Woke me about an hour ago, so sweet!
That's a grand way to start the day, no equal to it in all the world.
Today is the Queen's 90th birthday. There is gush. 'How do you think she keeps going?' was one question I saw on some clickbaity social media thing. Well, I guess being one of the most pampered human beings on earth must help. Give everyone a life in which their wishes are attended to on every level, and everything around them is tailored as much as possible to their tastes, a life in which even disagreement with them is considered anathema and the best doctors and diets are theirs to command, and I think we will discover whole generations of potential nonagenarians who do very nicely thank you.
The Telegraph has the most peculiar timeline of the queen's life http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/03/16/queens-90th-birthday-when-is-it-and-how-will-it-be-celebrated/ One pushes a little cartoon Queen's head down the timeline and it gets greyer and craggier the older she gets. Someone has thoughtfully added crows feet and furrows along the decades. She'll love that. The logical end would of course, be a crowned skull at the bottom of the page with a question mark. Seriously strange.
Still,the birds are singing, and it's a nice day to be 90. May we all reach such an age and have such a morning for it.
