Erm, that's a FLASHBACK, not a dream...I had a dream last night that it was @Sheena 's wedding, he'd asked me to make a speech but I was so nervous I got really drunk. I woke up the next morning not knowing if I managed to make the speech or not![]()

We do have our Queenie cut out still from the jubilee weekend. I might stick her in the window with a black veil on.
Oh Mandy also doesn't want Queenie put outRead those two sentences back to yourself and spot the contradiction...
but I'm not sure what else to do with her. She cost us £50!I just went out and the world seems entirely normal.
I'm slightly disappointed to be honest. Apart from a translator messaging me this morning to say "Sorry for your loss" and me taking about 10 seconds to work out what he meant, everything is just a bit MEH.
I'd be amazed if there isn't some griping.I do wonder if the 10 days of mourning is a bit out of proportion with how the majority of the nation feels about the Monarchy?
It shouldn't really affect much really, outside of governement and other public bodies. The BBC might be a bit weird for a bit but I imagine the other channels will switch back to normal tomorrow until the funeral. Businesses can (and should) operate as normal.I do wonder if the 10 days of mourning is a bit out of proportion with how the majority of the nation feels about the Monarchy?
You could decorate her and put her out for Halloween as Zombie Queenie. The period of mourning will be over by then so it'll be really classy.Oh Mandy also doesn't want Queenie put outbut I'm not sure what else to do with her. She cost us £50!

Except Spoons. SHUT THEM ALL. PERMANENTLY!Pubs BETTER NOT SHUT!
I used to have a repertoire of tie knots when I used to wear one every day, and I now I can barely remember how to do ANY of themBugger, why do I always forget how to tie a Windsor (etc) knot and have to Google it every time?

It won't look tacky having her out?I would put her out for sure!
But perhaps not the veil...
Pubs BETTER NOT SHUT!

True. We do have some union jack flags left over so we will definitely have one out o. The day of the funeral.Course it will!
But there's going to be a lot worse

The huge Tour of Britain cycle race has been cancelled , understandably. But it was due to be on the island on Sunday and businesses and the council put a huge amount of money into it. So although I understand why it's been cancelled, I'm very sad for the island and the competitors![]()
The only one I can remember is that really simple one that is always lopsided. I feel a funeral requires symmetry.I used to have a repertoire of tie knots when I used to wear one every day, and I now I can barely remember how to do ANY of them
I need a DRESSER.
The black boxes on display is a move classy and subtle enough to compensate for a little cut out put out there.It won't look tacky having her out?
Ok. Black boxes will go out. With a Union Jack. I need to think about the cut out. She got a huge amount of attention for the jubilee weekend but everyone was laughing and joking and taking selfies with her. That would feel very wrong now.The black boxes on display is a move classy and subtle enough to compensate for a little cut out put out there.
She's in now6 Music is just playing chilled stuff and Mary Anne Hobbs doesn't seem to be in, so that's a WIN
but playing And Dream of Sheep

I'm finding the whole thing exhilarating actually

Lie her down on the fudge-making table...I need to think about the cut out. She got a huge amount of attention for the jubilee weekend but everyone was laughing and joking and taking selfies with her. That would feel very wrong now.

Noooo, with the black boxes behind it will look as if you've cut her to pieces.I'll make a make shift coffin![]()
