I was greeted by Kevin when I arrived back in Toronto. I was glad to be back, all I had for them was bad news though. I was tired but was in no mood to sleep so I stayed up watching the food network and so on, back on with the usual routine. I pretty much got back to my previous routine the next days. I had been told that Mike's uncle had got married during the summer and nobody had been around to celebrate the wedding. Jim and Bev had planned to have the wedding party at their house, they were going to get a caterer in and all sorts. Most of their cousins would be coming, I would get to meet them all. I don't think I have ever seen any of them before, I have seen Bev's mother once or twice before but she was the only one. Jim had been buying some beer for the party and set up a mini fridge by the back door. I was given the task of helping set up the chairs, I gave Jim a hand picking them up from a neighbours house and helped him set it up in the back garden. I took it upon myself to hoover up the basement, I don't know when it was last done. It hadn't been done the whole time I was there and that was over a week now. It didn't take too long and was nice and clean now. I rearranged the furniture making it as neat as possible. The house was looking ready for a party now. Everything was pretty much sorted now, we were all just adding the finishing touches and blowing up balloons. Mike and myself had a few games of FIFA before people arrived. We had been playing a season with Aston Villa, we had already played one, won it and had started a second and were just under half way through. I had been drinking quite a bit of beer since arriving here. The main beer I had was Sleeman's Cream Ale, then I discovered Mill St's Coffee Porter and bought a twelve of that. There was this beer called Moosehead that I have just started drinking, its a lighter pilsner beer. Mike was drinking this beer called Mickeys, its a very watery beer with barely any flavour but quite high in alcohol. The best thing about Mickeys is the riddles they have in the bottle top. Its quite fun trying to figure out what they mean. I had a shower, shave and got dressed. Everybody was ready now, just waiting for the guests to arrive.
