Hip, Hip, Hip Aaaaaaaaaagh!

Pain! I had hoped that my painful hip/back would slow to a dull roar by now but, in fact, it was worse this morning. I just had a sneezing fit and it hurt again so, as you can probably guess, I am now looking forward to seeing my doctor on Monday morning. The most concerning part of this is that I have no idea what the problem is. It might be my hip joint is falling apart or it might be a problem with my spine or it might be anything I suppose. Spooky.
I have now officially been offered my old job with a new title and slight upgrade so I am good. Hazel didn't even get an interview for the job she has been doing for nearly fifteen years but she has got an interview for another job that she has never done.................. Spooky.

I don't know how much of the jubilee celebrations you may have seen, I saw about a third of them and was struck by just how uninterested some of the royal family seemed to be in the celebrations. The Queen seemed to be completely cheesed off with the whole thing and Anne was going through the motions of waving a paper flag on a stick whilst her mind was obviously a long way off. Charles, bless him, did his best as he always seems to and the younger royals were fairly animated as well but there was definitely a  lack of interest from them. I imagine that Philip had been quite interested whilst he was still able to be involved but I don't think the Queen was the only one to miss his enthusiasm on Monday and Tuesday. 

I thought that the concert was pretty good myself. I didn't really follow a lot of the younger acts too well but most of the show seemed to be well planned and performed. It was a shame, therefore, to see so many negative comments about the older performers from the younger element on Facebook (other social networks are available). Some of the comments made about Paul McCartney were downright rude and completely uncalled for.
