I was in bed for most of the day yesterday. We’d had an incredibly hard and busy shift Saturday night and so I slept heavily and long, despite being woken by the dogs baying at someone at the door in the afternoon. My visitor was Nick from the TCA who dropped off some of the Coronation cake made by bouncy Bridget . I missed his knock but soon spied a parcel of cake wrapped in silver paper plonked on top of my wall basket.
It was bloody lovely too with a hot cup of tea.
But I was soon snoring away the rest of the afternoon so missed any post-mortem from the Coronation afternoon tea which looked impressive on line and which probably tasted even better in the flesh
The Eurovision night next Saturday will be a much bawdier affair me thinks.
Me hopes so.
So, Trelawnyd life plods along at its own pace. King Charles has his crown and I suspect he shouts and laughs with Camilla loudly and long.
Eurovision is the next altar to pray at. Then it’s summer
I shall try to watch Eurovision, although it's not the same without Wogan.
ReplyDeleteNo , and I must admit , I always followed it because of him, but Mel Gedroich is funny too as is Graham Norton
DeleteA very tempting choice of cakes there! Shame you missed it but nice of Nick to drop off a taste.
ReplyDeleteI hope the newly crowned King and Queen can relax and enjoy themselves now all the formalities are over. The ceremony itself must have been daunting at his age.
He looked tired, but from what I saw of him at the concert he did look relaxed.
DeleteWhereas camilla just looked fucked lol
Eurovision is my highlight of the year. Never ceases to entertain and madden, usually in roughly equal measure. This year looks especially promising. So, bottoms up!
ReplyDeleteRaymondo , I always love your detailed reviews . Forensic and entertaining xx
DeleteI can't remember the last time I watched Eurovision. Waterloo rings a bell.
ReplyDelete1974 then x
DeleteSummer!..it hardly feels like we have had Spring..and today we have traditional bank holiday weather!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it’s damp here….I went to bed until 2 pm , then cleaned the cottage and tidied up until now. The fire is lit and all is well
DeleteA shame you missed the tea party, but at least you got a taste of it. Maybe it's for the best you didn't go. All that yummy food would have scuppered the diet! xx
ReplyDeleteYes weigh in tomorrow
DeleteI thought of you as I ate my wild boar and apple scotch egg with my afternoon tea, it was bloody wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh, becstill my beating heart !!!!
DeleteJohn ..my oldest grandgirl and her mum have managed to get tickets for the Friday Eurovision...imagine the excitement!!
ReplyDeleteBloody hell they were lucky x
DeleteOoh, cake! Yes please.
ReplyDeleteWith butter icing to die for….gulp my weigh in is tomorrow
DeleteSometimes we really need a full day of sleep.
ReplyDeleteOh I needed it too david
DeleteThose cakes look to die for.
ReplyDeleteBridget is a professional cake maker x
DeleteLife in your village sounds so charming.
ReplyDeleteLike anywhere in can be and it isn’t lol
DeleteGlad you got a chance to catch up on some sleep! How nice of your friend to leave you a piece of cake.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week, John!
I have a final essay to write and two night shifts before the silly Saturday night out where I intend to have too much wine
DeleteIt sounds like that long sleep was just what you needed but am sorry you mised the tra. I'm glad you rescued the cake before Albert or passers-by found it!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I’ve had alsorts left for me on the kitchen wall before, including a full plated dinner. And nothing has ever been stolen
DeleteThose goodies look yummy!
ReplyDeleteHistorically the village has produced excellent bakers, I should know running the flower show for so long…the cake table always had the most exhibitors
DeleteThe largest number of cakes in one show was 78
Your village Coronation party looks festive and all the special cakes look outstanding. Nick is a very thoughtful guy and I'm glad you enjoyed the cake. The pubs must be alive with celebrations too. You might well catch one of these parties.
ReplyDeleteI think I’ve had enough of it all today . The moment has passed.
DeleteLike I said Eurovision is the next bash….we have a Ukrainian family living in the village, they are the honoured guests at our party x
Ooooh, I didn't realize Eurovision was next Saturday. Must watch!
ReplyDeleteAnd you call yourself a gay man!!!!!!! Shame Steve lol
