And wondering why it won’t pack itself.

To more interesting matters…

We started practising the songs again last night, after a couple of weeks break. The person most in need of extra work is me!! Luckily, we now have two months grace, and can make a much better job of it all. We’d’ve done absolutely fine for the original purpose of doing these songs, but now we’ve got a chance to practice more, we are all keen to do them well. I need not to watch or listen to the asides that have worked their way in to this – I’ve been getting the giggles in some very daft places, and when I’m concentrating on counting 7 beats to a bar, or frantically trying to keep to a calypso beat, instead of a simple 4/4 this is unhelpful!!

My stomach is churning wildly. Three months worth of thinking about some pretty major stuff is about to be discussed very thoroughly, and I’m not looking forwards to it at all. It needs to be done and I need to say it all, and not chicken out. There is potential for a huge glaring competition!!

Wedding Number Three of the month is tomorrow. And I’m not playing for it!!! In fact, all I need to do is turn up, wearing official outfit, and try to behave myself. There is huge potential for me not to, despite the fact that for a large number of the guests I have been an Important and Responsible Grown-up in their past. I am inclined to forget I am no longer responsible for their behaviour en masse any more.

No – that rucksack’s still not packed itself, so I’d better do it and go and catch that train.

Back in a couple of days…
