Fragile Do Not Bend
Afternoon. Annoying about your car ITG :(

I had my first go at urban orienteering this morning. They don’t do urban ones very often, mostly they are off road. I enjoyed it as the navigation is a lot easier than in a woodland and thankfully the forecast rain didn’t materialise. It was very windy though and I had to try hard to hang onto the map at times :)

And what about Camilla if Charles dies first? She isn't Kingmother and I've never heard of a dowager King Consort (though maybe it is a thing) or Kingstepmother.


Queen Mary outlived her husband George V and I think she was just referred to as Queen Mary. George VI’s wife would have been referred to as The Queen or Queen Elizabeth.

Well done LD, I think you'll have enjoyed you day much more by taking that decision than trying to get to the end.

Hugs for ITG, good news on your mum.

LG, hugs and hope son and DIL recover soon.

LD, perfect attitude. Well done for cheering everyone home. You really are rather wonderful.

I don't really care a lot about the royal family, I think Grayson Perry should be king.

I ran 9 miles in the wind and rain. Slower than usual but very consistent pace and I rather enjoyed it. Got my kit spot on which made things easier.

Wouldn’t Camila be the Dowager [whatever title they give her]? I forget whether she would or wouldn’t be Queen if Charlie ever becomes King, not that I care very much.

I got out for 11 very hilly miles with the club. Quite pleased with myself for keeping up, though I did stuff up on kit choice with getting ready in howling gale & pouring rain but running mostly in sunshine so I was very overdressed.

Now welded to sofa with cat to watch the figure skating. It appears to be in the rules this year that all women must wear dip-dyed purple so I’m having difficulty telling them apart.

I think she would be Dowager Duchess of Cornwall but such etiquette not my strong point!
We've made a start on going through the loft contents.

Good decision, Daisy, and I'm glad you're not disappointed but on the other hand taking it so positively.
Hope your car situation improves, ITG.

Just over 3 miles run in Lots of Weather, - wind, high wind, drizzle, squally rain, and a lovely bright rainbow though it only lasted a couple of minutes.

I have no real interest in the royal family, but would prefer to keep the monarchy rather than have a president.
