I woke up at 6.00 this morning probably because that's around the time Peter usually brings me some tea. But he's taken today off so I crept out of bed to finish decorating the cupcakes and left Peter to have a well deserved sleep. By 9.15 I had made ganache and decorated 4 dozen cupcakes, made some labels from the left over cake dowels and tidied everything up.
Later on a friend of Peter's who works for a window company, came round and together they repaired the window in a spare room. Something had gone wrong with the hinge mechanism and it couldn't be shut properly. Not a lot of fun for anyone sleeping in that room during the winter. While that was going on I made myself some hair decorations from red fabric roses the same colour as my bolero top. Last night I sat and watched a number of videos getting ideas on what to do with my hair. I decided on a loose fish-tail plait to the side so that I can wear a fascinator. I had my eye on one the other day and bought it when I went into town today.
With my preparations on schedule I took myself off to town for a pampering treat of a pedicure and nail polish. It's the first time I've had one and when I got there they asked if I had brought a pair of flip-flops as the polish would need an hour to dry. Luckily I'd bought an all-day parking ticket so time wasn't an issue. The pedicure lasted an hour and was very relaxing. Also I had an new listener for all my wedding talk (Peter tries not to glaze over when I go over every detail for the n'th time). The beautician was a pleasant young girl and I did enjoy the pampering. The chair was one of those that can give you a massage so while I waited for my nails to dry I had a lovely massage. I allowed myself this expensive treat as apart from the fascinator I haven't spent very much. My bolero and handbag were from charity shops and the red trainers were in sale. Even if I had buckets of money I wouldn't change anything. It's more fun customising things anyway.
