Congrats, y’all, y’all have a new monarch. Couldn’t miss it, it was the first thing on TV this morning. LoL.
To Y’all From The Commonwealth, Congrats!

Nice, does he actually ride?
On a Norton no less. LoL .
Motorcycles to me are very iconic to British society especially in the last century.
Just driven across town. Very quiet, everyone home watching the coronation! Only three staff in whole of supermarket. Few customers anyway.
Here's the late Queen's late cousin...
Brick walls, very British! Five years older than my bike. I don't have a pillion like that five years younger.

I knew the coronation would be on TV , so we got some snacks. First had morning coffee and misc items, then later afternoon tea. I’ll accept any reason for a good drink!
Mixed up a bit of the sparkling wine and cassis! Don’t recall the official name, I’ll call it a “redcoat”! Cheers!

Liver pate. Had a variety of cheeses, different jams, toast and various crackers. The pate goes good with black currant.
I can now tie my own shoes and wash my hair both hands! LoL .
Hmm, delicious.
Yeah, Sikatri, when I asked how's putting on your sneakers and going for a walk, I was really angling on the walking part, not the actual putting on of the sneakers. Still, I suppose lace tying is exercise of sorts. :-)
We went yesterday. Probably skipping today, but tomorrow for sure. Got to lose these party pounds! I’ll blame Charles for any weight gain! LoL. I actually had difficulty tying my shoes, simply could not do it one handed.
When I had my big bike accident, I was lying in the road, looking up through my visor. There was a ring of people around the opening, looking down into my helmet.
Suddenly this cheerful bike courier I knew, who had recognised my bike upright in the side of a car, stuck his head into the ring. I felt calm then.
Anyway, Grierson was his name. Always talking and laughing. Could be slightly irritating at times. But was I pleased to see him.
Which is a longwinded way of saying, I only wear slip-on shoes. He introduced me to them. And to that friend of mine who isn't now a friend of mine on his wife's orders.
Grieson died just a few years after that, working on a car. Crushed head against a wall. I still think of him, slipping on my shoes.
Slip-ons are so unfashionable they're great. And of course ideal for those of reduced mobility.
Wow, a bit of sad and happy in your comment. Sad about your friend that passed, but happy that he was there in your time of need. My motorcycle boots actually have a zipper on the side as well as laces. So several times I would just have the laces tied loose and slip the boot on and zip up the zipper. It worked. Other thing that worked was whining to my wife, honey I can’t tie my shoes! LoL !
Many years ago the two brothers did a ride though South Africa on bikes.
