Post 473. ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS

WE STILL DO WELL

WAS WELL DONE.
It was all there for the coronation of King Charles III. All the dressed up top toffs in horse-drawn coaches, followed by their posh kith and kin in large, expensive, cars of colour (you don't call anything black now, do you?), surrounded by marching, or impressively mounted, members of the various services, watched by a suitably distanced and mostly friendly public  It was one of the handful of things we have left in this country that we still do well. It was well done. Now it's over. Red Arrows flown. Horses stabled. Limousines garaged. Harry off home. Stand easy!
I really didn't know whether I could be bothered but did, of course, finish up watching it with Mo. Despite constant reminders that it was a much shortened version of the late Queen's coronation in 1953, I thought it went on a bit, and reading everything off cards made it look as though we're managed by robots: but witness PMs Question Time and you realise we undoubtedly are.. 

Not much more to say right now. Have heard today that a certain pain-in-the-arse acolyte of a former pain-in-the-arse US President is thinking of bullshitting his way back into politics here: and there are  many twisted minds who would support him. I can only think of two words to say to the lot of them and the second one is 'off.' Oh, I think his name rhymes with garage.
Have my painting gear set up ready to go but have not so much as picked up a brush. 

Perhaps it is time I seriously put my mind to it.
Nothing ventured...as the would-be-returned politician might say..
Away with pomp

Until next time
