Personal Musings

Will my “Prince Charles elementary school” ribbons and certificates be upgraded?

Declined an invitation (which never arrived), had things to do around the house after all

However, thinking about how sharp I would’ve looked at the ceremony at Westminster Abbey yesterday with all these Royal accolades and badges spangled across my black morning suit with tails & a ceremonial hat of some sort. Pretty fancy & obv regal I think.

I just hope I would’ve been seated by the president of Moldova. She seems really sharp.

Question: do these “Prince” Charles ribbons get upgraded now?

Have my certificates become even more prestigious?

I need to know this to update my LinkedIn profile.

Pod cover - Postcards from Gravelly Beach - Meandering Past Monuments

Wrapping up the White Poppies for Remembrance series with a narrative late-night wander through Westminster, London, DaveO meanders past military monuments, victory squares, cenotaphs, palaces, royal parks, war museum, war chambers, riot fences, war protesters, churches, parliament and finishing at St. James park for a sitdown under a weeping willow to consider monarchy, individual rights and responsibilities, and the role of class division in waging war as London’s sirens, trains, and Big Ben fill the night.
