Two worrying realisations...

1. I quite enjoyed watching the Royal Wedding - I thought it was going to be an horrendous tribute to everything I dislike about Britain and the monarchy but it turns out that it was a tasteful, romantic betrothal of two people that clearly love each other. Everyone looked lovely (ignoring of course Princess Beatrice's tapeworm hat) and happy and London looked wonderful in the sunshine in all it's Union Jack-ed glory (or is it Flag-ed? I can never remember which way round it goes). All in all a good excuse for a party and nice to have something less miserable in the news.

2. I'm not finding being involved in 5 weddings all that painful. I thought it would be a never ending misery-fest but so far I'm actually quite enjoying myself. I love planning things and writing lists so it's not surprising really that hen party organisation is turning out to be quite good fun. Although that might all change as the blessed events draw closer...

Clearly I'm broken and need to find a job as soon as possible in order to reawaken my jelly-like brain and get some sensible perspective!

Wedding 0.5 - Royal Wedding themed mini-madness!

My Mum is officially mad – today she made me go into her class of 5 year olds and be the official photographer whilst they acted out the royal wedding. There was Will and Kate, Harry as Best Man, four bridesmaids and the father of the bride, a ring, a cake, flowers, balloons and bunting. She even managed to rope in our poor local priest to take the ceremony. They walked down the aisle to the wedding march in front of the whole school and cut the cake in the playground reception which involved crisps, pink wafers and jammy dodgers! She even made me wear a dress for the occasion. Needless to say the children loved it, I wasn’t so sure.....
