So, the big day is nearly here. By the time that I next post I will be a married man.

We're just having a small family affair. We've hired a limo to take us to the registry office. After the ceremony it's a short hop to our favourite Italian restaurant where we're taking over the basement floor. We've hired a musician and a magician for entertainment during the meal. Then it's all back to our place for champagne, speeches, more food and fireworks.

We're all set to go and we're looking forward to it with eager anticipation. The champagne is all lined up in the fridge, so it looks like Eddy's in Absolutely Fabulous.

I'm still planning to do my rowing in the morning, but all bets are off as regards good nutrition over the course of the day. I'll be back to the good habits on Sunday, though.
