I watched it on TV and it wore me out. We had planned to go to a celebration in Manchester but there was that whole nasty gastric upset thing the night before which caused most of us not to do anything that didn't absolutely have to be done and Diamond Jubilee Celebration certainly fell into the optional category.
We suspect that the grandbaby gave us all the bug. It's the only explanation since three out of four of us were violently ill and we hadn't eaten the same thing. We later learned that the parents (and the other grandparents) had been ill the previous week but the parents didn't want to accept blame. And in all fairness, none of us were cuddling the parents.
While I was free to lounge on the couch all day, my step-daughter and her partner had to go to IKEA. They'd just moved into a new (to them) house and realized that their new bed was missing some parts and of course, when you don't feel well (they were sick along with me), a bed is more comforting than a mattress on the floor.
By the way, it's a great house! It has a cellar that they're planning to do into a useable work room. It has a converted loft and an extra large bathroom with a tub AND a shower. And it's in a fabulous location around the corner from the tram station, across the road from a beautiful park with pubs and restaurants in easy walking distance.
But, I digress. This is the good part: Because we're old(er), they assembled our bed first so that we wouldn't have to do mattress on the floor. See!! Getting older does have some advantages. It probably has more advantages if you're the queen. But then again, no one asked me to stand up and ride on a barge and wave to people for three and a half hours.
