It was lovely to hear the cheer for King Charles. As I've commented on another youtube channel, the beginning of his reign has been like a baptism of fire. The portrait almost depicts him emerging on the other side of all that, stronger and more assured than ever. Long may he reign.
Oh good god can you imagine! She’d smirk herself into the middle of next week. I liked what Shauna said on the Scandal Mongers podcast, “we ALL know a Meghan type, so we saw her coming a mile away.” So true.
@@kathyw348 I heard about this rumour and believe we will never ever know the truth because Archiebucks and Invisibet will never officially be in the line of succession, so there'll never be DNA proof 😎.
I so agree! He has been laughed at, mocked, and blamed for Diana's woes. And criticized and hurt by his son, denied the love of his life, and even shunned. I love that he's finally coming into his own and being overwhelmingly accepted. He is definitely known as a dedicated workhorse despite the uphill battle with the public's perception of him! He will go down in history as a gracious and hardworking King.
How good is Queen Camilla doing successful podcasts at 75 with all her other duties. Well done! Blessings to King Charles Queen Camilla and all the wonderful members of our Royal Family. Love from Sydney Australia
I went to the doctor years ago with an ear infection. He asked me to remove my pants and put on a gown. I said “for an ear infection??” He said “sorry, I thought you said rear infection.” I was astonished.
@@lostNtx--I think that’s why she might have an outing before Christmas, because of the added attention. When I went thru chemo in 2013, it took a year to get through it but brain fog and fatigue would continue months after. I pray she takes all the time she can, so she has no setbacks from returning too soon. The healthy stability of her family is most important💕
Not wishing to be a party pooper but Catherine is taking it easy. Quite rightly but do get things in perspective. If she is attending any royal event, the hard work will be done by others. She will be travelling in a way where her comfort will be put first and attendance times will be cut short. She has strength of character and is very resilient. She will be ok.
Talking of Bridgerton, that actress from the show who said the Royal family was too white, I wonder if she thought the Kings’ who met Harry in Nigeria were too black?
Re: embarrassing moments. When my daughter was very small, we were doing a major shop for Christmas at the supermarket which was very busy. She was about 2 or so and sitting in the kiddy seat, whilst I frantically lobbed stuff out of the trolley onto the conveyor belt as well as filling bags at the other end, and still a massive amount yet to unload from the trolley. Suddenly, one of those moments of silence occurred and a small childish voice piped up with a pearl of wisdom - "My mummy's got a furry botty!" Heaven knows what triggered that comment but she looked as pleased as punch whilst I went beetroot & half the queues around me sniggered. I carried on loading/unloading/packing when another silence descended. My daughter actually leaned over the trolley to tell the cashier "Daddy has a snake in his trousers!" Now it was loud guffaws from the crowds. Where she had got these pearls of wisdom from, I have no idea but I didn't shop in there again for a VERY long time!!!! Mortified! Not content with that, over Christmas, my in-laws were staying so they hid early in the living room to see her surprised face when she saw Santa had been. In she toddled - stunned silence at the twinkly tree and presents - then a loud "Bloody hell, he's been!" And folk wonder why mummies drink...
Along the same lines I’ve seen vinyl “stickers” that can be put on windows, mugs, laptops etc. that can be made with any phrase. Then we could put on our own cup/glass ❤
@@paulchristian7693 the point of the pink and coral was to negate the militant nature of the uniform he is wearing and the sword he is carrying, and there are plants and animals hidden in the background, you really have to see it in person, it's just stunning.
I was visiting my Uncle who lived in an airport community. He had this fantastic outdoor shower that I absolutely loved and took a long luxurious shower in. Several small planes flew overhead and I gleefully waved to them. Later on one of his neighbors came by for a visit and invited us to fly to town in the morning for a Sunday brunch with other community members. I’d never flown and was thrilled by it. As we took off I breathlessly watched out the window. We banked left and flew right over my uncles property. There was the shower and I could read the word dial in the bar of soap. It was a shock. When we arrived at the brunch with all the other pilots I got a standing ovation. I had to laugh. It was pretty funny and the brunch was a great reward! 😂 I was pretty good looking in those days. ❤ lucky fellas
How wonderful to hear the ovation the king received. I'm sure the king was very touched with this positive affirmation. When my chidren were young we always told them they would never be bored if they read. They could travel anywhere and any time. They would also learn a lot about the language.
My father was an avid sailor. As a child, when we were becalmed it was fun to "whistle up a wind'. It comes from an old sailors' superstition that a wind could be raised by whistling for it.
You be petty. The real royal family are good. Those two are appalling. Apparently planning lots more tours as she sees herself as successful. She is so deluded.
I got it! It's like you giving your accord to Shauna to be petty, as the duo deserves it! @chimerat8012 got it wrong, but I'm sure she'll get it now...
I loved the portrait of King Charles at first sight - it is just so different to all other portraits. His face and hands were spot on and the butterfly was a lovely to mean lots of love before the advent of text. I sent my partner a postcard with "Wish you were here. LOL" He was most offended! My spooky story is going out for lunch with a cousin, he asked me if I wanted to have a look in a second hand book shop, in we went. I decided to look for an author Mum liked, found a group of paperback books by the author, picked one and instead of reading the back cover, I opened the front cover and it was signed by Mum's sister who had died many years earlier. As if that wasn't bad enough, we went to a second bookshop and my cousin picked out a book which had a photo of his dead uncle's yacht on the front - that was a day to remember!!!!
The funny phone answering incident reminds me of a nurse I used to work with. Her 5 year old daughter answered the phone and said to the person, " Mommy can't come to the phone because she is playing with scissors." The person of course asked, "Why is she playing with scissors?" Her daughter replied, "We are going to the pool and she is trimming her pee-pee hairs!"🤣🤣🤣 I have never forgotten that one!!
I once went to the local shop and a man standing behind me said”are those your knickers “ just as I was about to slap him in the face he pointed to my feet and yes my knickers were on the floor . They had made their way out of the bottom of my trousers. Obviously from the day before as I was wearing clean knickers but yesterdays trousers. The shade of red I turned has never been seen . 🤣❤️🏴
Hi Shauna, Two years ago, my hubby and I moved to a new area in country Victoria. We arranged horse transport for my beloved 22yo horse. My husband kept contact all day with the horse mover as we were both such sooks about his welfare. Just as he arrived at our new property, my husband got a new message and advised the man that he'd be at the gate shortly to assist with unloading Joe. He signed off with, "Love you XOXO" as he always does with me. Imagine his horror as he met this nice man, shook his hand, and then tried to grin when the man said, "I'd like to return your lovely sentiments, but I think my wife would object" My poor hubby 😅
Hi Shauna, when my darling Dad was ‘having a poo in peace’ and someone rang for him, mum would say in her best voice, ‘he’ll call you back, he’s busy moving something!’ 😂
Hi Shauna I’m from NZ but live in Italy and just wanted to share this funny moment with you. I had just moved to a town near Pisa with my husband. We were living in an apartment on the 3rd floor and my kitchen overlooked the main shopping street. It was the middle of summer and I was making something with my Prestige pressure cooker. The old model (1975) the one with the 15lb weight that sat on the steam vent that made an intermittent shushing sound as it released the excessive pressure. Can you imagine my shock as I’m concentrating on my cooking efforts to find a fireman coming through my open window to rescue me from a “gas leak”!! I hardly spoke a word of Italian but finally got the message across it was the pot on the stove making the noise!! Pressure cookers were not in fashion those days in Italy.😁
Bridgerton is entertaining but lets not pretend its historically accurate , Queen Charlotte was NOT black , She had some Portuguese heritage, Portuguese people are White Europeans and both her parents were white , There are numerous images of her parents and siblings available , Its only Americans that think Portuguese and Spanish people aren't white , Even if she did have some Moorish heritage she would have looked slightly North African ( Arabic) not Sub Saharan
@@NiniM8154 Not all Americans I am sure, but we are classified as hispanic or latinos in the USA and we are neither. At the very least we are Latin ( from the Roman occupation) or Iberian from being in the Iberian Peninsula ,but ask any portuguese person and they will tell you that we are not hispanic, that's from the Spanish occupation of South America. It's very offensive to us actually. And I have heard many American Hispanic people saying that they are not white. Silly to compartimalize people in boxes.
I've got a bat story, too! When I was 10--many, many years ago--we moved to a big, drafty old house. We discovered on the first night that there were bats in the old house! My little sister and I ran downstairs screaming, certain that Dracula was after us! We always had bats getting in that house, and for many years we dispatched them with a broom, I'm sorry to admit, til I found a few little ones that had gotten trapped in the basement and died. Their little faces were precious, and after that I wouldn't let my brother hurt them...and we had a little black cat named Lucky with a face like a bat, so I absolutely couldn't stand the thought of injuring them!
I've been a HUGE reader from the start; can't even begin to imagine how many libraries' worth of books I've read in my 74 years! Oh, the places I've been...
Your 'undies on the balcony' story reminded me of something that happened recently to my sister. She'd just returned from a trip to England but had left her suitcase downstairs in the living room. In the morning, she needed some underwear so ran downstairs naked to dig through her suitcase. Her partner was there, talking to his colleague, which was nothing unusual. After about 30 seconds, he calmly said, 'this is a Zoom meeting, Ali', and she realized she was in full view of his computer!
At one stage scammers were pestering us. They detected a fault with our computer and my husband was asked to open windows. He had them so confused as he kept on asking which windows dining room lounge bedroom. They ended up swearing at him and cutting the call.
Good morning from the US. Love your program Shauna and thank you for being so thoughtful of your listeners. Not wanting to charge us $68 for a $4 mug 😊❤️
What a happy "Gossip Before Bed." I guffawed through many of the stories. But when the one from a woman whose husband thought LOL meant "Lots of Love" came up, my reaction was to say out loud, "Oh, what a precious boy", and then burst into tears. Now I'll never read or write LOL again without thinking of him and what a treasure he is. Laughter and blessings to all!
I'm 75. I too read the Angelique series in my youth and was swept away into a wonderful world. I was utterly stunned to here your comment about Queen Camilla reading those books. I forgotten how much pleasure those books brought me. I don't know if they are still available but I'll be on the hunt now. Thanks. I do enjoy your programs and just loved your conversation with Andrew Gold ❤
I loved them too! But they were a bit racy for a young girl! The husband and wife team authors had a bitter parting, and a huge fight over the literary ownership. Sadly, the one where she goes to Quebec with husband no 1 (Rescator) the whole novel never got published in English, only in French. Was itAngelique and the Demons? Would love to read the whole of that novel stitched back together.
Like you, the portrait shook me the first moment I saw it but then fell in love with it. It is UTTERLY King Charles. Unexpected bold, arty, different and confronting. He may do ""the quiet man" most of the time but his history is is of a man walking a path he determined. His face in that portrait shows his true character.
After reading your comment, along with other people's here, I changed my mind, instead of feeling a bit uneasy when watching it, NOW I see the real King Charles, the "bold, arty, different and confronting" and determined man he is. A man that went through the burning pyre and came out unscathed, like the Phoenix he is.
"....Of a man walking a path he determined" You can take that literally as well. I often picture him at Balmoral, walking down a path dressed in his Kilt.
Hi Shauna, live in Northumberland , England and was 💔 when the sycamore tree at sycamore gap was felled. Some may think what's special about a tree, but it stood beside the Roman wall and became an icon when it appeared in the Film Robin Hood... Prince of thrives. To the people of Northumberland it was a very special place xx
I love the portrait Shauna, though I didn't at first. I found sitting quietly with it for a time, it gave me the feeling of someone with a strong and very loving character. The artist did a wonderful job with his facial features, especially the eyes...he captured a laugh just waiting for a reason to be heard. Yes, it's unusual, but so is King Charles.
Regarding the bat … I used to look after fruit bats and someone often came to us with her ‘pet’ bat, called “Balls” (imagine why). She used to loan him to tv and film sets. So later, I was watching tv with my mum, it was a Dracula film and suddenly I recognised the (fruit) bat and shouted “it’s Balls”. She replied “it’s not that bad” 😂 I then had to explain 😂
Shauna, I'm expecting to hear this one told by you next week! I can hear you 'breaking up' with your laughter now inside my head. ( Aussie reference everyone). And yes, you've made it inside my head!!!
I’m glad you found it funny. Apparently the owner had bottle fed ‘Balls’, he was very calm around people and fruit bats are so gorgeous up close, he was lovely. The woman used to have him hanging upside down around her neck. I also looked after the vampire bats, not as pretty and very much smaller so they would scurry away from you. I still had to have the rabies prevention injections though
I love that quote about reading!! I have to tell you a little story about the video game, Age of Empires. My children absolutely loved it and i used to moan about how much time they spent playing it.. until a certain incident. I home schooled my kids starting in Grade 5. I chose a curriculum that included early history. We were doing a section on Britain and the kings. I excitedly did research and sat down with them. I mentioned a date and instantly all of them piped up and said: "are we doing the battle of Agincourt"? Well, i was stunned. They brought out a thick booklet... the instruction booklet for Age of Empires. Needless to say, it became our history book for a time. Just shows, i was too quick to judge😂
The portrait.. I found the red startling @ first but as you say in the photo with the frame it’s stunning. & I love how I see Prince William in King Charles’ face. I also love that Queen Camilla felt the artist captured King Charles as she sees him through love
Hello again Shauna and all of your fans. Your reader comment on your Aussie pronunciation of whizzel (whistle) 😊 made me think of a similar one that tripped me up and I still laugh about. I love the RUclips channel Tiny House Big Living and truly enjoy Bryce who is from New Zealand. When I first discovered his channel, I was watching him late at night because I often struggle falling asleep. Well I was kind of dozing off during the episode and I suddenly was wide awake because something that startled my brain. I ran the episode back a few times to hear it again, trying to grasp what I was hearing. Bryce was summarizing the amazing home but what had startled me awake was him emphasizing that his favorite thing was “the incredibly big deck”. How he pronounced it with his New Zealand accent…to my southern Tennessee ears, he was saying deck like we pronounce a man’s name that starts with D and also has a K in it. 😳🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Being half asleep, I had to run it back much further to get my groggy mind to grasp what he was saying.🤦🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️😊🤭 I still get a chuckle every time I hear him pronounce deck on his videos. To this 61 year old southern girl, I enjoy a good laugh even when it is slightly off color. Needless to say, it was awhile before I could fall asleep after that. 😊😁🤭 I certainly enjoy your fun filled gossips before bed . I thank you for your all of the time you give to us each week and look forward to Wednesdays because of them. 💗💗💗
When my husband and I first married we bought a small house out in the country. At night we would sit out on the deck and just marveling how beautiful the stars were. I noticed that there were birds that came out at night, so I said to my husband,” I never knew birds flew around at night! “ he would always say something non-committal like, “yeah, they eat tons of mosquitoes!”. He was right. If we were being eaten by mosquitoes, when the birds showed up, within 10 minutes, the mosquitoes were gone! Finally, I said to him, “ I’m going to have to go to the library, look up to see what type of birds these are.“ Finally, he said, “my dear woman, these are bats!“ as he suspected, I ran, in terror, right into the house! I finally got over my fear and began to really appreciate the mosquito free nights. Unfortunately, the farmer behind us sold off 40 acres to a contractor to build a subdivision. By the time those houses went built the bats were gone and the mosquitoes returned!
I’ve laughed so hard I’ve cried listening to some of these stories!! 😂 The one about the father trying to have a poo in peace reminded me of years ago when our kids were little. We were running late for a family gathering. Apparently, they called the house to see if we were on our way. We didn’t know this until we got there and were told in front of a full room that our six year old had let them know her mom and dad were in the shower together and couldn’t come to the phone. 💀 ❤😂 For the record, we were just trying to save time because we knew we were running behind schedule. 😉
The painting was a bit of a surprise at first due to the red colour, the Kings face is beautiful so strong wonderfully done. I like the picture. With regards to the white tube dress Meghan wore it reminded me of a tube of toothpaste. Cheers ❤
For Australians, there is a wonderful exhibition of Ralph Heimans' work at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra. Exquisite paintings of King Charles, the late Queen Elizabeth.Prince Phillip and our Queen Mary of Denmark. Ends 27 May. I'm going again this weekend to take in all the artwork before it's gone.
@ronnie7075 Yes, that painting is wonderful. There is a smaller painting of Prince Phillips face in the Heimans exhibition, and it's very beautiful and expressive. There is a small one of the Queens face too.
I absolutely loved that portrait of the king from the first. It is striking and bold. It makes a real statement of a King not afraid of challenging people with radical ideas. And I loved loved loved the monarch butterfly. Brilliant!
I absolutely love these gossips before bed. You always make me laugh out loud. I live alone with my English Bulldog. She gives me the most judgmental look when I burst out laughing. I believe she thinks I’ve lost my mind by her look. Love to you all from Tennessee. 💗💗💗
I'd have my cat sleeping on my knee and burst out laughing and she would leap off then turn and glare at me, then settle on the couch next to me later.
I live in California but I was filled with emotion when the Queen was on the balcony at the end of the Platinum Jubilee and the crowd broke out with God Save the Queen💞.
The portrait of KC is brilliant. The face is perfect, right down to the fingers. If people want a perfect portrait, they should take a photo. The painting is so creative and dramatic. No evil there. Hell and Satan don't exist.
Hi Shauna 👋 it's 1pm in London and its raining 🌧. Again. My "sip" is a huge glass of Rose wine 🍷. I may not make it to the end of this video sober 😅 "sip"
I was doing a phone fund raiser for my college. On one phone call, a little girl answered, so I asked if her Mom was home and why I was calling. When she came back, she said Mommy said she wasn't home. She was so cute and so polite.
When I first saw the portrait, I immediately thought “WTH?”. But then, I was won over by its artistry and originality. SIP to King Charles for his choice of artist!
You aren't supposed to whistle on stage either (unless it's part of a script). The story is that in the time of sailing ships, sailors would use whistles to signal when to drop sails, etc. So sailors would pick up jobs working up in the theater rigging and using whistles to communicate. They would operate the ropes that would fly in backdrops, etc. But those were balanced by sandbags. So if you were to whistle on stage off script, you risked having a sandbag come hurtling down and hitting you on the head.
Embarrassing moment. My husband was away. My 3 year old wanted to sleep in my bed so I told her that she could if she was well behaved before bedtime. The next day I dropped her off at daycare and she ran in and announced at the top of her lungs “Guess who slept in mommy’s bed last night!” The embarrassed staff quickly grabbed her and ushered her off as I stood there trying to explain that it was my daughter that slept in mommy’s bed last night.
I agree with you Shauna. Wasn’t sure to begin with, but I decided to really look at it intently and to be honest, I loved it. King Charles has a commanding presence, a kindly but intelligent and perceptive face. He looks, in body as well as face, like a strong king, not the weak one that some people believe. The artist has done a great job. This is a bold and far different portrait to the normal ‘standard’ portraits of previous monarchs, quite modern and I personally think abstract. No one will ever forget this king, due in part to this portrait. It’s very impressive…❤
Hi Shauna! I’m new to this channel and I’m having so much fun watching through all the playlists! I have a spooky story-it’s actually my mum’s, but I distinctly remember the eerie feeling I had when she told me: Two years before I was born, my mum sadly lost her first baby when he was stillborn at full-term. She then had me, followed by my younger sister two years later. When my sister was a baby, mum would take us for walks around the botanical gardens near our home. One day we were doing that; my sister in the pram and me walking next to it. Mum was enjoying the beautiful day but (as she often did) found herself thinking about my brother, and how he’d be with us if he had lived. My sister was ready for a feed, so mum looked down at me on her left and said “come on Mackenzie, let’s go and feed the ducks now.” And was surprised when I didn’t react. That’s when she realised I wasn’t on her left, I was on the right and blissfully unaware she was talking to me. When she looked to her right again, she realised this child was taller than me. She could only see the back of their head, but the more she looked the more she realised this child was older, and was a boy. She said this part was hard to describe, but that all of a sudden realisation washed over her and she just knew that was her son, and he was walking with his little sisters. After that, she often felt that same feeling on our walks and she knew that her daughters had that protective big brother, even though we didn’t know it ❤
I have a bra story. I was trying on new bras in a changing room and could not get the zip up.. it zipped in front. My husband offered to help so i opened the door and as he strated to zip it up, it popped open and the ladies bounced out, almost smacking him in the face! I just hope no one saw that but we almost died laughing
I love period romances and have just started watching Bridgerton. My granddaughters came in while i had it on and i had paused it but the name was on the screen. They were a bit scandalised that i was watching it they had heard about it at school and were a bit taken aback. I was really amused they are 15 and 18, beautiful girls and i am 79. I am enjoying it! ❤
The urine in the cup episode reminded me of medical I had to have as part of the job application precedure,way back when. It was at a rather smart private doctors office, deep pile carpets and glossy magazines etc. Part of the procedure involved a urine sample and I was handed a Georgian silver gravy boat to use, cannot look at them in quite the same way anymore.
My mum was a great reader and I remember having a library card even before I went to school. She and I would come home with exciting piles of books. One of my favourite memories of my mum were Sunday mornings when I was a child. Dad would go off early to play golf and I would get into bed with mum. We would make up stories, often serials from the week before, and laugh and just have so much fun with our imaginations. My mum died 15 years ago at 94 (still a reader), but these memories are just like yesterday. So I'm glad you encouraged your boys to read as I still always have a few books on the go.
I have boycotted Bridgerton ever since the Black actress said the RF is too White!
I've gone a step further and boycotted Netflix since H&M were paid a small fortune to make some shows
Me too ,I was absolutely disgusted ,she got away with that 😑
Me too....

Beautiful analogy. Thank you.

Good on King Charles, I think that people are finally appreciating all the hard work he's done all of his life for the UK and Commonwealth.
I so agree! He has been laughed at, mocked, and blamed for Diana's woes. And criticized and hurt by his son, denied the love of his life, and even shunned. I love that he's finally coming into his own and being overwhelmingly accepted. He is definitely known as a dedicated workhorse despite the uphill battle with the public's perception of him! He will go down in history as a gracious and hardworking King.

I refuse to continue to watch Bridgerton since the black actress called the royal balcony too white!
Same here. I made a complaint to ITV for her 'terribly white' remark.
Like as if her balcony is not too black. Does she have asian, white or middle-eastern relatives on her balcony?
How about a window/car sticker with SIP on it? - something you can stick in the mail with just a stamp!
SIP from Oz
Along the same lines I’ve seen vinyl “stickers” that can be put on windows, mugs, laptops etc. that can be made with any phrase. Then we could put on our own cup/glass ❤
Y'all are so smart! That's a great idea!! I would TOTALLY buy one. SIP!
That works!
@lizlancaster1557 Great idea! Or maybe even a bookmark?
I really liked the Kings Portrait. It is incredibly powerful and captured his essence and likeness brilliantly.
I absolutely love King Charles' new portrait 💜 It's so captivating, the beautiful gentle yet strong face💪👑💪💜
Too much red in the background? 🤔🙉🙊🙈 The face was good.
@@paulchristian7693 the point of the pink and coral was to negate the militant nature of the uniform he is wearing and the sword he is carrying, and there are plants and animals hidden in the background, you really have to see it in person, it's just stunning.
I agree. It makes him look powerful but fair.
🎯!! Totally Agree! 💜🇨🇦
I agree with you, love it !
I was visiting my Uncle who lived in an airport community. He had this fantastic outdoor shower that I absolutely loved and took a long luxurious shower in. Several small planes flew overhead and I gleefully waved to them. Later on one of his neighbors came by for a visit and invited us to fly to town in the morning for a Sunday brunch with other community members. I’d never flown and was thrilled by it. As we took off I breathlessly watched out the window. We banked left and flew right over my uncles property. There was the shower and I could read the word dial in the bar of soap. It was a shock. When we arrived at the brunch with all the other pilots I got a standing ovation. I had to laugh. It was pretty funny and the brunch was a great reward! 😂 I was pretty good looking in those days. ❤ lucky fellas
Atta girl!!
How wonderful to hear the ovation the king received. I'm sure the king was very touched with this positive affirmation.
When my chidren were young we always told them they would never be bored if they read. They could travel anywhere and any time. They would also learn a lot about the language.
So nice to see you Shauna. You have such a beautiful manner, so cheerful and pleasant ❤
Thank you so much!
And everybody's so noice in the comments. I'm not. Maybe I should try to be noice. But Megain and Hairbrain bring out my ire.

My father was an avid sailor. As a child, when we were becalmed it was fun to "whistle up a wind'. It comes from an old sailors' superstition that a wind could be raised by whistling for it.
Yes, that's my understanding. They were superstitious that it might bring a terrible storm.
You be petty. The real royal family are good. Those two are appalling. Apparently planning lots more tours as she sees herself as successful. She is so deluded.
You be misunderstanding.We stand with the Royal Family and not the dastardly duo H & M.The Counterfeits of Montecito.
I got it! It's like you giving your accord to Shauna to be petty, as the duo deserves it! @chimerat8012 got it wrong, but I'm sure she'll get it now...
@chimrat I’m sorry I don’t know what you are saying. I stand with the royal family.
? That makes 2 of us. In any event, we are supporters of the working Royal family.
@journeysintothelight2133 Mille Merci for the translation.Light has dawned.👍
I loved the portrait of King Charles at first sight - it is just so different to all other portraits. His face and hands were spot on and the butterfly was a lovely to mean lots of love before the advent of text. I sent my partner a postcard with "Wish you were here. LOL" He was most offended! My spooky story is going out for lunch with a cousin, he asked me if I wanted to have a look in a second hand book shop, in we went. I decided to look for an author Mum liked, found a group of paperback books by the author, picked one and instead of reading the back cover, I opened the front cover and it was signed by Mum's sister who had died many years earlier. As if that wasn't bad enough, we went to a second bookshop and my cousin picked out a book which had a photo of his dead uncle's yacht on the front - that was a day to remember!!!!
It's demonic
Wow! Actually quite lovely…they were with you that day!
6 degrees of separation.
His depiction of King Charles’ face is spot on, which is exactly what you want in a portrait.
The funny phone answering incident reminds me of a nurse I used to work with. Her 5 year old daughter answered the phone and said to the person, " Mommy can't come to the phone because she is playing with scissors." The person of course asked, "Why is she playing with scissors?" Her daughter replied, "We are going to the pool and she is trimming her pee-pee hairs!"🤣🤣🤣 I have never forgotten that one!!
Sip to the lovely funny stories LOL
I once went to the local shop and a man standing behind me said”are those your knickers “ just as I was about to slap him in the face he pointed to my feet and yes my knickers were on the floor . They had made their way out of the bottom of my trousers. Obviously from the day before as I was wearing clean knickers but yesterdays trousers. The shade of red I turned has never been seen . 🤣❤️🏴
😂😂😂
I agree with you !!! Megan and Harry must be fuming 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Fuming in their fumes.
Hi Shauna,
Two years ago, my hubby and I moved to a new area in country Victoria. We arranged horse transport for my beloved 22yo horse. My husband kept contact all day with the horse mover as we were both such sooks about his welfare. Just as he arrived at our new property, my husband got a new message and advised the man that he'd be at the gate shortly to assist with unloading Joe. He signed off with, "Love you XOXO" as he always does with me. Imagine his horror as he met this nice man, shook his hand, and then tried to grin when the man said, "I'd like to return your lovely sentiments, but I think my wife would object" My poor hubby 😅
😂
Hi Shauna, when my darling Dad was ‘having a poo in peace’ and someone rang for him, mum would say in her best voice, ‘he’ll call you back, he’s busy moving something!’ 😂
Hi Shauna I’m from NZ but live in Italy and just wanted to share this funny moment with you.
I had just moved to a town near Pisa with my husband. We were living in an apartment on the 3rd floor and my kitchen overlooked the main shopping street. It was the middle of summer and I was making something with my Prestige pressure cooker. The old model (1975) the one with the 15lb weight that sat on the steam vent that made an intermittent shushing sound as it released the excessive pressure.
Can you imagine my shock as I’m concentrating on my cooking efforts to find a fireman coming through my open window to rescue me from a “gas leak”!!
I hardly spoke a word of Italian but finally got the message across it was the pot on the stove making the noise!! Pressure cookers were not in fashion those days in Italy.😁
Bridgerton is entertaining but lets not pretend its historically accurate , Queen Charlotte was NOT black , She had some Portuguese heritage, Portuguese people are White Europeans and both her parents were white , There are numerous images of her parents and siblings available , Its only Americans that think Portuguese and Spanish people aren't white , Even if she did have some Moorish heritage she would have looked slightly North African ( Arabic) not Sub Saharan
All Americans don't consider Spaniards and Portuguese non-white!! Good grief.
Americans do not think that!
@@NiniM8154 Not all Americans I am sure, but we are classified as hispanic or latinos in the USA and we are neither. At the very least we are Latin ( from the Roman occupation) or Iberian from being in the Iberian Peninsula ,but ask any portuguese person and they will tell you that we are not hispanic, that's from the Spanish occupation of South America. It's very offensive to us actually.
And I have heard many American Hispanic people saying that they are not white. Silly to compartimalize people in boxes.
And that is a fact, she had an ancestor that from her name may have been a North African woman, not black Sub Saharan.
North Africans are not arabs, they are Amazigh berbers.
I just loved King Charles new portrait as soon as I saw it ❤
I've got a bat story, too! When I was 10--many, many years ago--we moved to a big, drafty old house. We discovered on the first night that there were bats in the old house! My little sister and I ran downstairs screaming, certain that Dracula was after us! We always had bats getting in that house, and for many years we dispatched them with a broom, I'm sorry to admit, til I found a few little ones that had gotten trapped in the basement and died. Their little faces were precious, and after that I wouldn't let my brother hurt them...and we had a little black cat named Lucky with a face like a bat, so I absolutely couldn't stand the thought of injuring them!
I've been a HUGE reader from the start; can't even begin to imagine how many libraries' worth of books I've read in my 74 years! Oh, the places I've been...
I realy love the King's portrait! I'm glad you like it too❤
I love it too.
I love it also, from the first time I saw it❤
Always love the fact that people in books are so much better looking than they are in films . 😄
Your 'undies on the balcony' story reminded me of something that happened recently to my sister. She'd just returned from a trip to England but had left her suitcase downstairs in the living room. In the morning, she needed some underwear so ran downstairs naked to dig through her suitcase. Her partner was there, talking to his colleague, which was nothing unusual. After about 30 seconds, he calmly said, 'this is a Zoom meeting, Ali', and she realized she was in full view of his computer!
😅😂😂
At one stage scammers were pestering us. They detected a fault with our computer and my husband was asked to open windows. He had them so confused as he kept on asking which windows dining room lounge bedroom. They ended up swearing at him and cutting the call.
Congrats to the King. Wonderful to see the young royals at the Garden Party supporting William. Great to see them and always nice to see Mike tindall.
Good morning from the US. Love your program Shauna and thank you for being so thoughtful of your listeners. Not wanting to charge us $68 for a $4 mug 😊❤️
What a happy "Gossip Before Bed." I guffawed through many of the stories. But when the one from a woman whose husband thought LOL meant "Lots of Love" came up, my reaction was to say out loud, "Oh, what a precious boy", and then burst into tears. Now I'll never read or write LOL again without thinking of him and what a treasure he is. Laughter and blessings to all!
I'm 75. I too read the Angelique series in my youth and was swept away into a wonderful world. I was utterly stunned to here your comment about Queen Camilla reading those books. I forgotten how much pleasure those books brought me. I don't know if they are still available but I'll be on the hunt now. Thanks.
I do enjoy your programs and just loved your conversation with Andrew Gold ❤
So did I in my youth. Couldn’t read them fast enough. I’m another 75 year old.
I will be reading Angelique. Enjoy them again x
I read the Angelique series when I was young too!
I loved them too! But they were a bit racy for a young girl! The husband and wife team authors had a bitter parting, and a huge fight over the literary ownership. Sadly, the one where she goes to Quebec with husband no 1 (Rescator) the whole novel never got published in English, only in French. Was itAngelique and the Demons? Would love to read the whole of that novel stitched back together.
I loved those books!
Harry's non-fiction book certainly conjured up some vivid imagery that Elizabeth Arden and I will forever be affected by!
It won't be too long before Nigeria start asking the same questions as the rest of the world...
Like you, the portrait shook me the first moment I saw it but then fell in love with it. It is UTTERLY King Charles. Unexpected bold, arty, different and confronting. He may do ""the quiet man" most of the time but his history is is of a man walking a path he determined. His face in that portrait shows his true character.
Your comment absolutely nailed it! Thank you!
After reading your comment, along with other people's here, I changed my mind, instead of feeling a bit uneasy when watching it, NOW I see the real King Charles, the "bold, arty, different and confronting" and determined man he is. A man that went through the burning pyre and came out unscathed, like the Phoenix he is.
"....Of a man walking a path he determined" You can take that literally as well. I often picture him at Balmoral, walking down a path dressed in his Kilt.
Hi Shauna, live in Northumberland , England and was 💔 when the sycamore tree at sycamore gap was felled. Some may think what's special about a tree, but it stood beside the Roman wall and became an icon when it appeared in the Film Robin Hood... Prince of thrives. To the people of Northumberland it was a very special place xx
Happy wednesday everybody ,a wet one here in uk ,😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍
Good evening Shauna and everyone here.
Good evening to you too
G'day everyone, I am sitting comfortable with my drink ready for another brilliant offering.
Hi lovely to have you here! 💗😊
I love the portrait Shauna, though I didn't at first. I found sitting quietly with it for a time, it gave me the feeling of someone with a strong and very loving character. The artist did a wonderful job with his facial features, especially the eyes...he captured a laugh just waiting for a reason to be heard. Yes, it's unusual, but so is King Charles.
I think the Kings portrait was strength, passion, and sensitivity.
I love the portrait. It's so Charles. Provocative, strong, brave but the face is so soft and gentle.
Regarding the bat … I used to look after fruit bats and someone often came to us with her ‘pet’ bat, called “Balls” (imagine why). She used to loan him to tv and film sets. So later, I was watching tv with my mum, it was a Dracula film and suddenly I recognised the (fruit) bat and shouted “it’s Balls”. She replied “it’s not that bad” 😂 I then had to explain 😂
Shauna, I'm expecting to hear this one told by you next week! I can hear you 'breaking up' with your laughter now inside my head. ( Aussie reference everyone). And yes, you've made it inside my head!!!
😂🤣💗 I’m reading that out!
I’m glad you found it funny. Apparently the owner had bottle fed ‘Balls’, he was very calm around people and fruit bats are so gorgeous up close, he was lovely. The woman used to have him hanging upside down around her neck. I also looked after the vampire bats, not as pretty and very much smaller so they would scurry away from you. I still had to have the rabies prevention injections though
I love that quote about reading!! I have to tell you a little story about the video game, Age of Empires. My children absolutely loved it and i used to moan about how much time they spent playing it.. until a certain incident. I home schooled my kids starting in Grade 5. I chose a curriculum that included early history. We were doing a section on Britain and the kings. I excitedly did research and sat down with them. I mentioned a date and instantly all of them piped up and said: "are we doing the battle of Agincourt"? Well, i was stunned. They brought out a thick booklet... the instruction booklet for Age of Empires. Needless to say, it became our history book for a time. Just shows, i was too quick to judge😂
The portrait.. I found the red startling @ first but as you say in the photo with the frame it’s stunning. & I love how I see Prince William in King Charles’ face. I also love that Queen Camilla felt the artist captured King Charles as she sees him through love
The portrait of Charles is very evocative and is growing on me. It is definitely something I would love to see in person.
Hello again Shauna and all of your fans. Your reader comment on your Aussie pronunciation of whizzel (whistle) 😊 made me think of a similar one that tripped me up and I still laugh about.
I love the RUclips channel Tiny House Big Living and truly enjoy Bryce who is from New Zealand. When I first discovered his channel, I was watching him late at night because I often struggle falling asleep. Well I was kind of dozing off during the episode and I suddenly was wide awake because something that startled my brain. I ran the episode back a few times to hear it again, trying to grasp what I was hearing. Bryce was summarizing the amazing home but what had startled me awake was him emphasizing that his favorite thing was “the incredibly big deck”. How he pronounced it with his New Zealand accent…to my southern Tennessee ears, he was saying deck like we pronounce a man’s name that starts with D and also has a K in it. 😳🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Being half asleep, I had to run it back much further to get my groggy mind to grasp what he was saying.🤦🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️😊🤭
I still get a chuckle every time I hear him pronounce deck on his videos. To this 61 year old southern girl, I enjoy a good laugh even when it is slightly off color. Needless to say, it was awhile before I could fall asleep after that. 😊😁🤭
I certainly enjoy your fun filled gossips before bed . I thank you for your all of the time you give to us each week and look forward to Wednesdays because of them. 💗💗💗
When my husband and I first married we bought a small house out in the country. At night we would sit out on the deck and just marveling how beautiful the stars were. I noticed that there were birds that came out at night, so I said to my husband,” I never knew birds flew around at night! “ he would always say something non-committal like, “yeah, they eat tons of mosquitoes!”. He was right. If we were being eaten by mosquitoes, when the birds showed up, within 10 minutes, the mosquitoes were gone! Finally, I said to him, “ I’m going to have to go to the library, look up to see what type of birds these are.“ Finally, he said, “my dear woman, these are bats!“ as he suspected, I ran, in terror, right into the house! I finally got over my fear and began to really appreciate the mosquito free nights. Unfortunately, the farmer behind us sold off 40 acres to a contractor to build a subdivision. By the time those houses went built the bats were gone and the mosquitoes returned!
It’s fairly easy to make a bat 🦇 house.
I’ve laughed so hard I’ve cried listening to some of these stories!! 😂
The one about the father trying to have a poo in peace reminded me of years ago when our kids were little. We were running late for a family gathering. Apparently, they called the house to see if we were on our way. We didn’t know this until we got there and were told in front of a full room that our six year old had let them know her mom and dad were in the shower together and couldn’t come to the phone. 💀 ❤😂
For the record, we were just trying to save time because we knew we were running behind schedule. 😉
Sure 😂😂😂
Sure!! We know!
Yeah yeah we believe you but thousands wouldn’t 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I'm with you Shauna- let's hope we get to ROAR soon for our Royal Family❤
Shauna I laughed through your whole video!! Thank You!! There is nothing like a good laugh in this day and age.
So glad!
The painting was a bit of a surprise at first due to the red colour, the Kings face is beautiful so strong wonderfully done. I like the picture.
With regards to the white tube dress Meghan wore it reminded me of a tube of toothpaste.
Cheers ❤
🤣🤣🤣
Her clothing was inappropriate to wear in Nigeria? 🙊🙉🙈💃🏻The KC portrait had too much red, the face was good?
It looked like a beach cover. A cheap one.
Hi everyone from South Africa. Enjoy your sipping as we enjoy the video. Sip
The story about the ear and cup is hilarious, but listening to you laugh made me laugh more.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
God Bless the King .❤
For Australians, there is a wonderful exhibition of Ralph Heimans' work at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra. Exquisite paintings of King Charles, the late Queen Elizabeth.Prince Phillip and our Queen Mary of Denmark. Ends 27 May. I'm going again this weekend to take in all the artwork before it's gone.
Googled it. Stunning !
Yes I thought Ralph Heimans work would have been better for KC3. I love his Prince Philip work in the corridor at Windsor.
@ronnie7075 Yes, that painting is wonderful. There is a smaller painting of Prince Phillips face in the Heimans exhibition, and it's very beautiful and expressive. There is a small one of the Queens face too.
@@helena1362 Okay. I really like Heimans work.
Midday here in the UK so I’m looking forward to a gossip with lunch 🤪
I love the new portrait of KC, including the colour scheme
I love the painting….probably one of the best likenesses of the King. I think it will become a modern classic.
I absolutely loved that portrait of the king from the first. It is striking and bold. It makes a real statement of a King not afraid of challenging people with radical ideas. And I loved loved loved the monarch butterfly. Brilliant!
Hello sending love from UK 🇬🇧
I love that loud rollicking cheer that went up for the King !!!
Yes brilliant! 😊🤗
I love the portrait. It’s a modern portrait of a modern king.
I absolutely love these gossips before bed. You always make me laugh out loud. I live alone with my English Bulldog. She gives me the most judgmental look when I burst out laughing. I believe she thinks I’ve lost my mind by her look. Love to you all from Tennessee. 💗💗💗
I'd have my cat sleeping on my knee and burst out laughing and she would leap off then turn and glare at me, then settle on the couch next to me later.
When those cold callers would call the house and ask for my mother, my father would say he had her committed! LOL (Laughing out loud)!
I live in California but I was filled with emotion when the Queen was on the balcony at the end of the Platinum Jubilee and the crowd broke out with God Save the Queen💞.
The portrait of KC is brilliant. The face is perfect, right down to the fingers. If people want a perfect portrait, they should take a photo. The painting is so creative and dramatic. No evil there. Hell and Satan don't exist.
Agree.
Sip of coffee from my daughter's home in Oklahoma. Last day of my visit, so next week will be from Colorado again.
Oh that sounds so nice ❤
Hi Shauna 👋 it's 1pm in London and its raining 🌧. Again. My "sip" is a huge glass of Rose wine 🍷. I may not make it to the end of this video sober 😅 "sip"
Have fun! 💗😂
@@thevintageread cheers 🍻 😆 🤣
I was doing a phone fund raiser for my college. On one phone call, a little girl answered, so I asked if her Mom was home and why I was calling. When she came back, she said Mommy said she wasn't home. She was so cute and so polite.
When I first saw the portrait, I immediately thought “WTH?”. But then, I was won over by its artistry and originality. SIP to King Charles for his choice of artist!
You aren't supposed to whistle on stage either (unless it's part of a script). The story is that in the time of sailing ships, sailors would use whistles to signal when to drop sails, etc. So sailors would pick up jobs working up in the theater rigging and using whistles to communicate. They would operate the ropes that would fly in backdrops, etc. But those were balanced by sandbags.
So if you were to whistle on stage off script, you risked having a sandbag come hurtling down and hitting you on the head.
I personally was gob smacked I felt it was magical it was a perfect rendering of our glorious KING it’s brilliant 💯💯💯👍👍
What about a simple sticker to stick on a cup ?
brilliant idea,
“SIP” From America ….I Dearly Love ❤️ Your Programs ….You Have Such A CONTAGIOUS LAUGH 👏👏👏❤️
Embarrassing moment. My husband was away. My 3 year old wanted to sleep in my bed so I told her that she could if she was well behaved before bedtime. The next day I dropped her off at daycare and she ran in and announced at the top of her lungs “Guess who slept in mommy’s bed last night!” The embarrassed staff quickly grabbed her and ushered her off as I stood there trying to explain that it was my daughter that slept in mommy’s bed last night.
😂😅😅
Shauna, you are sooo funny! Yes, we could be thin if we didn't eat, but wouldn't help the sagging skin!
9.46 pm in Sydney cheers to all ❤
🇬🇧🏴 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Why don’t you say what you think? 100% agree. Sooo funny ❤❤❤❤xx
I agree with you Shauna. Wasn’t sure to begin with, but I decided to really look at it intently and to be honest, I loved it. King Charles has a commanding presence, a kindly but intelligent and perceptive face. He looks, in body as well as face, like a strong king, not the weak one that some people believe. The artist has done a great job. This is a bold and far different portrait to the normal ‘standard’ portraits of previous monarchs, quite modern and I personally think abstract. No one will ever forget this king, due in part to this portrait. It’s very impressive…❤
Hello Shauna , day just got so much better because of having a chat with you
😘💗
Hi Shauna! I’m new to this channel and I’m having so much fun watching through all the playlists!
I have a spooky story-it’s actually my mum’s, but I distinctly remember the eerie feeling I had when she told me:
Two years before I was born, my mum sadly lost her first baby when he was stillborn at full-term. She then had me, followed by my younger sister two years later.
When my sister was a baby, mum would take us for walks around the botanical gardens near our home. One day we were doing that; my sister in the pram and me walking next to it.
Mum was enjoying the beautiful day but (as she often did) found herself thinking about my brother, and how he’d be with us if he had lived.
My sister was ready for a feed, so mum looked down at me on her left and said “come on Mackenzie, let’s go and feed the ducks now.” And was surprised when I didn’t react.
That’s when she realised I wasn’t on her left, I was on the right and blissfully unaware she was talking to me. When she looked to her right again, she realised this child was taller than me. She could only see the back of their head, but the more she looked the more she realised this child was older, and was a boy.
She said this part was hard to describe, but that all of a sudden realisation washed over her and she just knew that was her son, and he was walking with his little sisters. After that, she often felt that same feeling on our walks and she knew that her daughters had that protective big brother, even though we didn’t know it ❤
Gossip in the morning! SIP❤
I have a bra story. I was trying on new bras in a changing room and could not get the zip up.. it zipped in front. My husband offered to help so i opened the door and as he strated to zip it up, it popped open and the ladies bounced out, almost smacking him in the face! I just hope no one saw that but we almost died laughing
I love period romances and have just started watching Bridgerton. My granddaughters came in while i had it on and i had paused it but the name was on the screen. They were a bit scandalised that i was watching it they had heard about it at school and were a bit taken aback. I was really amused they are 15 and 18, beautiful girls and i am 79. I am enjoying it! ❤
Yes It’s fun!
The urine in the cup episode reminded me of medical I had to have as part of the job application precedure,way back when. It was at a rather smart private doctors office, deep pile carpets and glossy magazines etc. Part of the procedure involved a urine sample and I was handed a Georgian silver gravy boat to use, cannot look at them in quite the same way anymore.
Nowadays every time I see the RF I begin to cry! Ahh, I’m getting too old. Love you Shauna!
My mum was a great reader and I remember having a library card even before I went to school. She and I would come home with exciting piles of books. One of my favourite memories of my mum were Sunday mornings when I was a child. Dad would go off early to play golf and I would get into bed with mum. We would make up stories, often serials from the week before, and laugh and just have so much fun with our imaginations. My mum died 15 years ago at 94 (still a reader), but these memories are just like yesterday. So I'm glad you encouraged your boys to read as I still always have a few books on the go.
You’re off to bed and I’m just getting up!
*Sip* ❤😊🇦🇺 Post work Shiraz here 😉
SIP 😂😂 ☕️
