Thanks

BookWorm's washing machine broke down, she bought another one but it's not working either. Two-hour drive with it in the car. Problems with power-cuts, and her generator rattles.
Guardian enquiry into 80M worth of royal jewellery that's not in the Royal Collection. B/W wondered if some might be in other castles in a safe, or may just not have been returned to the Royal Collection. The policy is that gifts to the Monarch become part of the Royal Collection and are held in trust for the Collection.
The Palace is refusing to explain who has custody, and declined to explain why they weren't in the Royal Collection. But may be added to it later. ....Something to do with a cut-off date, 1995?
Gossip escalating about the Stoat's Coronation attendance, and BookWorm at mo unable to verify any of it.
As the Stoat will travel with a therapist to see him through, and BP refused to pay for PA's guru, who will pay for the Stoat's?
Stoat threatening jpnot to attend if the atmosphere is as toxic as at HM's funeral, but B/W said the RF couldn't have done more for him. She hopes he's scanned and seated in front of Johnny.
KC may well face a few protesters himself, and polls suggest not too much enthusiasm for the event.
More later.
