The Queen is having her tea now
Feb 14th, 2008 by Accidental Thinker
It’s not often that you find yourself discussing the tea drinking habits of royalty, especially during a romantic Valentine’s Day lunch with your sweetie.
Then again, it’s not many sweeties who think to set their watch to the Queen’s tea time.
But every day at precisely 12:20 PM, the alarm on Kent’s new watch goes off. And every time I’m around to hear it, he gives me the same line.
“The Queen is having her tea now.”
I have no idea if he has really taken the trouble to:
- Discover the precise time the Queen takes her tea,
- Calculate the time difference from London, and
- Learn how to set the alarm on his watch for the proper alert.
But he persists in claiming the alarm means the Queen is taking her tea, so I’ll go with it. If only because it makes for highly entertaining conversation.
And because he’s my sweetie, so I naturally adore his creative thinking. 🙂
He must be talking about “HIS Queen” and not that one over on the other side of the pond. I think that would be just about 8:00 a.m. here in the Midwest! ~ jb///
He doesn’t say which queen of what. He does seem to have a Roman Tic.
