So here I am, in a lovely hotel room, the night before the wedding of two very dear friends, and of course I can’t sleep…<\/p>\n
Since my brother’s wedding 3 weeks ago I am feeling a lot more positive about attending weddings; I’ll be honest they had filled me with apprehension since I was left, very suddenly __not__ getting married when I’d rather thought that I’d got all of this stuff sorted out. Nonetheless, despite my continued singledom I am starting to feel a little more at ease with my own life, and I have to say I am excited about tomorrow (or should I say later today), if for no other reason than the two people who are getting married are very dear to me.<\/p>\n
Bunny (or more properly, Clare) has been a collaborator, muse, friend and support through some of the most tumultuous times of my recent past, and her fianc\u00e9 Steve has likewise been a good friend, confidant and sounding board. Not only that, but both of them have been tremendous fun, and that is a gift beyond measure in its own right.<\/p>\n
So why can’t I sleep..?<\/p>\n
Well, the truth is that I have no idea, so I’m going to nip out for some late-night fresh air and then have another go… I’ve just killed about an hour making a considered and much edited (due to size constraints) response to a series of comments I’d received on a photography forum, having raised a contentious issue… Bluntly, I am saddened by how conservative and parochial my fellow creators can be, but I did not put it quite like that \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
