A light hearted thread.
Her schedule appears to have been quiet. Which is fair enough.

I wonder if she's been getting up late, watching daytime TV - maybe Bargain Hunt?

Or is she a BBC Breakfast or GMB fan?
Watch Countdown?

Relaxing, putting her feet up.
I know she was doing less engagements as she got older.

She is 94 after all.

Big fan of Pointless apparently. No, really.
It’s true. She had Alexander Armstrong over to give a talk at her local WI. They played a game of Pointless that was in teams rather than pairs. She was captain of one team, which of course won!

Keeping Campari in business.

Working her way through the whole range of Duchy Original biscuits (discounted natch).

Trying the curly girl method (as she hasn't needed to be seen in public).

Binge-watching Schitt's Creek.

Lying in bed till lunchtime. Then lounging in her jammies watching daytime TV, catching up on what her subjects are like in the real world.

Brilliant thread :)
I bet she's got into dressing up the dorgis in little clothes and has been on ebay for little dog sized crowns.

Writing the next series of The Windsor's and chortling to herself.

Counting out her money! Or
Feet up with the tv ' homes under the hammer 'and the news to see how President Trump is getting along.
Odd email to the family. Sorting out the dogs for their walks.
Who knows really? It's probably been a very long break for her and she is bored I bet!

Actually, that's quite incredible isn't it? 94 and riding a horse.

I like the thought of HRH Her Maj in Azeroth.
I could see her as a cackling gnome warlock.

I think she is WFH and messing around with dogs and ponies. Enjoying time with PP and zooming the GGC.

She's probably also trying to figure out how she retires, I'm sure she was planning to retire at 95, the same as PP. But she can't exactly have a big retirement do with Covid doing the rounds.

One thing I’m really shocked about is that she hasn’t been addressing the nation on a regular basis
