Wedding pics of the triple princess

My Sister's Big Greek Wedding

My laptop and I are melting in the Greek sun, but here's a delicious shot of my sister finally getting married... 16 years dating... 5 years engaged and 2 kids later.

I think she looks very beautiful indeed. In the words of her youngest son:

'My double happy moment was when my big brother said my name in his speech. My happy moment was when my mum was in the carriage and looked like a triple princess...' big gulp of breath. 'She did look like a triple princess.'

Oh.... OK.... that's not working....I'm in a bar (hilariously) called Gyroland....I'll post some pictures when I get a better signal.

Party time - NO CONSERVATIVES IN MY BACK YARD

Having been ridiculously busy, and vaguely misrepresented in the Sun newspaper who had me supporting a piece on being 'let down by a Labour government,' and therefore, a bit Tory, which was odd given I said,'I do not feel let down by the Labour party.' And the only thing I ever liked about Cameron was that he rides a bicycle, and even then that was show piece.

Though, I do think that Brown has been a tosser of late, and that there are few good people in his little red coop, and Sarah Brown doesn't actually need to be playing the good cop in heels all the time, very irritating. Labour need someone new and exciting, like --- hm, Lady Gaga, for prime minister.

I have, historically, been Liberal Democrat, but I think Nick Clegg is a scoffing schoolboy and I don't trust his hairline, so I've gone off him like old mushrooms.

So I voted, and London being London, the rule seemed to be you can vote for three people on this paper and one on the other. So I divided it between the two least offensive of the main parties, and then gave my vote to women. (Hopefully Robin is a woman?)

In my opinion women have been left on the sidelines of this election: male commentators, male news reporters, male referees on the debates. Yes, yes, yes, they've been going for the 'Mum's vote' alright- but elsewhere...like er. ITV, BBC, Sky (I don't have Sky, who chaired that one) ...did women hit a glass ceiling?

If one actually reckoned it up, we women are the marginalized group in this vote.

And yes, I know about Mumsnet, and all those things, I'm talking about heavyweight reporters on prime time television with breasts. Perhaps I blinked and missed the women... there were just too many men in suits standing in the way.

I'm on the train, heading back from watching The Jesse Rose Trip at Kensington Roof Gardens. They were excellent. I'm sober - £6.75 a glass of wine!

Super talented, attractive, young, band...

Good Lord...

Anyhow, I'm sitting by a glamour puss, aged 50 plus, her head buried into a plastic bag, should she vomit.

Must be Friday night.... Hm / Saturday morning.

Zzzzzz

Short Cuts

I think there should be tax cuts for people 5ft 3 and under, to er.... enable growth.

Lock In

Mandelson's buzz words: priority, lock in, lock in, recovery.

Hoorah, if you don't have a house worth over a million squid, no stamp duty.

I bet some people will be pissed off...like, er those who've already been stung.

Talking off being pissed, booze is on the up: drats.

Darling Budget

I'm at work on my lunch, watching ITV's budget coverage: it's my new favourite tv show.


Bankers
Boozers
Shiny-faced politicians


Apparently, 'it's not about the detail, it's about the mood music'.

Also, I'm loving the live blogging element pasted onto the action.

Who knew politics could be this exciting?!!!

Teary-eyed

Oh... Married Single Other, it's still the best thing on television - not least because I was watching my new favourite show only to be happily astounded to see my flatmate's boyfriend on there singing!

But oh, how sad, how perfectly written, how perfectly shot, and what a perfect cast of characters.

I don't want it to end....

We are Flora

This evening Jack and I watched Manchester United beat Milan:

'If life was a supermarket,' said Jack, just after the second goal. 'We'd be Flora Omega 3.'
'How'd you work that out?'
'Well we're not Tesco Value margarine, we're just a bit above Vitalite, but not quite as good as Lurpak... so that makes us Flora.'

Move over Aristotle and make way for the world according to Jack.
