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

Note; If anyone gets to borrow /steal/ buy this set........pleeeease can I see it, even a glimpse?

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.

    • Really? Yes you are probably right as I know from personal experience with Guys… as I claiming travel costs back, that no one told me I could claim! Left hand does not know what right hand is doing regarding admin..  If they charged people for wasting overstretched staff in A& E as in not urgent just might deter people from wasting precious time…. But then you need interpreters, to explain if language is a barrier and admin staff to administer..  Correct me if I am wrong but is there not a train from Denmark Hill or East Dulwich which goes to London Bridge? Would be faster than 2 buses I would have thought.    Oh, forgot about Tessa Jowell but thought you needed GP referral in which case, that would be the place to go rather than a bigger hospital. Know there is one in Beckenham and you can call and they will give you an idea as to wait time…..same I hope at TJ…assuming they answer phone.. If one really things about it…too many  people in London for example and to few hospitals…    
    • I don’t think it’s licensed for Sundays. It is licences for Fridays, but there hasn’t been anyone there on a Friday for years. So I doubt it. i think there’s a market at the Horniman on Sundays. Also pretty sure there’s one outside Herve Hill station on a Sunday.
    • I believe there is a minor injuries department at Guys, though I may have misremembered. Not very convenient for SE22 now the 40 no longer goes near. You have to get 2 buses or a train. Charging people (not sure if you mean financially or legally) would waste a lot more time, I would have thought? And  a bad bruise could be serious, depending on the cause and possibly other symptoms.
