'twas the queen's diamond jubilee and the biggest river thames pageant for 350 years.
there were thousands of parties and events planned across great britain to celebrate elizabeth's long reign
but of course it was high winds and rain all day: many of the events were washed out.
we, the "queen of dismal"s citizens, are used to such conditions.
if one is planning anything, one should plan for rain.

in wetsuits in the sea in devon, we don't mind the rain so much.
in fact, we kinda like it.
maximum at 7am this morning.
in other news.
back at farm ludwig disappeared for 2hours and returned knackered and soaking.
clearly alien abduction
and
i snapped an oar on our boat, in a big wave that threw maximum overboard (amusingly)
oar ruined, maximum fine.
was a good idea to buy life-jackets this year
