Some non rain in between the rain
my life
Okay, it is now officially the day before my wedding!
So – I guess this is goodbye from me for a week or so! Today will be spent doing the decorations and of course tomorrow is the wedding itself, and then the honeymoon! I’ll be posting pictures every now and then (probably quite a lot actually, heh) but I won’t actually… be here I guess? So if, say, the Last Jedi trailer or whatnot drops, I may be here mashing Like buttons, but I probably won’t be answering messages!
Anyway… I will see you all soon. :D
It’s the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death today and the light entertainment shows are full of nothing else but talk about it. Strangely, I can actually remember Diana’s death really clearly, perhaps because it was the first Big Historical Happening I was old enough to understand? I was nine years old and I got up early to play with my Duplo and Lego. So I was doing that, and then my dad came into the room and said very sombrely (he does that) “People are going to be very sad today, Sarah.” I imagine my mind jumped about all over the place before I said “Why?” and he said, “Princess Diana died.” And then I suppose I went back to the Duplo. For the rest of the day while we were doing normal things, I remember there were newsflashes coming on over the car radio and constantly interrupting it, just repeating again and again “Princess Diana has died in car crash in Paris” etc etc.
Looking back on it it seems so surreal, that the whole country came to a standstill for someone who wasn’t really in a position of much political power or anything. I suppose some people saw her as a symbol of a more modern and down-to-earth royal family (although when she died she wasn’t technically a member of it?) and I know she did some very good work for AIDS awareness, but all the sobbing on TV, that was really… weird. No-one seemed to stop talking about it for months afterwards.
