Wedding Planning Or Work? (clue: Work Later)

Time­keep­ing is impor­tant. I’m crap at it: only this week did I realize my email sub­scrip­tions were land­ing at 3am!!! (thanks to Chris Han­ley, who very politely men­tioned his iPhone beep­ing in the early hours every day… Chris I do hope you got up to read my updates!) — and that’s just the start of my organ­i­sa­tional problems.

Another exam­ple would be Fri­day after­noons: you know when it’s nearly the week­end and you just can’t be both­ered fin­ish­ing work you could do on Mon­day morn­ing? That’s what I do. But then again… a lit­tle break, a breather, ten min­utes of wed­ding plan­ning instead of work… can’t do us any harm, can it? It might do us good: fire our cre­ativ­ity, perhaps.

Time for a bit of wed­ding­ness for our Fri­day after­noon treat! Enjoy, everyone!
