Blue skies and sunshine

 Heading out later to meet with mother and daughter because apparently it's my job to organise mother buying a pram for daughter.  O_o  Still, it will enable me to pick up some more bits for new baby at Smyth's :D

Husband and I made a start on the bundle yesterday - hooded towels, cute snowsuit, that sort of thing.

The Queen's funeral left me oddly unemotional.  I expected to feel SOMETHING.  I liked the Queen and I've cried at the funerals of people I didn't know at all!  Husband's view was that the crowds were kept so far back, it lost all atmosphere - which I think there's something in.  Of course, it must have been a security nightmare - the new King and almost ALL his heirs, plus all those heads of state...  There were some wonderful comedy moments, though - Boris being sent to the END of the line of former PMs and an Australian reporter confusing the current PM for a minor royal.  I also chatted to our curate who viewed it from a 'professional' pov :D and pointed out that, at its heart, it was a pretty normal CoE funeral.  So, in her death the Queen wanted to emphasise her 'ordinary humanity' - but all the pomp and ceremony got in the way.  Which is a shame.

Workwise, I've spent the last two weeks, and will also spend next week, switching heads almost every half-hour.  It's bad enough when it's Head A, Head B, Head C, etc.  But sometimes it's Head A, Head B, Head A :D :D :D  The first week of October is looking calmer, at least at the moment - and the plumber has finally given us a date for putting in the new toilet (7 Oct).

Oh, and the 'body shaping' exercise programme I'm following has got me back into two of my suits!  And I can fasten the pants on the other two - just can't sit down in them XD  So, I'm going to give it another month and see how I get on.  It doesn't involve calorie counting or weighing myself, so is much more my 'thing' than the weight loss programme.

OK, enough randomness - time to do my recovery exercises, then get ready for a day out.

Bye, DW!
