Queen Elizabeth's 1st Prime Minister was Winston Churchill, born in 1874. Her latest Prime Minister is Liz Truss, born in 1975. 101 years apart. Their lifespans cover almost 150 years to date. Queen Elizabeth has been queen for about 1/2 of that time. Now that's when you know you're old.

Not at all. Although were I granted one request, it would be for her to exert some pressure to straighten out the mess that is Heathrow Airport so Wifey and I can go back to traveling around the UK without the fear of a nightmare return trip through that zoo.

Speaking of 96-year-old Aunt Liz, the news this morning is reporting that the Queen is under some sort of non-usual medical care today. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.....

Royal family heading to Buckingham Palace. That doesn't sound good.

Prince Charles was already at Balmoral, Prince William and Kate are on their way, and Prince Harry and Meghan are in Germany and also heading to Scotland to be with the royal family. "London Bridge Down" are the words that nobody wants to hear right now, as IIRC it is the official code phrase that the queen has passed and launches the funeral and transition of power scripts....

I have a question for Murf the Surf - Does Ontario have new highway signs in storage to replace the QEW signs with KCA signs on the change of monarchs, or will they always call it the QEW in her honor? Just curious.
KCA = King Charles Autobahn (wishful thinking).

Well, just finished painting three entry doors on the house, talk about dragging ass. Took better part of six hours including prep work, painting the doors and trim. Had to clean up twice, Front Door is different color than the deck door and garage entrance door.
Still need to do the overhead garage door, but a little more involved in painting that. Typically use Sherwin Williams paints and the overhead door is oil base and our local S/W stores can't get oil base paint. So now it's a primer coat and acrylic latex. Builder originally used oil base on all the doors except the front door. Not sure why, but anyway had the other doors replaced so started new with latex. So will wait a couple of weeks to tackle that, back and knees need to catch up a bit before putting them through any more abuse. Getting to old for this, used to be able to get all of it painted in less than a day. Who knows, maybe next time hire it done.

I need to get up in our Lilliputian attic next week and run Ethernet cable. Not looking forward to that. Contorting these old bones into tight spaces is not fun at all. I bought a 50ft electrician's snake today that I hope will keep me from having to get into the really tight spaces.

In the future for some things I'll probably do that. Getting too old to contort. =/ |

You mentioned pacing yourself, I guess I will have to get used to pacing myself doing bigger projects. Always was one to get done without taking too many breaks. Does that include taking a nap in-between? 😂
