A busy day starting with beauty treatments for me and the dog in preparation for a wedding on Saturday. No, the dog is not going to the wedding, I just somehow managed to make her first grooming appointment for a day that I should have known was going to be crazy.

Then laundry, ironing, cooking, housework and packing. Dropped R to dance class and rushed out to meet three girlfriends I hadn’t seen since Christmas. Why today? Because it took us about 10 email exchanges to fix a date, but I had a fun few hours with them catching up.
