Meh. Angsty post.
It’s been yonks since I last blogged. Mainly because I forget; partly because extra typing => hands burn.
I went to a wedding today – my uncle and his partner who’ve been together for 14 years, and have a daughter aged 8 (or thereabouts) finally decided to wed. It was a fairly small affair, just close family and a few friends… My eldest cousin was married last year; the next one is in the USA so couldn’t make it; the next two (both younger than me) each had their girlfriend with them; my sister’s boyfriend couldn’t make it but would have been there; both of my new aunt’s children from her previous marriage had ‘other half’ in tow. It didn’t occur to me at the time, but I am now feeling decidedly single and it’s not a very nice feeling. But I’ll get over it soon enough (the feeling, not the girlfriendlessness) — I always do. Still a bit disheartening, though.
Tell me about it, I’m feeling ever so single too…maybe all those singles we know should all get together and have a singles night where we drink gin and sit on the pavement and sing songs about how love is doomed and everything ends in divorce…just to cheer ourselves up…

Just to add another wedding experience to this: I went to the wedding of an old school friend, and there wasn’t a single single man there, and only two single girls (one of them me…). And the place cards were per table, so ours looked like this:
Sabine und Alex
Kai und Renate
Someoneelse und someoneelse
Julia
Very depressing…
