Many felicitations, Ma'am.

Today would appear to be the Queen's birthday. That's as in her actual birthday, not her official birthday, which is celebrated in June

Although I agree with what you say re:monarchy, I don't have the time to elaborate on it, but it's nice to see a shared opinion!

Yes, indeed. I'm not sure whether to attribute the total silence of the rest of my friends list in response to this post to shock, neutrality or their just not having read it yet: but it is nice to hear that someone feels the same, anyway!

National Anthem

[anonymous]

Hi Penny it's Amy here,

Just thought you might like to know that I listened to the National Anthem whilst in labour with Holly! They didn't have a TV in the delivery suite, and I didn't want music on (as it would have annoyed me) so I made the nurse put on Radio 4. Anyway halfway through the evening they did a programme on the Diaries of George V and they played the National Anthem at the end! In my drug-induced state I found it very bizarre!

I didn't stand up though ;)

What an entrance into the world for Holly! I wonder if it's an omen that she will go on to marry a member of the Royal family?

And I am now chuckling at the thought of mothers in the middle of delivery struggling to their feet at the sound of the National Anthem!

Hehe! I certainly didn't get up. Although in my drug-induced state I might have saluted.
