June 4 2022 - Jubilee? Old News

 

It looks like the Queen's Jubilee is "old news" now and it isn't even finished.  No updates.  The Live Streams are from a day ago - the view from Buckingham Palace headline says Further live coverage is expected.  I was hoping for the view from yesterday.  Too bad I didn't watch yesterday as it seems to be gone in the formerly live stream. The "View from the Balcony" is an achievement for the masses.  We would be in "The Queen's Place".  See what it was like to have the experience.   Here's the link to the NPR pictures of the event HERE. Seeing that mass of people from the balcony?  I guess it is OK in pictures.  It would be quite a big experience live.  I guess we've seen too many rock band concerts and sports events for this to be novel for us now.  What do you think? Here are the fountains at Longwood.  These are definitely in line with a Royal event.    Read more daily posts here: marilyncornwellblog.com Purchase works here: Fine Art America- marilyncornwellart.com Redbubble - marilyncornwellart.ca

There isn't one in the picture as it is a little robot.  It works safely around pets and children, it remains discreet and silent, it mows both day and night and even in nasty weather.  It 'clips' rather than cuts, and mows based on grass growth rate.  Given you can monitor it from you smart phone, wouldn't it qualify as part of the Internet of Things?  Other selling features include being able to find its charging station by following a boundary wire.  Here is Reader's digest's advise on how to 'treat your lawn to a healthy tonic':   Many homeowners have had great success with homemade lawn “tonics” made from simple products that might already be on your pantry shelves. The recipes vary, but most share these common ingredients: 1 can non-light beer 1 can non-diet soda pop 1 cup ammonia 1 cup liquid dish soap 1 cup molasses or corn syrup 1/2 cup mouthwash There's an explanation for this recipe of ingredients and their benefits.  (really!) We're looking at the newly renovated Longwood Fountain Garden.  Over $90 million was spent to re-landscape the area and to introduce the latest technology in fountain displays.
