Diana: unmade bed.

 _. Out of bed at 6:30.  Ally looked ghastly but insisted on going into work only to come home and to bed at 10:45. ___________.
Royal wedding round up: some comments in the office. Sarah, a follower of fashion if ever there was one, has no good word to say about the fashions yesterday. Lady Diana 'looked like an unmade bed' in her 'tatty', 'creased', 'crumpled' gown, with a 'hideous veil'. Surely, taffeta is supposed to look crumpled? It didn't end there. Diana's hair was 'like a wet rag'. My dear, sick wife, in Diana's defence, says she looked 'exquisite', and that my work colleagues are nothing but jealous. The Prince and Princess of Wales, we are told, spent the day fishing in the River Test and walking 'hand in hand' in the sprawling grounds of the Broadlands estate.

This evening Ally came downstairs only briefly. She looked horrible.
