m far too excited to think about the money right now. weddings mean one thing ….. babies!! and i get nephews and or nieces to practice on and then hand back when they start screaming and spewing and farting and pooping. i’m trying to think of this practically – otherwise i go back to thinking its not fair that both my younger brothers are getting married before me!
i need to find a four leaf clover and put it in my right shoe and then apparently the next bachelor i meet will become my husband. really? hmmmmm .. we’ll see.
