Launch day tomorrow
I cannot believe the moment has arrived when almost everything seems to be in place. The till arrives today and I can make that final tick on my list of missing items. That glorious moment that obsesses us list-makers, that goal to which we all aspire.
To celebrate the end of the list we have invited 14 tables of press. What will they be like, will they like our restaurant, our food, the candles in the loo and me - what if they hate my hair! I hate my hair. Not that I am paranoid but its a strange feeling to have created something you love and then invite a load of strangers in to criticize it (I really wish this blog did spellcheck - could it be critisize!).
Right, children to school, ice pack on Giancarlo’s foot (strange swelling occurring at such a vital moment - was not on my list), flowers to buy and then we are ready.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow!
