This does NOT belong to me. Honest. |
The other-half and I strolled into town again today and met
up with big sis, nephew and wife to mooch around shops and have lunch. All of which was very jolly even if now, a
few hours later, my lunch is repeating on me (hmmm salami sandwich, the gift that keeps
on giving).
All this recent activity has been great but a bit knackering. So I have returned home to spend the afternoon
(and probably evening) stretched out on the sofa with the cat. The other-half has gone to visit friends in
Bridgnorth. (Sorry I couldn’t make it
for further trumping conversations, but I’m truly shattered).
Anyway, I flopped onto the sofa turned on the TV and found
that the film ‘Cromwell’ was on. I know
it’s historically inaccurate. I know it’s
a bit iffy (to say the very least) to show it on St Patrick’s Day (given Cromwell’s behaviour in Ireland). But I do love this film. It’s a good thing the other-half is out as I
can relish the film (and defeat of the monarchy) in peace without him (being a complete royalist) ruining it for me.
As you can probably imagine the solar-powered waving plastic
queen (yes, really), pictured above, belongs to the other-half not me. He is threatening to display it in our front
window during the Diamond Jubilee, whereas I will, of course, be constructing a
guillotine in the back garden.
from a distance it looks like queenie is giving 'the finger'. Are you sure she's waving?
ReplyDeleteHadn't noticed but you're absolutely right! I'd like to say I planned it and took the picture that way on purpose but it's a happy accident. I bet she doesn't do that for real on jubilee day.
DeleteYes she is definitely giving the finger to all her loyal subjects!....yes I watched Cromwell as well great film, Alec Guiness was brilliant as an aloof scheming King
DeleteWell that's royalty for you isn't it!
DeleteThe other-half has just seen this post and says I'm guilty of treason.
Deleteoff with your head x
