Well for me the week was summed up by a picture on facebook…it just says it all. Let’s just hope the hat was buried at sea as well!

I must say I did love it all, the pageantry, the spectacle and best of all ABC had the BBC commentary and it was as if I was at home in Edinburgh! There was Hugh Edwards, and Sophie and oh look there’s Elton John and how awful the Duchess of Kent is looking, and poor Camilla, she looks so agitated and unhappy. John remained glued to his crossword, as I prattled on, but he awoke and rose up like a phoenix at the sight of a rather gorgeous bridesmaid!

Look at this one…HA HA!

Had to giggle at this picture too….there’s always someone trying to get in to a good photo!

Over on the other Australian channel, Dame Edna Everidge was adding her gossipy girly take on the scene. I had to laugh out loud as she gasped in anticipation when Mrs Middleton made her appearance, ‘Aaah, it’s all right possums, we can all relax now, for here she comes in her neat little suit, ready to show us the emergency exits to the abbey!’

So, sadly it’s all over, morning TV has nothing else to speculate on, and we are just back to the local news, of murders and killings.

My news coincided with the Royals Big Day, as my Gerry and Cathal are to be wed next year. They want a winter wedding, possibly in Feb or March, so there will be no speculating on what I shall wear. I shall invest in a kilt, olive green ‘twin set and pearls’ and some sensible brown shoes. Of course I shall also wear my Russian white fox-fur hat. I have no plans of being cold! It’s all right for these brides in their long gowns! By the way the dog in the picture belonged to the photographer!

Otherwise little to report…walks along the beach sighting pelicans surfing on the waves.

They are so cool. Last night we walked out along the jetty and talked to a young Singaporean medical student who was fishing. He showed me Orion, his sword, his belt, his arm that had fallen into the sea because his constellation was so low in the sky. And apparently if I wanted, I could have got up this morning and viewed the planets aligned in the sky. It was all very uplifting.
