After Day 1 of Jubilee weekend, I'm surprised I even woke up on Sunday.
Watching Telly - Did you know that primetime television is on Saturday and Sunday evenings here? I don't get it, in a country that boozes so much you would think everyone would be down the pub, but this is a serious thing! As I had completely destroyed myself the day before, staying in and watching the flotilla river pageant jubilee thingy indoors was a brilliant idea.
Yes we had freshly delivered pizza for breakfast, no we didn't change out of our PJs all day, yes many cups of tea were consumed whilst it rained all over the fools that stood outside to get a short glimpse of what we saw on BBC for 5 hours - but this level of lounging seems to be the standard for when big events are happening on your doorstep.
Without further ado, here's the best recap of that day
Oh my days, I've just linked to something from Perez...
The better part of this bit is afterwards when John Oliver flails excitedly talking about the boats and gets rained on/beans'd on/toast'd on.

On a side note, the BBC wasn't much better than CNN as far as coverage. My favourite bit of flotilla commentary: 'Well, what some people don't realise is that driving a boat isn't like driving a car.'
FFS.
