Jo came rushing in to work today, glowing with excitement, an engagement ring on her finger. She said she and Martyn are going to get married in September. It’s not a terribly good idea, of course. (See previous posts – esp ones listed ‘weird sex’.) But of course I said how wonderful!, And how exciting!
Somehow I don’t think Jo is going to be much use to the office from now on: she’s already started looking up wedding-dresses on the internet. On the plus side she said she was going to try out a whole range of different chocolate-cake recipes on us before she decides on the right one for the wedding. (It’s going to be chocolate, of course – with white frosting. And chocolate sauce on the side.) Oh, and I’m going to be a bridesmaid, because I was so kind to her when she fell out with Martyn, and also because she ‘doesn’t have that many friends’.
I do hope the bridesmaid dress won’t be
1) Too tight
2) Ridiculous, and lemon or mauve (Or all three).
3) Heavily frilled
4) Oh, and I’ve just discovered that ‘stressed’ is ‘desserts’ spelled backwards, which explains a lot about Jo, I think. And me.
