A right royal lunchtime
Up early, turning on my phone having turned it off mid-quiz last night, and discovered a text from Jane, who is over in Blighty working as a Camilla lookalike. Took the opportunity to zip up to the Poetry Cafe on the edge of Covent Garden to meet her this lunchtime. We sloped into The Salisbury a favourite haunt of mine when in town. There we had a large glass of wine and some pub grub.
Enjoyed hearing about a remarkable turn of events which has seen Jane on national news, BBC in Guernsey (both TV and radio) a new book, not to mention a gazillion images, and a new book by Alison Jackson Kate and Wills Up the Aisle: A Right Royal Fairy Tale. Apparently the lookalikes refer to each other as the character they are portraying, rather like actors do. She quit a long standing education role in Guernsey last month, and has been super busy ever since. Also found time to discuss her own wedding plans, an event which is a mere two and a half weeks away.
Saw Jane onto her Gatwick express train, before jumping into mine where I finished reaing at last The Mind in the Cave by David Lewis-Williams which is the most exciting book I have read in ages, which examines the art in caves, the development of the human mind, the difference between Neanderthal and H. Sapiens, the beginnings of shamanism and religion in paleolithic people... Fascinating stuff.
A touch of narcolepsy this evening. Just plain tired for some reason. A blameless night tonight of sparkling waters and small foods.
Below Jane papped in London today.
