I will not be in front of a TV, in Westminster, the Mall or anywhere near the "wedding".


Weather permitting I intend to be walking sections 8 & 9 of The Capital Ring, a 75m linked circular walk around London that starts and finishes at Woolwich, with a picnic & book in my rucsac, returning home pleasantly tired to a warm bath and a glass of scotch.

I hope Scotland. Got an urge to go on the Caledonian sleeper and the West Highland steam railway, including that lovely viaduct (the one that the Hogwarts Express goes over in the Harry Potter films).


Aside from my personal lack of interest in the royal family, I find it obscene that any public money should be used for the wedding considering the scale of the public cuts (c.?20m on policing alone I gather - ?8m more than the budget for the BBC local radio service which may be axed, for example). Seems rather 'Let them eat cake' to me.

Apparently the police are getting double time because, guess what, it's a bank holiday...


Don't you bad mouth Scotland or Wales, either; at least they're spending it on something worthwhile.

Mr Twirly and I will be packing to go on our hols. I had hoped we'd actually be flying out around the time of the wedding, but the flight is in the evening as it transpires. I have to admit that I shall probably take a sneaky peek at the frock though, don't think I'll be able to resist.

    • Hi. I’d like a recommendation for a driving instructor please? Manual car. Ideally patient and not costing the earth.    thanks in advance 
    • I wonder if anyone can help.  My age 16 child has been forced to leave school due to prolonged ill health, onset after Covid.  It’s incredibly isolating and I was wondering if they are any local clubs (art perhaps) for her age group, or just meet ups in the area- perhaps other children out of school/ home educated who would be keen to meet.  Anything very active is out of the question- so sports wouldn’t be possible.  I’d be very interested in speaking to other parents in my position about how they manage.  
    • I inherited an electric awning.  It's fab in this extreme weather in my south facing garden. Canvas now decrepit and needs replacing.  Over stretched. Anyone done this - know of anyone who can do this? Advice much appreciated. K.
    • I think that presumption's a false one and that there's no such requirement.  If in doubt try asking 'Who can make a planning application?'   So it's firm evidence at most of just their belief that they might be  setting up shop there.  Putting in an early anticipatory application for their display signage, to lessen any dead time waiting for the permission, might well be a worthwhile expense.  They don't seem to have withdrawn the application, so are at least presumably still interested in taking over the premises.
