Oh yes. Satan created the internet. And a demon squad runs google.

:wave: Hi, Lady Oak!

Urm...this is where I show my general apathy & ignorance about royal news--because NO IDEA what wedding you mean.:blush:

However, I met a child at ballgame. With plastic spoon & sun hat. Learned lots of interesting stuff about him. And his family. And random toys he liked. Then he ate a booger. And his mother moved him farther away.

Sounds like typical kid behavior.
That’s for the batter pic. He looks quite fit [emoji6]

19 miles, with hills & high winds, todaybike.gif
Then, a crisis!:nuts:
cycling crisis.jpg
Happily, patagonia atom sling pocket prevented littering.:tup:
Next rest stop, a farm. The dogs & I had a moment.

Happily, everyone enjoyed head scratches. Then barked more, just to be sure.
Later, ran over metal thing.
Cycling partner flatted out & tinkered.
I tried to juggle CO2 cartridges=epic fail.:sad:

Currently addicted to watching this video:

Must research Wicked, now. Great song! Talented kid:cool:

Difficult to avoid watching it, Ludmilla....After days of bad weather here, I am going for a walk right now.
And then.. I will see...
Congrats on your Mulb Alexa. She must be quite excited to be part of D Day...:smile::heart:

Hehe. It was difficult to avoid it around here, too. Went to the pub with a friend in the evening and naturally we had to discuss the dress (she liked the Queen better than the bride :lol:). I have to admit that I like to watch royal weddings. Since Fergie (when I was really really young) I have seen EVERY European royal wedding. :rolleyes: Guess, we Bavarians still miss the pomp of our former kings. :lol:

Hope you had a nice walk!

Hope everyone is fine. :)
Fun evening at the local pub. Took a pic of "the wall".

Weather is ugly, so I am staying inside. Tomorrow trip with two friends to a town nearby. Navy Cuir on duty! :D

Sounds lovely!
Rain again here too.
When it finally dries up, the temps are supposed to go straight to HOT.
Can’t get a pretty day around here it seems.

Aha! I checked news.:giggle:
Have visited Windsor Castle, etc.
Must say, his bride chose very simple & elegant style.:tup: They looked happy in photos.

I imagine every royal jewelry piece dripping with the blood spilled to acquire it, through history. Kills their glamour, sadly.
Tower of London jewels leaked oceans of gore, in my imagination. But ravens were cool.

I told my legs to stop complaining--they aren't listening. But race is near!:panic:
Was huge dog! Were 2. They decided I wasn't a threat, after head scratches.

Finally, I decided to watch the Royal wedding as there was no other choice ...
I first looked at the ladies'dresses and hats...Except for Victoria Beckam's and George Clooney's wife' s I didn't like any of them...:sad:
Then, I looked at the handbags... Some ladies didn't carry one, most had clutches. Nothing to get excited about..:shocked:
The ceremony was great.... Meghan was gorgeous in her Givenchy dress and Harry was... Harry. So good-looking and modest.:heart:
The American Reverend was fantastic and "Stand by me " was a wonderful musical moment.:tup::loveeyes:
Now that my friends are telling me " No, I just turned off the TV and went to the movies", I can't help thinking that they all missed a very nice event....:love::love:

Didn‘t have time to watch the wedding- had a more important occasion going on here. Birthday party with my now 6 year old and 10 of his friends- was a good bye party from Kindergarden as well because he will go to school in September. School starts at the age of 6 here.
11 little ones, a bowling center, many little toes and fingers and cake afterwards. For my little one the most important day this year :)

Wow - what a dog remainsilly! When is your big day?

The German word in my area is Bierdeckel. The slang word is Füzal or Dackerl. I am sure in Ludmillas area there will be even more slang words.

Weather here is nice, but working another long shift today. Maybe enjoying the nice weather tomorrow.

Ugh. I don't understand why the weather must act up all the time. A very old lady told my mother when she was a young girl: the weather is as crazy as people.
She was right.

Similar to Senf's area we call them Bierdeggala or Bierfilzla. But, I am pretty sure that there are tons of really old dialect words for it that no one knows nowadays.
I think I would have been to coward to scratch such a dog.
Aha. So there will be a race in your future! Cool.

Hehe. Good choice watching the wedding. ;)
I liked her dress, pretty and very elegant, but tbh I was not overwhelmed by it. Watching the hats and dresses of the others is the biggest fun! I liked Pippa's dress a lot, too. And there was a US actress with a white hat and a read dress that I liked, too.
The gospel choir was great - esp the woman that was the conductor. She looked awesome! :smile:
I bet many people of the "I did not watch it" party watched it nevertheless. :biggrin:

This sounds like an eventful Saturday. I hope you were not alone with all those kids and someone helped you! I would freak out if I had to watch so many kids on my own. :shocked:

I am foolish around dogs & become a giggly kid. Usually, they take pity on me & tolerate the madness. Usually.;)
As long as my bike keeps getting patched back together, I'll ride.
Plus, some of those dumb clipless cleat shoes are on way to me.:doh:
