Morning everybody, welcome along. It's Thursday. It's the 17th of May. It's blooming freezing.

I can't tell you. I walked out this. I seriously thought I was back about two months.

I brought my coat in today. Yes, I didn't bring the coat in, nearly caught pneumonia.

Went to the hospital, as you know, thinking I was having a preliminary chat about the cataracts. It was nothing to do with that at all. This was a glaucoma test. And I waited an hour. I had a little sort of thing, you know, can you read the numbers? No. Can you read the letters? What letters? And so we did that bit. And then I waited another 55 minutes and then got seen, took about five minutes, put some drops in my eyes, which stung. And then he said, you've got cataracts. I said, I know. I could tell you that. And so he said, I'll see you in six months' time after they sort of did all bits and pieces. So in next week for the cataracts. And they said they might see you beforehand, but I don't think so, and if something's going to happen. Anyway, Meg, the wedding. Sorry to go back to the wedding again. But all the newspapers, and in fact, we're even

running on our news, they're asking the questions, why is Harry not met his father-in-law? I mean,

how can you marry somebody's daughter and not meet the father-in-law? Especially as they've been

over there, they've been to America, and yet studiously avoided him. But you know my

comments on that? There were loads of other questions. Hardly any of Harry's family. The people he grew up

with aren't invited. You don't think she said to him, we don't need these people, honey. We just need

ourselves. Let's forge our own friends. And he's gone, you're okay, that'll be fine. Because they don't seem to have invited half the people that they should have done. And yet Elton John and the Beckams have gone. Oh dear, you don't think it's people believing in their own publicity. Like, you know, I'm sort of Harry. I'm like this. You know, because I don't know. I don't know. But interestingly enough, she's only invited two members of her family.

And can you answer me this question, which I posed earlier on.

Why is the mother only just arrived?

Three days to the wedding, and her mother only just turns up.

And you think, so the father, the baloney they were giving you there,

he's come through major heart surgery, He's had some stents put in.

And they were going, he's coherent.

You can talk all the way through it.

They don't sedate you.

They just give you an injection to numb your arm.

God, honestly, the cobblers you've read in the papers.

Anyway, her former co-stars, Gabrielle Macht and Rick Hoffman, apparently are heading to London.
