Mark and I were sound asleep when the power went out. He poked me awake saying “Hey! The power just went out!” I looked at my bedside clock ... 5 a.m. The power abruptly came back on and I got up to reset the bedroom’s (extra) A/C.
I decided to get up and watch the royal wedding, it being 5 AM! Perfect, that’s exactly when coverage starts. But, imagine my surprise when I came into the living room, turned on the TV and “who wants to be a millionaire” was on and not the royal wedding! I ran to the bedroom to tell Mark the DVR failed to start at 5 AM as HE had programmed. Oh my, the indignation. 😜
After poking around with TV guide etc. I noticed the TV was insisting it was 2:05 AM and not 5:05 AM as I had read on my bedside clock. Hmmm ... what was going on?
I had to laugh, one of those good belly laughs; ran back to the bedroom and said to Mark, “you know how we changed the battery in your bedside clock a few days ago but didn’t change them in my clock? It’s only 2 AM. Since I took my morning medications already I was up for the day, a long day! 🤣
So ... here I sit in front of the Telly ... a “veddy early berd” ... waiting, rather like the Brits lined up along the procession route! 😂 👑
Maybe you’re all wondering why I would give a darn about a royal wedding? Well, ask that to the millions around the world waiting to watch. My fascination began July 29, 1981 when I watched Lady Diana Spencer marry Prince Charles. It was a fairy-tale wedding with an evil twist as things turned out. However, the marriage produced two boys, “an heir and a spare” as the tabloids of the day printed.
Diana and Charles on their big day ... and her big fairytale wedding dress with 10,000 pearls!
As it turned out, I gave up waiting about 330 and went to bed. So, Mark and I sat and watched the entire procession together at 8 o’clock. Lovely.
It was amazing to think of the security involved in a gathering of this sort! Well done! 👍🏻
It’s been a busy day here. Mark worked a few hours for Marky-Mark cleaning the pool filter and removing kitchen cabinets.
Portion of wall between kitchen and living room will be opened up.
Kitchen with cabinets gone! Pretty ugly right now. 😝
The kitchen sink is still hooked up.
Having fun!
Happy hour was enjoyed on the front porch with a misty rain falling. Now it’s time to watch hockey! Go lightning!
