#Microblog Monday 409: Feeling Far Away

I had a random thought last week that we should take the ChickieNob back to London to be there on the street during the funeral. The Wolvog loves London because he loves cities, but the ChickieNob has felt isolated about having big feelings about Queen Elizabeth while being surrounded by people who do not have big feelings about Queen Elizabeth. We’d all go over to support ChickieNob and give her that closure.
But the cost of a last minute ticket would be over $2000 per person.
So funeral on television instead. Our body is in the US this morning. Our heart is in the UK.

You probably had a better view in your living room. 😉 But yeah, there’s something about actually being there on an historic occasion, isn’t there? Perhaps some day…
It was quite extraordinary simply watching it, though wasn’t it? I imagined being in Westminster Cathedral, and the sound of the organ and choir. It would have been amazing. I went to bed after the London leg of the funeral, and have recorded the Windsor part (as by then it was very very late here). Will watch the rest of it later.
Abbey, not Cathedral. I knew it was wrong when I typed it! lol
I’ve been thinking about you and your family… I heard some of it on my way in to school today. It would be amazing to see the funeral in person, but I agree with Loribeth — you probably got a better view from home! Thinking of you and your UK hearts.
My sister took a job transfer to her company’s London office in April, and her family has been living just outside the city (Egham, near Windsor Castle) since mid-July. In addition to the cost of airfare, she said that every hotel in London has been at 100% capacity for a week or more. Makes sense.
