The day began with a mad old cousin shouting "I had an extraordinary experience with a radish this morning!" into a sudden hush, and went downhill from there...<br /><br />FF - Oh I WISH I sounded like Fenella Fielding. I can do deep but not husky, despite the ciggies. I had a shameful moment the other day where I suddenly remembered that I hadn't read the last 10 pages of the ASByatt (I was readding it on the plane) - so I did that, and of course had forgotten who everybody was.

Now that I've just done one, and it stayed in one piece, even after all the dancing, I might, just might, consider doing another one. The weight of responsbility didn't hit me till half-way though making it, it was all going fine until my sister said "How's the wedding dress going? It must be absolutely terrifying" and then I thought oh christ. But the complements on the day, the happiness of the bride etc made it all worthwhile.
