my kitty - the great psycotic one - knows I am sick. he is leaving me alone and not spending everytwo seconds begging to go out. and last night when I went to bed - instead of asking for snacks - he just curled up next to me. after DH gave him snacks he came for a long scriting session from me. good boy.

My psychotic kitty is being pretty nice. The relatively normal one thought it would be great fun to jump down onto my tummy multiple times. Bad move. But later on she came and laid down on me, which was nice.

Told ya she'd coming dancing back into the thread...

You'd have been disappointed if I didn't.

Re: Charles, even if he wasn't going, I would think that they might run into problems with many of their guests going to the funeral. I was thinking there would be a problem with the funeral getting the press, but on second thought, I think that they might like that.

It's possible his Mum can't attend because she's the Head of the Anglican Communion.

Huh. Didn't the two churches stop hissing and spitting and calling each other "beeyotch" a while back?

Yes and No. You still can't legally inherit the British throne if you are, or are married to, a Catholic.

I think they just glare quietly at each other now.

Actually, I think they make nice face-to-face and then roll their eyes forever and make little "What. Ev." handsigns behind each other's backs.

Yes, JZ, I think you've got it.

Favorite Royals anecdote:

When William was filling out the ledger for Eton, he leaned over to his mum and asked, "What religion are we?"

I think they just glare quietly at each other now.

They are British, after all. Restrained social freeze-outs when they meet at the same parties.

I imagine "Whee, we're married!" celebrations wouldn't look good on the day of a major funeral. Camilla's staying home, probably muttering nasty words under her breath.
