Left to my own devices

Nicole's brother Chris is getting married to Nicky who you'll of course remember from previously.

Without going into too many details, Nicky's an Aussie and her visa was due to expire, so wedding bells have been ringing. Obviously that's not the only reason and furthermore I wouldn't presume to portray their union as anything other than the consummation and proclamation of their undying love that it so clearly is.

You're probably thinking I'm being sarcastic. But no.

Nicole was umming and ahhing.... could she get the time off work at such short notice, could she justify flying half way round the world just for a couple of days, but could she really not be there when ickle Chris tied the knot?

On Wednesday her heart got the better of her head. I said she should go, or else she'd regret forever that she hadn't.... so she booked the flights and on Thursday morning I gave her and Eloise a lift to the airport.

She got the times wrong for her aeroplane, didn't she, the plonker.
