It’s only a very small amount of Royally owned land that you can’t go through, most of it has footpaths and bridleways. I can’t see any problem with the royal kids going hiking, although I imagine camping might be a bit troublesome it the paparazzi got caught wind of it happening.

Yes, but only on the poor, working, and middle classes.

In the UK, there is a Duke of Edinburgh award which challenges young people to hike and volunteer and be well-rounded.  It literally forces people to do physical stuff outdoors to complete.  It was created by the Duke.  This is nonsense.  Their great-grandpa was the impetus for outdoorsy awards for university…

That's such awesome news, I know you're going to kill it at the new office!

Maybe? It’s probably more passive than a meditation session but I’m sure that being in a meditative state can’t hurt/might help. If nothing else, it would be fun to check out right? If it’s close and not too expensive then why not?

Someone dressed a Pomeranian dog as Paddington Bear...and now the world seems a slightly better place to be in than it did yesterday

For some reason I feel like drinking tonight.

Hello Emily! I’m not sure if you even read the SNS comments but I wanted to tell you how nice it’s been having you here. 

So far, we’ve heard: 

She couldn’t have refused even if she’d wanted to. 

Switching up shoes helps with general foot fatigue/pain, not just with hot-spots and blisters. Even just bring two comfy pairs and trade off. The strain is a little different in each pair, it’ll help. (Or if space is tight, you could even try bringing two different insoles and switch between them.) Also foot massages…

The Queen understood what Boris was up to, but under the rules the Queen had no option but to agree to the porogation.

You say that, but if someone had asked you yesterday, “Who would you say is the world’s most beloved villain?” Would The Joker not be in your top 5?

She doesn’t have the power to do that. It would be a constitutional crisis for her to refuse. 

The queen refusing to shut down parliament (and asserting monarchal control) would have been a governmental crisis. She doesn’t veto things. She doesn’t make policy/procedural decisions. She’s a figurehead and diplomat. 

I picture her in her cozy drawing room having supper on her tv tray table and alternatively tisking or tittering depending on the scene. Also with a small glass of lightly chilled chardonnay on the side.

I picture the Queen sitting in bed, watching The Crown on her iPad and elbowing Philip forcefully whenever she disagrees with something.

I was today years old when I learned that Pete Wentz is biracial.

(blinks forever) Pete Wentz is biracial?!?!? I have a son who is blond and blue eyed and also half Mexican and half white. And I don’t mean Mr Slowtrain is a 90% Spanish, super light skinned Mexican. He’s from a very rural town and has both a forehead and last name that is legit Aztec. I, of all people, shouldn't be…

The matching outfits just brought me to the realization that these two look like twins. Kaitlynn is the business twin, Miley is the edgy one. I’ve always been weirded out by people who date their own doppleganger. Or in Mike Pence’s case, marry them. It’s really narcissistic, which is a vibe I already get from Miley.
