Yesterday morning, we had an enjoyable walk in the park, quite early.  We returned home and had breakfast, then I spent a couple of hours attacking the house and getting it straight.  Went upstairs for a shower, then came down to watch the river pageant on TV and do some cross-stitching.  The event itself was marvellous, but the BBC's coverage was simply dreadful.  Z list celebs, nauseating nonsense, artificially jolly presenters, and a real lack of knowledge or interest in the subject.  Shame on the BBC for this - for so long they have been the default broadcaster for these big occasions but after this - not so.  One thing that was genuinely touching about the event was the real pleasure and excitement on the face of the Queen - she looked so delighted.  Also, hats off to her and the Duke of Edinburgh for standing during the procession - several hours in the cold and wet - more than I would have managed, yet she is 86 and he is 91.  Impressive.  

Had a relaxing evening watching some TV. 

Andrew is off this week and it is lovely to have him home.  We walked the dogs this morning, and had a little sunshine, but it's getting colder, greyer and chillier as I write and the sky looks like rain is imminent. 

Andrew is busy working on a website - I'll do a separate post about this.  Time for the big reveal, I think!
