Queue Day Two
The queue to pay respectsto the Queen faltered a little when it reached capacity. The queue was closed for a few hours and then on reopening, the wait time shot up to 20 hours. The queue is still good natured. The main event today was King Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward standing vigil over the coffin for 15 minutes in the evening.
As for us, the weather sort of pegged us back a little. It was cloudy most of the day and the rain arrived around midday. Not too heavy, but it was long lasting.
We were in the apartment, Linda sitting out on the balcony early on in her reading chair.

The rains arrival in the afternoon put back a planned swim until we couldn't wait any longer and went down anyway. It was only raining a little as we swam around the pool.

Dinner tonight was at IHOP. We didn't bothr waiting for the sunset as the rain was still coming down as we drive off.
