It Found Me Again (royal news)

No sooner than I had written proudly I've not looked up royal news for over a week, I came home to my apartment to find the t.v. playing a show about the Windsors. I walked past Windsor court tonight and no one loitering around the sign tonight, I noticed.

Instead, I met a woman standing out in her yard with a bald head who is recovering from chemo, and met more children. People with cancer and pregnant women and children everywhere now, to make me feel guilty probably, about my prayer of late. Well, my prayer wasn't intended for everyone, only those who have been evil and corrupt in their dealings with me and my son. We're tired of God, and we told God. What that means, is anyone's guess, because we all know the proverb about how the righteous (or so we think, in our own eyes) suffer and the wicked prosper. There are no guarantees of justice, but I can still ask.

This program is actually very well done. I like the subdued understated humor. "The were in want of sympathy for one another, one could say..." ..."I feel like a bloody ameoba (can't spell it)."

I didn't realize the name change was so recent, in the 50s. So much has changed. It feels like that was at least 100 years ago. I liked the Queen Mother's mermaid tutu dress. I don't know, the one with chiffon tutu material with little glittery things. I wonder what color it was, because it was shown in black and white. It looked like sort of a ballerina mermaid dress to me. The Queen had (and still has) a beautiful figure, very pretty.

I thought it was fascinating about the Queen Mother being frozen out of Buckingham for awhile. It makes it more political in an old-fashioned sense almost, where not long ago brothers and sisters would kill eachother over position. I guess that was only 200 years ago maybe?

That was nice to see. I think I missed part of it, but it was good. It was called The Queen's Coronation. I loved the Queen's bracelet on her wedding day on her right arm. Very classic. I didn't get to see the other arm but I was looking. I also was sort of interested in what she was carrying, that ball in one hand and then a staff? in the other? or was it the royal rod thing? I don't know what they are or what they symbolize but I might look it up for the symbolism. I also noticed how disgruntled she and Philip looked in one of their wedding photos. She kept her head down when he knelt in front of her, maybe bc she didn't want to laugh by looking or maybe because she was angry about something? It's good that she and her own mother kept some matters private from even their husbands, some of the state affairs or business. I don't know.

The thing I really noticed at the end, in her family photo at the end credits, was her pearl necklace. I had one exactly like this, which I wore all the time. For many years, I had a love (still do but not practical right now) for pearl necklaces and the quality of the fake pearls was better at antique stores so I bought vintage pearls. I had a couple of two strand necklaces exactly the same length and size as that one. I had at least 12 or so pearl necklaces at one time, all vintage or antique.

Weird. I was just writing about pearls and this constellation guy says, at the same time, after I wrote about "12 or so pearl necklaces" he said, "String of pearls." I looked up, stunned, and he was describing a constellation by this name. Really! It's called Ainllam but means "string of pearls"
