pensnestWell, I think that was the best royal wedding ever. So much more fun than the usual style! And the most beautiful royal bride I've seen. Possibly my favourite moment was the bride's entry into the church—the small boy holding the veil behind her gaped with joy as the trumpet fanfare started. *So* adorable.
Also, Zoe! Zoe! I mean, Gina Torres. Looking fabulous. Amal Clooney, Countess Spencer, Lady Kitty Spencer, Serena Williams, looking fabulous. Idris Elba, looking like Idris Elba. I was actually out in the morning so I recorded it and watched it after I'd constructed this week's newsletter, which meant I could fast-forward through all the bits that weren't "looking at guests in fabulous outfits" which worked well for me.
It occurs to me, though, that 'Prince Harry marries mixed-race divorced American actress' is simply not real life. It's fanfic. Seriously. Royal People Fic. What is happening?

FIL was obviously of the harumph school when he discovered to his shock! horror! that the royal bride was of mixed race. He did not voice his sentiments to me, which indicates that he still has the capacity to learn, even at 93. Otherwise, he is doing pretty well, and has been (a) digging out the considerable weeds in his fruit cage and (b) wearing his alarm pendant while doing so. He had lunch with us today and was fine.

Sable has begun to set an occasional toe outside the back door, which she is more willing to do if Fluffy will collect and escort her. No more thefts from the kitchen bin, but Princess Fluffykins captured an early mouse a few days ago and brought it inside, after which both cats forgot about it and we had to entrap it in a mixing bowl and take it outside. The cats are not quite understanding their job description, methinks.

Camp! In less than a month!
