THE LADY IN WAITING starts my 10-minute round-up of the Irish Sunday papers this week as Camilla Long reports on how Kate Middleton has done her training, stopped partying and cleared her diary. All that's left is waiting. I used my SonyEricsson Xperia X10 to record this week's Qik clip, then discovered its audio recording is much better than the Nokia set-up I normally use. So I shoveled the audio over to Audioboo and hope it appeals to regular listeners over there.
Citations to several main topics appear after the break.
