In the guardian today, the photographer Richard Chambury had the following photo published but what me chuckle was the description where he said the two ladies look like rap stars on an album cover - and every time I look it it I just think how true that is

Today's description in the Daily Mail of the Garden Party this Tuesday gone - Apparently the Queen left to the band playing "that's entertainment", Camilla was wearing a pale green outfit, and the Queen apparently had a quick bite of a cucumber sarnie.

Makes me wonder if the writer was actually there as I distinctly remember it was a selection of James Bond music, it was a gold/cream/browny kind of outfit and if the cucumber sarnies were the same as I had sampled then clearly the Queen is missing a few taste buds.


Hehehehe!

I was indeed at the Garden Party. It was a very enjoyable afternoon (even though it was wet for most of it). The Queen, who is much slimmer than the image you see on the telly, was actually smiling in a relaxed manner. The Duke being his usual cheeky self. Charles was instructing people on the best way to queue in the tea tent "simply run over there before anyone else catches on" and Camilla being her usual self on insisting to speak to as many people as possible and frustrating her escort by holding everything up. No I didnt speak to any of them (I'm still working on "those" circles) ;-)

The was really quite delightful - I can never understand why people complain the portions are so small as there's no limit as to how much or how frequent one piles onto the plate (from what I could figure out anyway).

To the ridiculously dressed small balding man - you think us women had silly hats? Quite clearly you've NEVER looked in a mirror! :))

Whether or not you're into the royals and all that it is still an exciting event and something not to be turned down if given the opportunity.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
