Hiya Josh! Hope it’s cooler where you are… Boston is having a true heat wave and everyone is whining! I am enjoying air-conditioned splendor and thinking of you.

How’s life treating you? I can’t believe it’s been a month since I retired! I am loving it and keeping busy.

I found time to get my first manicure in forever. Thought you might like to see. The color is called “Blue My Mind.” Heh. 

Hugs with groping and my hand someplace special!

Two photographs were taken recently in the garden of their home at Kensington Palace, and the other was taken while on holiday with the family. All were taken by the Duchess of Cambridge.

I got tickets to the Downton Abbey exhibit for next week!  So excited!

There were a lot of days when I was waiting to retire that I thought, “very soon I’ll be able to see that exhibit during the day on a weekday!”  Ha!

This week the annual census of the swan population on the River Thames, known as “Swan Upping” has been taking place. 🦢
It began yesterday in Sunbury, Surrey and will end at Abingdon Bridge, Oxfordshire on Friday. Originally it began as a ceremonial exercise but has now become an important element of wildlife conservation. 
A flotilla of traditional Thames rowing skiffs, manned by Swan Uppers in scarlet rowing shirts and headed by The Queen’s Swan Marker row their way steadily up the Thames. 
The Swan Uppers weigh and measure the cygnets and check them for any signs of injury, commonly caused by fishing hooks and line.

Wow! Your grilled dinner looks so tasty! And different from the usual.

I managed to get down some scrambled eggs and toast… hoping that cures whatever ails me!

9:59 PM Phil
Hope so. Hope you feel better!
