Went for a nice relaxed Sunday lunch at classy (well pricey ) lakeside restaurant. Pleasant background music until 8 year old at next table starts loudly playing a video game on Mum's phone. All the way through they're meal: ignorant numpties!

I'm all for Queenie and her bunch but can we get back to some semblance of normality now...?

You'd better get used to it. She'll die soon and then we'll get weeks and weeks of it until the funeral. And then more weeks of it leading up to the coronation of King Charles.

Crikey that's a bit blunt. I for one hope not.

She's 96 and her health hasn't been the best recently, as you might expect for someone of 96, and has been withdrawing from public appearances that in previous years she would never have missed. Having recently lost her husband of over 70 years it wouldn't surprise me if she's held on to get to the Platinum Jubilee and now goes rapidly downhill. I hope I'm wrong but I'd be surprised if she sees out the year.

There is a feeling that’s going to be one of her last public appearances
But you only have to look at the Queen Mum and how well she kept going so whilst I can see her reducing her duties dramatically I don’t think she will pass away this year and think she will pass 100

I hope she continues to take a back seat and enjoys some chill time in her late 90's (and hopefully 100's). I would think some of her energy and drive has diminished since losing her husband. I can imagine her saying "can't I just stay in my sloppy joes and watch TV" and Philip saying "come on lass, get your gladrags on and let's get this done"
Seriously though, at 96, the very effort of dressing up and travelling from home is too much for many of that age. She's earnt a rest.

Long may she reign. The alternative doesn’t fill me with the same confidence

We noticed on holiday how many kids just sit and watch a phone/iPad at dinner - I’ve got a 7yr old, and I’m sure we’ve done it at some point, but we tended to take colouring or something else to entertain. Some of the kids were watching the iPad in the pram on the way to the restaurant, and then didn’t take their eyes off it the whole time. The volume part is ignorance on the parents part, but doesn’t surprise me, I couldn’t believe the general ignorance a large number of adults showed whilst we were away.

I would like to see her abdicate and head off to Windsor or Balmoral to live out her remaining time doing whatever she wants to do rather than having the pressure of attending public events. She's done more than enough representing the UK over the last 70 years and should go and put on her comfy slippers and put her feet up. I'd then like to see Charles pass on becoming king and hand it down to William. Bring in a much more youthful look to the royal family.

After the climate lecture they both gave last night the can both do one

We bought a new fridge freezer which turned up on Saturday so I got it in the place she suggested and plugged it all in.
After a couple of hours she decided it needed to be in the other corner of the alcove and the doors should open the other way!
Next up she suggested that “we” get rid of one of the storage boxes behind the summerhouse - guess who did it all?

My neighbour was complaining about this too which reminded me of some advice I got in 1985.....

Meh, eldest has doc martins, she has pretty much stopped growing now so they should last for years (but they were expensive up front). The eldest boy has them from Next, daughter 2 from Clarks outlet and youngest we get Puma or Nike 'Shoes' ie dark trainers which he can get away with. We have not done clarkes for years, last time though it was about 130quid....

And it STILL hasn't arrived. Was it just TFL on strike or the postmen as well??
Edit: Just arrived finally, only four hours after the estimated time given this morning. ?
