I know of three people who are leaving the country for long weekends to escape all this malarkey. How busy will the cross Channel ferries be, I wonder?

I'm loving it, it contains elements that were present in the crowning of Saxon kings in the 700s and earlier, what's not to like for anyone interested in history?

Going for a long swim and then back to eat cakes with my neighbours. My street looks like a loyalist enclave in Derry with the flags on full strength. Me and my immediate neighbour being the exception. Based on the platinum event there won't be any mention of the Royals beyond the fact 5' images are festooned over windows.
My 20 litres of prime homebrew IPA still seems to be bubbling so will only have 3 litres of dark brew plus a magnum of Rioja in reserve.
I can't cope with London buses (always get lost) but that walk isn't too long and it'll save a few quid, cheers
This was my plan. The pub I was / am going to might have it on the TV but the sound will be down. They've been allowed to close the road. However, it's pissing down and I'm not sure I want to effectively sit in the street drinking in the rain...

TV is on so Auntie Dot can watch, when she's awake. Currently living with us and having end of life care, slow process.

A mate just texted me to say that some kids had run into the road in front of sausage fingers carriage. He said they were playing Coronation Chicken.

There is a party planned in my street but its pissing down, can't imagine anyone will go. Wife is watching on the telly, she seems to be well into it. I've had a covid jab and a bath, then I'm off to band practice. Should be easy not to notice it unless there are twats on the tube. I'm pretty sure it's not the sort of thing piss heads are into.

Was the sprout part of the set of Christmas dinner toys ? Ours didn't last more than a day.

would have thought underground at london bridge won't be too bad - victoria might be busy, as the crowds of loyal flag waving types will be in the westminster / victoria area and they may need to stop people going down the underground at victoria if the platforms get too crowded.
if you're going to do thameslink to st pancakes, be aware that you need to have a ticket that's valid to there. a 'london terminals' ticket from south of the river does not mean 'any london terminal station' it means 'any london terminal station that was on the southern region before thameslink existed' - i think it will take you as far as city thameslink (there used to be a ground level station called holborn viaduct about there) but no further north than that.
(just realised you may be on the way by now. have fun...)

I watched a wee bit. He was stood there being handed more and more ceremonial objects (E.g. the gold cloak of bullshit, the sword of Damocles, the bracelet of belligerence, etc.) and it was like an upmarket version of “Double or Drop”. I was expecting a gold cabbage to appear any second..

Proper break this time
The sword of damacles, handed to him by Penny Mordaunt no less. She gets to hold on to it for him or some shit? Seems dangerous. I watched that bit, it was fully daft but the Greek chant was good.

Chaz has had another rant to join the pens helpfully lip-read from CNN.

Scum.
I seem to remember Ma'am protesters (inc. a former poster) getting nicked on a bus they'd hired and driven away from whichever jubilee nonsense they were protesting - and then getting a pay out. Don't know which bit of public order legislation this was done under, but I wonder if there'll be a similar pay out somewhere down the line?

My main strategy was staying in bed till dinner. After that, in desperation I watched a rerun of England v Cameroon from the 1990 world cup (oh my, England were lucky that night). Might go for a wander now. Not exactly a high octane anarcho-response, I have to admit.

Cheers. Despite her dementia, hoping she still understands what's going on. As wifey said, when she's gone it really will be the end of an era. Still hoping she makes it to her 89th birthday on the 22nd of this month. We've enjoyed having her with us these past couple of years.

Me and Lilith cuddled up together in the dry, like sensible people.

Invited as part of a list of outstanding Australians, apparently.
