Thank you Charles (What did you do today if you didn't watch?)?)

It has been tipping with rain all day. What was the alternative to watching tv?

There is a local park that we started going to in lockdown and have used it for every royal event since. It was a lovely day (North here too) my dog had a lovely time in the dog run, watching him run and play with another dog made me smile. So yes thanks Charles .

I've done some work admin and emails. I've got the coronation on, but am dipping in and out, and watching the more interesting bits. My work will ramp up in a week or so, so I'm preparing the ground - setting up folders and filing background documents in readiness.

I was out to lunch with my son and GC but here in Gibraltar they are waving the flag big time, huge screen playing BBC coverage and after we'd sat down for lunch realised it was also being shown on their large tv. I was asked by a local gentleman if i found it emotional!! NO not one bit. I did explain the actual crowning to the children but they were only mildly intetested.

Watching but have issue with some of the things said ...

"we see active love in the care of our most vulnerable"

"that you be a brave advocate for those in need"

"deliver the children of the needy and crush the oppressor"

Many of our disabled, including myself, went all inter with no heating as we couldn't afford it! The 'oppressor' is our current Govt who care not one damn about the vulnerable and needy. A great spectacle which will have done the tourism industry good, but ....

I saw the last one. Well some of it! Seem to remember I got bored and went to sit in the porch and play with the coronation ball I'd been given. It was too wet to go out. There were tins of toffees and biscuits being passed around by the family who had gathered around our (very new) TV.

I cleaned the inside of my car and had a vacuum around the house. Now cooking lunch and doing some prep for tonight's dinner. Sunny and happy here in Northumberland.

I worked all morning. 3 students, 3 lessons. I hadn't intended to work this Saturday, needing one off for once, but... needs must.

It's nice and sunny here so I might put the washing out now.

Cleaning the windows and vacuuming the bedrooms, just stopped for a cuppa. Will potter in the garden later.
My first and probably last coronation, but I’ve no interest in it.
I did put the tv on and caught sight of Johnny Thompson - now that made the day!
