I'm trying to stay awake, Mephisto, so I can commiserate with how tired you are. This very sunny, warm weather with blue skies and flowers blooming in November has me very worried about whether we will soon be having sixty mile per hour winds blowing the trees down, and flooding in the streets. When I got up today I went for a very long walk because it was so summery, and since then I have just felt like having a siesta!!!
So before I slump over the keyboard I should say I have not had time to keep up with Charles and the young princes. It is hard to read garbage magazines if you don't have enough energy left to get to the supermarket, obviously, and that would be me this weekend. I do think there is a public relations campaign by the Palace to make Charles look like a good father at the moment, to limit the damage from the Diana tapes Morton used to update his book after she died. I think Prince Harry is awfully young and fragile to be going through such an ordeal, although he has the advantage of still being enough of a child that he can hold his daddy's hand and get a lot of hugs and cuddles that William surely wants and needs as well but is too old to feel comfortable with. Harry was already going to be repeating a grade before this all happened, so I bet it is a struggle for him academically. Anyway, William consoled himself with meeting the Spice Girls!!
That whole British upper class boarding school system is a very cold way to rear children. I hope William and Harry feel free coming home as much as they want to for awhile, and travelling with their father, because just shoving them back at school seems horrible.
What were you doing in the garden, Mephisto? |
