The opposite of jitters

A very exciting day on two counts: firstly I left work early to head down to Wells for Chris and Gail’s wedding, secondly, I got to drive TOH’s car for the very first time.

What fun it was powering down the motorway (within the speed limit, obviously, cough) in that beautiful, silver, sleek, king of cars. And how satisfying to finally drive something which people don’t cut up or drive up your back end.

We arrived in Wells after about four hours – we took a fairly country route, involving a dip into Bath – and found our guest house. After dumping our bags, we went straight down the pub to meet everyone for some pre-wedding drinks.

I must say the bride and groom were very composed and relaxed. I hope I feel that calm the night before!

The musician in the bar was hilarious. In between belting out cheesy pop songs, he kept muttering under his breath that no-one was listening. This next song, he would say, is Babylon by David Gray, not that you lot give a toss, before bashing it out on his electric piano. ‘Now the applause has died down ... on with the show ...'

Ha ha, poor sod.
