How to be a Republican on the 6th May

Hope you are all getting to your holiday escape destinations by horse and cart!

But if you had an invite, would you go?

KC3 is wearing his Admiral uniform if anyone cares. The crown is not in the Tower of London but is being altered!

We'll ignore it and carry on as usual.

Nothing, I love it, but my first idea was Scotland as a coronation free zone.

What’s wrong with Sicily?

Farzanah Sicily? Oh dear.

There will be in this part of Scotland!

Oh dear, can’t risk it! Sicily here we come.

I’ll be in Italy . They have their Liberation Day at the end of April and it is usually very good with bands and free food and wine in the village.

We have booked to fly to Portugal on 3rd May. So it will by-pass us.

Thank you

I just saw this on Twitter:

One way to find out if we want to keep the Monarchy in the UK is to get only the royalists to foot the bill for this coronation.

Now I like that. Resonates with Fleurpepper's thread about religion.

We’d already booked flights to Málaga. Serendipity. Although if at home we wouldn’t be tuned in. As it is, we hope to be in the communal gardens here, taking occasional dips in one of the pools.

As an aside, it’s Himself’s birthday on that date. He shares it with Tony Blair, who, at a year younger than Himself, will be 70y. I bet that spoilt Cherie’s plans for a big bash as they will be expected to attend poor things.

It only lasts a couple of hours. Plenty of time to toddle off to another beano.

I wish I was in Malaga and I can't believe Tony Blair will be 70!

I will watch the coronation ceremony for its historical significance and the concert may be interesting, depending on who performs - but the rest will pass me by. We don’t do street parties out here in the sticks and if there’s a do at the village hall I won’t be going. I’m hoping for good gardening weather. Bah humbug!

Do what the heck you like?
No skin off my or anybody else’s nose.

Head out to the countryside, the woods or the beach, or abroad- and make sure you don't switch on TV.

Take a leaf out of the younger members of my family.

They take zero interest in the monarchy, have zero knowledge of its members and their relationships.

They do know the Queen died and we have a new King😄, they will take advantage of the extended weekend and undoubtedly travel, or spend the weekend enjoying themselves.

But the monarchy means absolutely nothing to them, if it is ever brought up in conversation, they have nothing at all to contribute, and see them all as a waste of space.

when is it?

someone mentioned it at work last week and we have a day off? which is nice..

I'll be in my element, bonus Sunday, a lie in, all of the prep for the week ahead done the day before...

I'll probably spend it with my children either online or in person playing games and having a laugh

I used “bread and circuses” in the sense that life needs both, not in its original context.

I’m happy not be a cynical sourpuss. I’m not particularly a fan of Charles, and certainly not of Camilla, but I rather enjoy a national jamboree.

I want one.

Just stay off the beaches up here. I'm hoping it will be sunny and they will be empty

Ach, another opportunity missed.
