Good morning 5.5 on my “ wedding” day. I’m very excited.
Mr Eggy bought me, well us, two very beautiful Lalique wine glasses. I bought him, well us, an agapanthus, Forever Sapphire. Unfortunately, it won’t arrive until January 2026 as I opted for the root ball as a opposed to the potted. Having a light breakfast to make room for our afternoon tea, which is booked for 12pm! Handfasting ceremony at 11.30, they rang me yesterday, we have to be there 11.15. It’s only 15 minutes up the M6 and A74( M) so no hurry. Although I have a minor repair to my right big toenail to do. I lost it about 10 days ago, been wobbly for months, I got a set of fake nails and glued the thumb nail on, I only have tiny digits, woke this morning and it’s gone! Hunted high and low, luckily there’s two thumb nails in the pack!
This time 45 years ago, which was a Friday too, I was probably still boiling eggs and cooking drumsticks for our evening buffet, yes, along with my mother and mother-in-law we made our own 80s beige buffet! I then got the bus to the hairdressers for my Farrah Fawcett flick hair do, picked up my posy from the florist, I only ordered it the day before, did my own nails and makeup, I may have added a bit of pink eye shadow to make it more “ weddingy”. How times have changed, no hen dos in Benidorm in those days, local night club a few days before sufficed. But the funniest thing we remember about the day was that we walked home from our evening do carrying a Tupperware full of beige buffet which Mr Eggy consequently dropped in a puddle just yards from home! No exotic honeymoon either. A week in Torquay in a holiday apartment. £80 for the week booked from an ad in the Sunday Post! And yet, here we are, still making buffets for everyone, but I don’t wear pink eyeshadow anymore though.

Have a great holiday
@freesia.
Thanks for all your good wishes.
And here we are all those years ago. Outside of the hotel we’re going to today.
