Time passes quickly on the weekend.

Certainly when summer rolls around I take the time to put sheets of aluminium foil on my windows, else it gets oppressively hot in our bedroom.

But my money is definitely on grow op.

Outside shutters exist but for the price of shutters on 2 windows I could have put air cons into 4 rooms.

Window awnings are pretty effective at keeping heat from the windows. They also give a house a pretty neat look. At the least they make it easier for an AC to work.

Trees are also an excellent and easy way to provide shade. Maybe not the fastest but your kids will be thanking you.

Halfway through a book on Witches during the reign of James 1 & you could exchange much of the public 'hysteria' over witches almost word for word for immigrants / illegals / asylum seekers / refugees in TYOOL 2024.

I'm sure there's scope here for some kind of novel / film / series / drama paralleling then and now. (Not something I have the faintest talent for!)

Back to the theory that William is the father of Rose's twins, the twitter hivemind noticed that Rose Hanbury's 'eldest'* son was stood next to William for the official coronation balcony shot rather than George.



[*] As the twins were born at the same time by caesarian section, they chose the heaviest baby as the eldest child.

If they are identical twins then you can't tell them apart by anything other than weight. The heavier one is always Morty and the smaller one is always Ferdy. If Ferdy gains weight then he becomes Morty. That's just how it's always worked.

The monarchy operates on Hollywood rules. No one's dead until you see a body and even then they can sometimes get a replacement from the multiverse.

I need something to present that has all of it written down in one place. I've been talking to someone who's too young to really remember it, trying to impress upon them just how insane that period was and how completely the British establishment turned to crush him, and my own memory isn't good enough to properly describe it without just sounding hyperbolic.
