Not sure what you are planning to do Friday evening but in case you havent heard (!) there is a royal wedding happening. And pro-republic as I am, I still am fascinated by the Royal family - just as I am by the Danish Royal family and so on. So although I understand that many people want to hide under their pillow and hum loudly until the media decides to find something else to obsess over, I am very much looking forward to settling in to watch every slow, stilted moment.

I can remember quite clearly being allowed to stay up with my Mum at the grand old age of five for Fergies wedding (I was too young for Diana's) and I loved every minute of watching a princess in the making (hmm no comment on how the marriage went!). So Elka is going to stay up and watch with us. I am cooking an orange spiced rice pudding and we have a yummy bottle of dessert wine picked out and I can't wait to setttle in on the lounge and watch the fanciness.

Do you have plans?

I'm excited too, but a little cranky that it's on during business hours and I don't get a public holiday too. I guess I'll just have to follow the twitter updates from work.

I'll probably take a peek at her dress at some point, but that will be about it! Sounds like a fantastic evening for you though - hope Elka loves it too!!

I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
