Coverage here has not stopped anyone would think nothing else is happening in the world  :ShakeHead:


It is interesting they have been making a big fuss about rough sleepers in Winsor all year but tonight they are going out of their way to get thousands more  :Doh: I hear they have brought in a special double decker bus for rough sleepers but I cannot see the 8 bunk beds going far. My colleague was offering out his 'spare' flat in Winsor earlier in case anyone felt the need, he was planning to be miles and miles away  ;)

They did the same thing here last year with the total solar eclipse; couldn’t find a room anywhere and people were renting out their homes. Hope the marriage lasts longer than the eclipse  :LittleDevil: :lolb:

Well, my wife Tivoed the wedding and we'll be watching it tonight.  We've been watching wedding prep all week.  I need to do what I can for her.  She has bought me all the shop tools I want and need.  If watching the wedding makes her happy, it makes me happy.  You guys just whine too much!  :Jester: It's all about fun! :)

No, we weren't invited.  Probably for the best.  I doubt my wife would have an appropriate hat!   ;)

Has Linda finished gardening yet... careful she might have chores lined up for you  ::)

Gardening was good another two trees cut, chopped and stored  :) It was really weird very quiet most of the day -except when I was using my chain saw about mid day  :mischief:   I guess everyone had headed off to the beach

It was odd my father turned up today with a bottle of nice Champagne for me and said my Mum had brought it for me because she thought I might want something to celebrate with  :noidea: Surus has suggested that I should celebrate being given the bottle of Champagne  :ThumbsUp:  :wine1:

Had to laugh at some of the TV coverage. Not sure our British friends quite knew what to do with the gospel choir and the evangelical bishop's homily. Certain society ladies were caught on the television coverage with their mouths wide open. Good on Megan for bringing the monarchy into the 21st century.

I don't think I've ever seen such a sloppy track for the Preakness.  But that pony Justify just seems to get it done, regardless.
