Jubilee!

[bogwitch]

So the Jubilee spirit finally managed to infect me and effort was actually made to go and see the damp spectacle of the wicker man beacon being lit. As you can imagine, the flames were just visible through the copious amounts of smoke

All right, I'll probably sound like a complete moron, but... what is the Jubilee? Is it about the Queen?

[bogwitch]

Yes, it's about the Queen reigning for 60 years. We get two days off to watch all the events. I spent my day cleaning the flat because I'm cynical.

Lol, good for her XD. But not very festive of you ;).

So are you guys going to be celebrating for, like the whole year? That's how the official website makes it sound ;).

[bogwitch]

Feels like it already. I think it's really the influence of having the Olympics as well.

[upupa_epops]

I can only imagine. Well, I hope some celebrations will still be there in autumn, it would be a crying shame if I missed everything (I'm going to Britain for 6 months, starting in October).

The rest of Poland is here, you'll feel right at home!

You probably will miss it. It's meant to just be the 'summer'. There will still be Bonfire Night though.

LOL, touche! However, I'm going to Wales, not to London, so I might end up hearing random Polish people on the streets every other day instead of every day ;).

It's not necessariy a problem, it's our fault we didn't train any plumbers.
