Wish me luck
Good for you?
But thank you, the Short-Kelp clan are very happy right now. Indigo has brought us so much joy, we can’t wait to have double that joy. Though, admittedly I wasn’t expecting it to be this soon. Then again, I wasn’t expecting Indigo to be in her early school years stage already.

One of those is not like the others…
I take offense at that. 20% on me was very well chosen. Without my inventions, we’d be at the level of humans.
Foaly, is it wise to irritate me while I’m deciding how much budget to give you next year?
On a related note, do tell me why the LEP are i need of helmets complete with satellite television?
…Perhaps not. But, you would never replace me. You couldn’t.
Well. Wouldn’t you want to watch television while taking your breaks?
Replace you, no. Cutting your department down though…that’s tempting.Um, no. Besides if you’re wearing a helmet that means you’re on a mission and thus need to be focusing the whole time.
You wouldn’t really cut down my department though…right?
Well, pardon me for not knowing that as well as you do. I’m not exactly a mission person(and I do not want to be one. At all).
I still think television was a good add on though.
Foaly, you’re even worse than I am at checking this infernal site.
Perhaps if you’re struggling with what the average LEP officer needs, we can get you some real-world experience…? Grub could always use some help over at Howler’s
(Well, still Short.Captain Short, Mrs Kelp- a nice compromise I feel!)
So we just got back from our honeymoon, which was rather lovely (we went to an island that humans are yet to take over, and thus is used as a holiday destination for fairies. In the middle of the Pacific ocean).
The wedding was also amazing. Quite a lot happened, and I can’t really go into it in huge detail cause it’s a bit of a blur right now! But please feel free to probe me or Trubs for more info!
We were going to get married in a little community centre hall place, but Trouble had secretly booked out the courtyard in the middle of Police Plaza, so we got married in front of the whole LEP, pretty much. Which was pretty incredible! Then we had our reception in a huge tent thing on the shores of Haven Waters, and Foaly bullied the weather guys into getting us some sunshine. It all went mad after that, because us elves know how to do wedding receptions. Lots and lots of dancing and singing and eating. I think even Artemis got into it, though that may have been thanks to Juliet and I constantly, uh, bullying him. Indigo fell asleep in the middle of the dancefloor and had to be tucked into the coats of the guests in the corner of the tent. She looked very content there, it had to be said!
Then we went off on our honeymoon, riding the hotshots. Naturally.
Anyway, I don’t have a huge amount of photos yet but here’s one of me at the reception:
Enjoy, and ask away!

I like how Holly left out the really hilarious moments, because they slightly detach from the general elegance of the day, For example:
- When Indigo dropped the rings and had to chase them down through the hoard of LEP employees watching the ceremony
- When Mulch turned up late and was almost arrested by an overzealous cadet who forgot he’s no longer a wanted criminal
- When Indigo butted into the first dance, and demanded to dance with me now. Only to then get bored and demand to dance with Butler instead. He politely refused.
- When Mulch drank too much and fell asleep next to Indigo (after trying to ride Foaly).
- Holly and Juliet generally together at a party were a lethal partnership. I’m surprised Artemis and I made it out alive.
Enjoy those little snippets ;)

Oh yes, Holly is a right old saint. But I won’t say anymore on that matter, because I’m already in enough trouble.

Look who turned up in Police Plaza hospital ward…
Much like me, Trubs isn’t great at accepting he needs medical attention. Luckily, his wife-to-be is scarier than he is. Hence the evil look being sent my way. Indigo took this photo by the way- she was surprisingly calm about all this, but she said it was because she remembered this happening the first time around. Gotta love time travel…

Yet again Holly succeeds in making everything so much more dramatic than it actually was. I was just attacked with a weird dart containing a fairy poison (pretty sure there was some animal fat in there). Nothing major, just a bit of a bitch to get rid of.
You can hardly take the moral highground here, Holly- how many crazy stunts have you pulled again? ;) TK

Instead of helping Trubs, I’m just tinkering with his blog. I decided his icon should be a bit happier- do we like?

Come say hi sometime.
gutted I missed this. How did it go mudgirl? H x
A lot less exciting than you might expect. Barely a peep in fact. I’m on almost every night though, so I think once people stop being so shy they’ll say hello.
Disappointing! (I’m on Trubs blog because he’s getting me to work out the maths on the budget that he can’t. Bless his little brain ;) )
We don’t get Skype signal down here, no matter how much Foaly tries. Otherwise I’d be there! H x
