I had the Pink Panther 2 playing on tv while painting, it ended and some Hallmark-ish movie started. Let me see the titleAdriana Trigliani's Very Valentine. Don't know what's going on but there's a single female so everyone wants her to not be single anymore. Something about royalty then, and then how Smegsy trappedfound her prince so she should too.

I don't have cats, I'm ever so much a dog lover, but need some advice. The reason for me asking is very long winded so I'll spare you.
Can a house cat go and live with two outdoorsy type cats? I can't see why not, but hey ho, said house cat might see the cat flap and want to venture into the great outdoors. Seriously though, is it a done thing or a definite no no.
So now she doesn't feel excluded. One can translate that to:A source close to Meghan. So Meghan then.
Don't be silly, the paper dresses might actually fit.Just found this .......View attachment 1982176
And these ........ could be Smegs' new outfits when the money runs out ...... front only paper dresses ..... great as long as she doesn't turn her back on anybody!

Surely if the £249,000 PA subsidy is cut it will stay with the Duchy of Lancaster & hence go to the Exchequer, not into KC's pocket?Thanks @LadyMuck
On the Stoats going to the Met Gala, Anna Wintour didn't invite them last year so why would they be invited this year? This could be wishful thinking by the Ho.
Not a popular subject below but BookWorm is going to deal with it anyway, and what she is saying is factually correct.
On PA being removed from Royal Lodge by KC, Andrew has a paid for lease (75 years?) that cannot be broken unless PA breaks the terms.
HM paid a stipend of 249,000 to PA annually out of her income from the Duchy of Lancaster, now under the control of the King.
It has been said that PA's annual subsidy of 249,000 is to be cut from April.
KC receives 24 Million Pounds a year from the Duchy of Lancaster regardless, so cutting PA's annual subsidy of 249,000 from the same Duchy means this money will go in KC's pocket.
The Palace spin about slimming the Monarchy by doing this is misleading and not factually correct. Ditto other Royals.
Removing PA's annual stipend means that he will only have his Navy pension and will not be able to afford the upkeep of Royal Lodge where he has lived since 2004.
In 2016 The Sovereign Grant was increased from 15% to 25%, and is supposed to revert to 15% again in 2027. This increase was to cover the cost of repairs to Buckingham Palace. The 10% annual increase amounts to between 32 Million and 36 Million p.a. Multiply this by 10 years. Are these really the renovation costs? The building is largely empty.
There are serious concerns among BP senior aides about how things are now phrased in the media. For example the narrative that KC is slimming down the Monarchy. Other examples include KC personally intervening to divert money from wind farms to the public. Misleading.
Highgrove and Castle Mey were also mentioned as now being "warm public places" with KC helping the poor.. The reality is that KC has extended the opening hours and just thrown in a free cup of tea. The ticket prices are the same but more money is being generated by the extra hours open. Misleading.
BookWorm's source asked for clarity from BP but was told to "let it go". Aides are worried about these new media PR tactics and Hollywood gaslighting that reek of media hype. This will lead to a breakdown of trust in the Monarchy and give ammunition to those who want to damage it. All warnings have fallen on deaf ears.

If PA's stipend is cut in April he won't be able to afford the upkeep of Royal Lodge. The upkeep and maintenance will be part of the Lease Agreement that PA has. If he can't afford it, he will be in breach of the terms of his Lease and could be forced to leave.
Apparently HM made plans to look after PA so why might he have to rely on his Navy pension? Did he spend it on paying VG? If so he's toast.
October 2022. What has happened in the interim?
"According to The Mirror‘s editor Russell Myers, the prince “won’t be getting kicked out” of his Royal Lodge home as Charles has no power to do so per the plans Queen Elizabeth set in stone before she died. Myers also claimed that the late queen left her second-oldest son a nice fortune to ensure that he would be taken care of after she was gone."
BW is being daft if she’s questioning the BP renovation costs. The reports I’ve read basically say that the ten year increase might be a massive amount of money but it will still barely scratch the surface of what the building truly needs. There is stuff that risk wise has been assessed as an imminent threat to the entire place; ie one spark away from a Notre Dame. It isn’t being frittered or funnelled into anyone’s pockets if that’s what she’s implying. The politicians wouldn’t have handed over the extra if they didn’t know a building which is in constant government use and is emblematic of our country is in dire threat.Thanks @LadyMuck

The Adriano Trigliani book is very good and not sweet sickly hallmark.
I had the Pink Panther 2 playing on tv while painting, it ended and some Hallmark-ish movie started. Let me see the titleAdriana Trigliani's Very Valentine. Don't know what's going on but there's a single female so everyone wants her to not be single anymore. Something about royalty then, and then how Smegsy trappedfound her prince so she should too.
The funnier bit is that the heroine has a shoe-making businessOh and the guy who looks to be the hero is a chef
Thank you. I don't know, is the answer. So can a house cat become an outdoor cat?
The gruesomes continue to hibernate and stay quiet. They're planning something, either that or divorce proceedings are underway.
All the H&M cult members can't get enough of Tessa Dunlop!Just watching the Mail Confidential and Tessa Dunlop is on, my heart sank as she usually spoils any M + H conversation, however, she was unusually muted and measured in her responses. I think she may have realised being their champion is not doing her career any good, however many TV shows it has had her guesting on.
Ah yes. It didn't turn out to be too bad. Nice change from the usual stuff that's on the tv nowadays. The lead actress quite reminded me of a Bollywood actress that I loved as a kid.The Adriano Trigliani book is very good and not sweet sickly hallmark.
The heroine is actually quite feisty and independent.

"Feisty and independent". A phrase that can never be used to describe Smegs.
Anyone up for a game? What adjectives could never describe Smegs?
she means fits you like a tea bag, obvs.

Restoration of Buckingham Palace is costed at about £369Million until 2027, compare with Palace of Westminster which could be up to £22bn.
