As any long-time reader of this blog would know, our time in England hasn't all been shits and giggles. However, in the grand scheme of things, I don't regret anything that's happened, since we've always managed to recover and come out all the better for it.
Yesterday though, marks my biggest missed opportunity so far and I fear I'll live to regret it.
Woking, being the most environmentally friendly town in England is hosting a special re-release of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth in the cinema. It's being preceded by another envirnomentally-minded short film spearheaded by none other than old Big Ears himself, Bonny Prince Charlie, who was in town yesterday to open the event.
As it turns out, the manager at work got an invitation to attend this gala event but wasn't interested at first and then lost the invitation (That I was intending to steal or photocopy or whatever to try and get in.) In any case, I was lazy and didn't get around to thinking about it until one of our service users called us to say that she'd just met the Man Who Would be King, shook his hand and he made the astounding observation to her(As she emerged from the mall): "Been doing a little shopping?"
*Sigh* That could have been me. What will probably be my only opportunity to meet royalty was squandered because I chose to got to work and play boules in the basement hallway.
