I totally approve of Mrs. Middleton’s outfit. Very appropriate in my mind, and very flattering. Trumpet salute for Andrew. Ah… trumpets! I love the traditions we are seeing. ---

The BBC has better coverage, the American networks are all full of gushy treacle, “Oh my God he’s a real person.” William’s bald head is REALLY noticeable from a long shot. The crowds don’t seem to like Edward and his kids. They cheered but not as much as other. And here comes the Queen, so far she is right up there with William and his brother with the cheers ---

I get up to go to work early because I’m a baker. I swore I’d leave, and just record this to watch later. But I’m still here and the wedding starts in about fifteen or twenty minutes. I just have to see the wedding dress, and hear the processional. Then I’ll hit “Record” and leave. ---

I think it is some time in 2015, and Her Majesty will become the longest reigning British monarch. ---

You know, I really despise those Georgia Nicolson books, but one of her phrases just sprang into my mind. “Oh my giddygodstrousers.” Charles, Camilla and Her Majesty all standing together. What’s sometime in 2015? ---

I love the Queen. I admire her greatly. Never warmed to Edward and Sophie. I’m on BBC World News now, no more flipping around. Sorry, CBC! Kate’s dress is… white. With a low neckline. That’s all I can see so far! ---
