Something a little different this week. Today, I was supposed to be attending the wedding of a lovely couple who had finally got around to doing the deed. Then along came coronavirus...
This is dedicated to couples everywhere whose plans have been similarly sent sideways.

How in the world did it come to this?
It wasn't meant to be
Instead of a wedding sealed with a kiss
There's only you and me
The party's cancelled, the band's left town
The guests have all stayed at home
We're left to party with no one around
So we'll celebrate on our own
It might be June, but it's pouring with rain
These empty glasses should be filled with wine
We're standing on the platform, having missed the train,
Don't worry, it'll all be fine.
Standing outside of our house by the sea,
Wondering what we did wrong
But look at the stars, what will be will be
It'll all be right before long
And there's always tomorrow, as you've always said
For all the things we planned
We still have each other, and the kids are in bed
So come on now, take my hand
It might be June, but it's pouring with rain
These empty glasses should be filled with wine
We're standing on the platform, having missed the train,
Don't worry, it'll work out fine.

They're lyrics to a song, of course. And here we are, a bit rough and ready for any number of reasons but particularly the haste, so I hope you'll make allowances. You'll get the idea, at any rate. Thanks to my wife Katherine for the impromptu backing vocals – GL
