How about some first hand reports on the activities celebrating the
Queen's 60th year on the throne? How does the Queen feel about pets? Does she have any? Wondering. MLB |

MLB She loves dogs and has had corgis all her life. She also has a passion for horses. There have been several programmes on tv here showing the home films taken of her throughout her life. I don't know if they will be broadcast so that you can see them. One was narrated by Prince Charles that was BBC and on ITV Prince William narrated another. I think you would find them interesting as they show the queen in a very different light to how we usually see her. Judith I hope I get an opportunity to see those programs. I've always wanted nthe Queen to be happy and successful. MLB |

It gets me an extra day off from Hell i.e. work (Yesterday within 2 hours I got told my job is being down graded and I'm going to be forced to work in another office even though I've repeatedly told the manager concerned that being in there will cause me stress, which in turn is not good for my blood pressure and seroiusly aggravate my depression and the physical environment isn't safe and I'll be in an office next to someone who once damn nearly assaulted me and it will make my job a lot harder 'cos I can't move big notes the same way- as my lift phobia means I can't put them on a trolley and use the lift to get them where they need to go- this a***hole was saying he was trying to be nice and I shouldn't take it personally but I do! I worked really hard the whole of May because they have lost 2 staff and not replaced them so I'm doing a lot of covering and this is what I get as a reward?) And that's really all it means to me...might go to a BBQ on Tuesday in my local Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

Even here in the USA, there have been any number of TV program references to her dogs. |

Even here in the USA, there have been any number of TV program references to her dogs. I guess it depends on how much TV watching is done. I do remember the corgis and horses and I have watched the big events over the years. I do not spend a lot of time in front of the TV however, and can't lay claim to remembering all the details of the various programs --over 60 years. MLB |

MLB We are having a street party outside our houses tomorrow. Just a few immediate neighbours. Unfortunately, the weather forecast is for rain so we'll be putting a gazebo up to keep the food dry! It will be a buffet type spread - I've just got back from getting some baguettes and rolls and four different salad mixes and I also made a big curry this afternoon. If the rain is really bad, we'll just have to rush out and get a plate of food and stand just inside our open front doors to eat it! As well as the corgis and horses Judith already told you about, the Queen also has Labradors and a loft of racing pigeons. She is very fond of pets. Not sure if she has any cats though. Lots of TV programmes on showing old cine films taken by the Royal family of themselves in ordinary family situations. This is only the 2nd time in British history that a monarch has had a Diamond Jubilee, the first one was Queen Victoria. Here's taste of what is hapening in the capital http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Nl1/News...es/DG_WP200687 Tweed Tweed |

MLB Here in Cornwall there is bunting up all over the place - both Union Jacks, and the Cornish colours of black and yellow. Very pretty and festive. There are picnics planned in nearby villages but it is forecast to be wet so they may be moved into village halls. In Launceston, my nearest town, there is a Jubilee fair planned for Monday in the grounds of Launceston Castle where there will be a regimental band, craft stalls, a bouncy castle, falconry and food and drink. We have some bunting up outside our cottage for the few people that pass by. On Tuesday our neighbour is having a small Jubilee party so we'll be going along to that.

You will have to thumb your noses at the neighbors who, I am sure, are *not* invited. Sounds fun!
