For those of you who didn't read this entry of [livejournal.com profile] no1typo's, Tiptoes (and here) died last night. He had been taken to the vet because he was terribly thin and wheezing a lot of the time, and he was kept over night so they could give him some thyroid and asthma medicine and be checked over properly (though the vet said he thought Tiptoes still had some life left in him), and he died during the night. He was 17 or 18 years old by my reckoning, and had had a good life, but I'm still rather sad. He came in to our lives on a wet April night making a dreadful racket, moving in from next door and causing no end of hassle by refusing to go back to our neighbours using any number of hiding places when they came to get him. Eventually he got his own way and he stayed, and was by far the most vocal of the cats with a purr that sounded like a pneumatic drill and a cry you could hear all over the house. He will be greatly missed.

Entry from when Kitty died.

I'm currently watching the musical version of The War of the Worlds in concert, conducted by Jeff Wayne himself (available here on DVD) and it's brilliant to watch (with the possible exception of the freaky head of Richard Burton). The martian's machines are just right, exactly how I imagined them :D Not all silly like the Tom Cruise stupidness.

The bit that is actually making my heart swell with pride and excitement (probably as a violin player myself with several years of orchestra playing behind me) is seeing the strings sections playing with their bows perfectly in synch - using the same amounts of the bow, going in the same direction as each other as exactly the same time. It's just an awesome sight (and as a strings player I appreciate how difficult it is ;))

I'm also rather impressed with their magical digital music/electronic music stands. So much easier and neater than the (necessarily) dog eared copies and crappy fally down music stands I had to deal with.

I'm going to write a webpage about [livejournal.com profile] benc and I's wedding, and I would love some contributions from you guys. You all have such different perceptions of the preparations and the day itself and I would love to have these from you so I can get a much more rounded picture of what it was all like and represent lots of different sides to it, rather than just the "Bride and Groom" perspective.

[livejournal.com profile] no1typo inspired this request - I think it's a really excellent one, so if you have any comments or memories about the wedding, or the lead up to it, or the aftermath then please comment below (leaving the name you would want to be seen as on the webpage) or email me at weddingmemories@carina.org.uk. This is open to anyone :)

I want to see lots of memories! Get cracking ;)
