I couldn’t agree more, Maw. Dwelling on the past, as opposed to occasional reminiscences, is quite depressing.

The last 10 days have been undeniably highly unusual and our attention has seemingly been taken up with all the ramifications of the death of the Queen, the RF, the pageantry of the funeral etc.
But some strange discussions or disagreements also surfaced - hanging washing out or not on the day of a funeral, drawing the curtains, mourning customs, the inevitable anti-monarchy rants etc etc etc.
I’m not saying we should not have opinions or sometimes reminisce about times gone by, but won’t it be good to look forwards instead of all the nostalgia some of which has struck me as more than a bit outdated? (I frankly don’t feel old enough for some of the attitudes I have encountered in some posts! )
Let’s not dwell on the past - how about now ?
