Good afternooning all.
I did lots more gardening yesterday and then we decided to go to London.
As we were in the area, I decided some photos of Buckingham Palace were needed for the CDR postcard collection.
The Queen wasn’t in so the Union Flag was flying from the Palace flag pole rather than the Royal Standard.
They were clearing up after a 10km road race so that’s what the barriers and trucks in the pics are about
The Victoria Memorial at the front of the palace
Looking down The Mall towards Admiralty Arch
A Gurkha on guard duty. The Gurkhas are a Nepalese regiment in the British Army. So we don’t always have the traditional red jacket and bearskin hatted guards on duty
And a view through the trees across St James’ Park from the Palace.

And today, I finally... drum roll .... did the ironing!
I have also spent quite a lot of time sorting out JoesDad’s laptop and watching tennis.
My absences are most likely tennis related for the next few weeks. Roland-Garros, the French Open, has started.
Apart from Thursday when cricket [emoji967] becomes important. The opening match of the Cricket World Cup is on Thursday at the Oval Cricket Ground in London and the match is... England v South Africa. Carol and I will have to agree to disagree [emoji6][emoji23]

I can't imagine living in such a large house. I'll bet there are parts to that mansion that she's (the queen) never seen! Last night I watched her coronation on cable. Then after that they had an hour about the castle. Elizabeth's coronation was the first one that was ever filmed. All the pomp and circumstance!!! She was an awfully pretty lady in her youth. And the carriage!! OMG! It was made with lots of real gold and was so heavy there were many, many pairs of horses to pull it. Both TV shows were quite interesting.
I have seen that carriage. We did a tour of the mews where the carriages are kept a few years ago. It is amazing... but doesn’t have good suspension, apparently, so the ride isn’t that comfortable.
I would love to be able to explore the palace and the park! Beautiful!
In last night's show the queen was watching the coronation with us and commented on the rough ride. It seems the carriage is supported by leather straps.
I'll try. Arrow is just so pretty and I can't show him off in a picture. Joesmum is encouraging a video monster too.
I was being facetious, Cathy! Carol accidentally posted her reply three times
I'm going to try but there's talking going on from utube on during the video. I'm just afraid of copyright laws even though the words fit right in my video perfectly.
I've been there done that too and still do...My grandson had to show me the enter button before I could learn how to post my reply on Facebook.
Yep they watch you. I was afraid when I got him on the newspaper that he would take off flying in the house. I was blessed with a good laugh on myself all day...Well this one was right next to me near my bed, so I decided to take a pic for you. The thing is that while I was watching it, I am absolutely sure that it was watching me, (we were sussing each other out) But as soon as I tried taking a close up picture it immediately moved. I found it quite funny actually.
Awesome post cards.
You will have to tell me how it goes, as I don't have the sports channel anymore.
I did? I only saw it appear once. Wierd!!
All you need to do when you upload it is to make it private. Then only those you share the link with can see it.
Welllllll.... hubby’s relief had trouble with his flight so now hubby doesn’t get to leave until in the morning :-(.
I got a camera on the eggs though so we should get notifications when something starts happening... the original hatch date was estimated tomorrow afternoon but with the power outage, it could drag out until Friday I suppose... one thing is certain, if they are not turkeys, they still have at least a 28 day incubation time)
