we're off tonight

To spend the weekend with Mr McMuffin Jnr and the Beau. There will be lots of eating, drinking (am opting out as I love my liver more and more the closer I get to 40) and fun watching the Beau perform in a musical. As a former West End dancer, I'm sure he will be very good, but modest as he is he maintains the cast are his equals or better, so we should be in for a treat.

As I have decided to shy from controversy I shall not write about how sad it makes me that this lovely couple can't get married. In time they'll get a civil union if they want, but we shan't think about how discriminatory it is to exclude an adult, unrelated couple in sound mind from marriage. We shan't think back to TEFLSmiler's post on Canada's positive attitude to equal rights issues and wish that we could follow in their footsteps.

My next post will return to the matters of Slinky, cleaning and how much I hate my job, as these have been rather neglected recently. Have a lovely weekend.
