Me: Good morning. How are you today?
Nell: It’s afternoon, but I’ll let it go.
Me: Not here, it isn’t.
Nell: So, only one day to go before the wedding. How is everyone doing? It’s nice to see Alice and the children, by the way.
Me: Excited and a little tired. It’s much hotter today.
Nell: You’ll perk up after a cup of tea and some cereal.
Me: Yes. Chris is coming over for breakfast. He and the groomsmen are going out to the Toronto Islands for the day.
Nell: Make sure he wears a hat and puts on sunscreen. We don’t want a sunburnt groom.
Me: Don’t worry. He’s had his instructions from the multiple women in his life.
Nell: Multiple women?
Me: His wife-to-be, mother and sister.
Nell: I’m not surprised he’s going to the Islands.
Me: We’re just looking out for him. You’re the same.
Nell: True. What are your plans today?
Me: Last minute preparations for tomorrow and a pre-wedding drinks party this evening.
Nell: Do you have your wardrobe sorted?
Me: Yes. I’ve put all my clothes away.
Nell: I was talking about what you’re going to wear this evening. The Cat was asking.
Me: I’m wearing the blue dress Kev likes.
Nell: Good. Send photos if you can.
Me: Talking of photos, I see my Big Brave Beautiful Boy is sitting in my chair.
Nell: David’s been banned from the kitchen after Eating by Mistake.
Me: It can happen.
Nell: Herr Hoffmann says the roasted chicken had two legs when he placed it in the refrigerator.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: David claims the leg fell off when he was reaching for a carrot.
Me: Maybe it did?
Nell: This was clearly Eating by Intention. No mistake about it. Stop defending him.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
