This weekend is the queens jubilee here. 70 years in service the longest running queen in England’s history. I have not been taking it too seriously asking people what you doing for Lizzy’a weekend? And things like that. It’s nice though everyone gets two days off, an extra two days as well. Although some people will tell you it’s only one extra day, it feels a bit like July 4th mixed with Easter maybe? Because here the queen is head of the church.
It’s still a bit strange, they even made a new underground line after her, and gave her a free years pass. Like she’s gunna ride it?
But I am excited for the last day of the weekend because all around the uk people are organising street parties. I know some of my neighbors but in England you don’t talk the same as the US, especially not small town, and I often hang around a bit too long in the conversation. It will be nice to be chatting. It’s just a weird time, everyone is freaking out about an old rich women but it brings people together in a weird way, and a lot of people do seem much more excited.
