A fabulous meeting with Rob on the South Bank. Lots and lots to do this weekend. I'm looking forward to being at home to do it, and to the dhal I have started preparations on by soaking mung beans. I need to buy a tiny bag of frozen peas... we don't have a freezer, but there's nothing that greens up a dhal like 'fresh' peas. Fabulous. I've laughed and laughed this evening. Wedding planning for lovely Kate and Stew. In itself a reason to rejoice - my lovely friend having met someone who matches her so well in tastes, values, creativity, energy and musicality. Them getting married. Me having the honour of being involved. To top it off, outstanding gentlemen Luc and Dan, absolute peaches, both (Luc and I are Kate's Best Man and Best Woman) and hilarious Mike, Stew's Best Man. He was on form (never met him before, but this is my assumption). He made us laugh a lot. We all made each other laugh a lot. We decided things. One of them was that stress is not an option... we are there to make sure there's a sense of perspective about how much to pay (emotionally rather than financially) for the different aspects of the wedding, to help it run smoothly and to be external voices of reason if anything starts to put too much pressure on things. It's what they've asked us to do. Good move!
French lesson in the morning. I'm loving this so much more than I thought I would. Not that I thought I wouldn't, as such, but it's great that it's so much fun.
Stretching out behind me is a very welcoming sofa bed. It was lovely to meet you ... but this is now my new friend.
