ROYAL WEDDING

I GOT INVITED, SAT NEXT TO JULIA GILLARD AND PRINCE HARRY SNEAKILY PROPOSED TO ME.

Just kidding. I wish.

However, we did head into Hyde Park to watch it! Along with 120 000 other people. It was so much fun, we all 'awww'ed at the moment where Harry looked around and said 'Wait 'til you see her to Will'. the moment where they looked at each other, any moment really. When Kate got out of her car everyone cheered loudly, stood up, and waved their Union Jacks like their life depended on it. The atmosphere was awesome.

Only awkward bit was when the entire park stood up to sing 'God Save the Queen', and us, along with a thousand other Aussies, Kiwis and Canadians, stood there awkwardly and half-heartedly waved our flags. Australians all let us rejoice?

Rose, Aisling and I had packed a picnic and everything. After the wedding had 'finished', there was a massive stage with a band playing 'wedding songs', so we belted out everything from Shania Twain to Robbie Williams for an hour or two. We were up dancing nearly the whole time, the park was mostly full of young people like us having a day out. I don't care what people say about it being ridiculous - it was such a great day, all the Brits were so patriotic and at the end of the day, it's really nice to watch a wedding!

Afterwards, we made a detour to Kings Cross Station so we could go to Platform 9 3/4. We got lost however...
Kings cross ticket guy : 'Where are you girls trying to get to?'
Aisling and I: 'HOGWARTS!!!!'
We found it eventually, and I'm not ashamed to say I let out a very loud and excited squeal!
