Another snippets post today, dear reader...
- Floral news: The RHS Chelsea Flower Show opened its doors to the hoi-polloy today - after HM The King and Queen Camilla, the media and assorted celebs including Dame Mary Berry, Cate Blanchett, David Beckham, Vanessa Feltz, Richard E Grant, Amanda Holden, Felicity Kendal and Dame Joanna Lumley had the place to themselves yesterday.
- Not the kind of beach holiday he expected news: A British tourist had to be rescued after digging a hole in the sand at Copacabana Beach and hitting quicksand, but was helped through it by a can of cold beer. Not the first time men have been sucked on a beach in Rio de Janeiro, I imagine.
- Romance is not dead news: A new wedding gift registry service has been launched by Tesco that includes toilet tissue, toothpaste, refuse sacks, kitchen towel, antibacterial hand wash and shower products. Now, that would look lovely in the photos...
- And finally - Catch that buzz: It's (coincidentally) World Bee Day today! And we know a song about that, don't we?
Hope you're humming along, dear reader!
And the weather? Up and down again like a whore's drawers.
What's this about my drawers?
ReplyDeleteYou can't be a whore - you give it away so easily and freely! Jx
DeleteWhores wear draws? I had no idea.
ReplyDeleteNot for long, dear... Jx
DeleteDrawers. Damned autocorrect.
ReplyDeleteAnd people think AI is going to save the world? Jx
DeleteOh, I used to listen to my dad's Arthur Askey album when I was a kid!!
ReplyDeleteThere's a special Monty Don dog garden at Chelsea that has piqued my interest.
Sx
"Hello, playmates!"
DeleteThe dog garden has been getting loads of coverage - and it was the first one the Royals visited... Jx
Ah, Queen Camilla's getting ideas now that she has a new puppy.
DeleteI must say, the pots in the dog garden are not suitable for small, over-enthusiastic terriers chasing rats/mice/birds etc that try and hide between them and the shed - Bitey would knock over the smaller ones and jump onto the bigger ones, smashing all the plants to smithereens!
We thought Camilla headed for the dog garden because she is one...
DeleteMonty "tested" the garden on a large, over-enthusiastic Golden Retriever chasing a ball/frisbee/its own tail ("Ned"), so I imagine it's built for all eventualities! Jx
