This and that

(1) I think that William and Kate should put the wedding out to tender. Venues would be falling over themselves to host it - think of the extra business they'd get! If the happy couple manage it correctly, they could even turn a profit.

(2) I like today's Matt cartoon.

(3) I'm not obsessed by royal weddings, really! So, for your delectation and delight - The ultimate kitten snuggle. Stay with it 'til the reveal.

(4) "This is Battlelore’s first concept album – all the lyrics together tell the story of J.R.R. Tolkien’s tragic hero Túrin Turambar and his kin." How depressing is that?

(5) Come to Loughborough in 2012!

(6) We had a good look at a fox two evenings ago.

(7) A waxwing has made it down to Bristol! I hope it hangs around for a bit (or goes back to get its friends).

I'm a Prince - Get Me Out Of Here!

On 1 Forget tendering the Royal Nuptials - I expect a TV talent show in which various hoteliers, chefs, decorators and entrepreneurs (no names, no pack drill) vie to win the coveted right to present the Royal Wedding.

Wouldn't it be great if our future queen put her foot down and insisted on a "quiet registry office do, just immediate family"?

I think they're going to crack in the week before the wedding, and Wills is going to fly them up to Gretna.

I am grateful to Wills and Kate because it has given the meeedja something reasonably cheerful to bang on about. I'd far rather the constant background wittering was about venues/dresses/mugs that recession doom and gloom all the time.

Oh-em-gee, how cute is that kitten video?!? Thank you for that, it definitely brought the WAFFiness which I was sorely needing :-)
