AIBU to think lots of engagements are not "work"?

[babsanderson]

Just reading the Court Circular and I am struck once again by the reality that many engagements can not remotely be called work.
So just looking at January so it is clear I am not cherry picking over many months, there are the following engagements.

1. Anne went to a Dinner with the Caledonian Hunt
2. The Duke of Kent attended a carol service
3. Duchess of Gloucester, Patron, the Arts Society, today held a Meeting via telephone with Dr. Florian Schweizer (Chief Executive). So basically a phone call.
4. Anne attended lunch at the Royal Yachting Association.

It is not even the time of year to attend Film Premiers, tennis matches, football matches and theatre premiers.

@Mysterian I just wanted to acknowledge that this comment, and the unexpected mention of Brandreth, really made me laugh

Meeting people, eating food you might not like, having to be bright and friendly, and there's always the chance you might meet Giles Brandreth. Not fun so definitely work.

And what is her answer should conversation be on things like nursery sustainability, special needs provision, the latest approach to combat mental health or domestic violence smile and nod like a brainless I'll informed wombat?

Hey, some people really, really like wombats.

😂took me a while to get the joke!

That'll teach you to check usernames 😃
