The Daily Teaser …

You know, I’ve GOT to admit, I’m in two minds about the upcoming Royal Wedding, I really am.

On the one hand … ?

I’m single …

And recently found out someone I’d been getting close to has started dating someone I’d felt was a friend.

So a wedding’s at the moment, is a bit ambiguous, and something I can’t help but be cynical about.

On the other hand … ?

The more upbeat side of me is also wishing Kate and William well.

After all, most people manage to get through both a wedding — and subsequent married life — with ups and downs, but intact and lovingly as a couple, ’til the finish*.

So …

Ambiguous.

But good luck to ’em both.

I think the one thing that does sort of make me twitch about it … ?

Is the non-stop news coverage.

I think there’s only so much I can take, of reporters telling me about how many other reporters have turned up for the gig!

Oh, and poking their noses into tents …

Lets move on, shall we … ?

Before I get a chance to be really cynical … !
