Fancy being 80+ and being forced to sit through the Royal Variety(?) Performance

[ClementClarkeMoore]

I mean 80 year olds are usually in bed for 9.30 pm with cocoa and the Woman's Weekly which incidentally, having read my grandma's copy, is infinitely more entertaining than that pile of old doggy poo!

Those cheesy, white, gleaming grins from the performers are just too much to take.

I'm talking of our beloved monarch obviously I am not 80.

Was she there? I thought it was Charles and Camilla?
(Didn't watch it though! )

Oh was it? har-de-har, she's a sharp cookie our Queenie eh?

Oh well, imagine being 58 and having to sit through that pile of doggy poo.

Hehehe, my mum is 80 next birthday and more likely to be listening to opera while drinking wine than the cocoa/bed scenario.

As for my 86yo MIL - it's pointless trying to phone her before 10.30pm because she's never in!!
