Working and packing cheerfully as in a mournful nation

Working with Keith for about five hours finishing off a job today ahead of the deadline on Tuesday. I also broke off to have a chat with Sarah to prepare for her interview for Planet Poetry. Meanwhile Lorraine slipped out to meet Rosie for brunch, while Pippi was being groomed at somewhere called Woofmans. Noticing the emptiness of the house apart from the cats when Lorraine was gone. 

Looking at people giving themselves black profiles on Social Media to indicate their grief. Interesting phenomenon who personally some people are taking the Queen's death. Sam texted to say that our friend that is the Camilla lookalike (Jane in Guernsey) may have lots of work soon. I hadn't thought of that.

When Lorraine arrived home we did some packing away my books and so on in Sam's room. We just wanted to stay in this evening, and ate salad and bulgar wheat and quinoa with halloumi. All well in Deep Space Nine. On the BBC and other outlets filled with an awkward semi mourning Royal news. It is quite a moment for the UK though, with a new prime minister and a new King in the same week.
