Lift ones spirits with HM,s Platinum Jubilee and all that jazz even if not a Monarchist

[secrets22]

I have felt quite nonplussed about Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee until today,but i have suddenly bit the bullet and decided to celebrate with a Garden Party at my home for the local community,asking everyone to bring a plate to share together with their personal use beverage.

I have bunting and flags and no end of party assessories which i have salvaged from previous years,( yes we were party people) and entertained a great deal,but with the passing of my partner over 2 years ago i was in deep depression and had lost my mojo and a certain malaise set in,but suddenly i had a light bulb moment which told me i must get out of the poor me syndrome,and here i am and rarin to go.

What a great idea, and so lovely of you to organise it. I'm sure that so many will really appreciate it. And - more importantly - it's such an important step for you to take. I'm so pleased for you, that you feel ready to do this. Sorry - I hope you don't think I'm being patronising . I genuinely mean it 🤗

[Hidden in reply to MadBunny]

I think it's a great idea as well!

Oh that’s wonderful, I’m sure everyone will appreciate your beautiful garden , and a great step for you too, look forward to seeing lots of pics 👍

Good for you and go for it. You know what they say - if you can't beat them then join in and beat them at their own game. I am sure you and everyone will have a great time. Well done.

I will be avoiding it as much as possible as can't be doing with all that shite. I am no way a monarchist and object to them. A deserted island sounds good!

[secrets22 in reply to hypercat54]

no need to be rude just cause you dont like them.

[Arymretep in reply to secrets22]

I agree, could be worse, we could have President Putin 😳. I love the Queen . And I’m looking forward to celebrate her 70 years of service 👍

[MadBunny in reply to Arymretep]

So do I. I'm hoping to get up to London to have a look at the flowers in the moat at the Tower of London.

[Arymretep in reply to MadBunny]

Ooh lucky you, too far for me unfortunately 👎

[MadBunny in reply to Arymretep]

I think it's on until September so plenty of time. I'll take some photos. I must have a look to see what else is happening. I think I'll avoid London over the Jubilee weekend though as I still don't like being around large groups of people.

[Hidden in reply to MadBunny]

I went to the tower of London years ago and it was really interesting!

Im glad I took those opportunities when they were there!

How's Dylan getting on?

Baby is fine and looking forward to extra treats when I start work!

[MadBunny in reply to Hidden]

I last went back in 2013, not having been for over 20 yrs. There was a lot more to see than I remembered.Dyls fine - siesta time at the moment.

[Hidden in reply to MadBunny]

Dylan is spoilt the rabbit version of Baby!

[MadBunny in reply to Hidden]

Oh yes.

[Hidden in reply to hypercat54]

Im looking forward to having a couple of quiet days off on those days!

[Hidden]

That sounds great a garden party to look forward to!

How are you and the dogs getting on?

[secrets22 in reply to Hidden]

my wee 4 legged friends are my constants in this troubled world.x

[Midori]

Apparently, there is also a Barbie doll available.

Cheers, Midori

[Arymretep]

Yes, bring it on, we could do with cheering up 👍

[Hidden]

How are you and Prince Pixie getting on?

Im looking forward to starting my New job on Tuesday!

[Hidden]

If you are worried about being forgotten about a start date give them a ring and ask!

When I was rung about my start date we were in a noisy funfair when the phone went!

Today I have had a quiet day and a walk as I had a hectic day out at Barry island yesterday with a 6am start!

Baby is fine and looking forward to her usual Monday treat!

I am excited about Tuesday but I'm nervous as well.
