Of royalty, blooms, beaches, bees and bog roll

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.
