Today, after G went off to work, I had a long and lazy bath, did some washing up, browsed the web fruitlessly for a particular type of garment I want to wear at the wedding, did some laundry, caught up on the email, usenet and lj that had accumulated over the weekend, went shopping to Co-op, Londis and Al-amin's, made a vegetarian bolognaise, made a Queen of Puddings pudding and made houmous. (The Queen of Puddings was G's idea; it was very nice, though I suspect most people I know couldn't eat it, due to it containing dairy products, wheat products, or too many calories.)
G is now playing GTA3 and I am feeling very sleepy (not quite caught up after the weekend). Tomorrow I shall write some more web pages in my massive ongoing project on Indo-European. (I keep discovering that random people have linked to my pages, with short reviews; it's mildly disturbing.)

what are you looking for for the wedding? I know a number of good clothing sites I could point you at, if it'd be helpful.

I want a reasonably A-line long white satin skirt, perhaps with black embroidery at the bottom. I can find any number of white satin dresses, but I just want a skirt; I have the top sorted. Any ideas?

How's this one, they do it in white satin amongst other things. Might be a bit expensive and OTT for you though, and it's not plain A-line, almost bustle-like at the back:

They've got a shop opening in Camden this month if you wanted to go see if they had one you could look at in person. Monsoon is quite possibly worth trying, they dos eom gorgeous ballgown-style skirts which might be appropriate, don't think they do online shopping though. Quite a lot of bridal outfits these days are skirt/bodice combinations even if they look like dresses, so it's probably worth checking.

Thanks lnr - I actually found that skirt yesterday when I was browsing, and it's very close to what I had in mind. As you say, though, it is rather costly. I might indeed try going to their shop at some point, maybe trying one on if possible.
I'll look into Monsoon as well - thank you!
