Happy Victoria Day!



Here in Canada, we celebrate 
the birthday of Queen Victoria 
every third Monday in May. 

Why? 

Because she was Queen of Canada when 
modern Canada was created in 1867. 
And we are nothing if not good colonials, 
loyal and classy, eh?


And today there is no one 
quite like Queen Elizabeth II
is there?

Or as HRH the Cat calls the other HRH, 
"my cousin Betty Windsor."

Yes, Betty does have a restraining order
against HRH but, I ask you,
what family doesn't feud 'n fight?






Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious!

Well, that's THAT for another year.

  2. Keeping riches that your ancestors have earned through slavery and murder does not really make Betty nor Vicky great ladies, on the contrary, both are ebil witches.

  3. Keyboard Cat is amazing. I never knew how the song ended. The rest? Wonderful. Happy Victoria Day!

  4. Queen Victoria represents her extended era in a way that no other person has achieved. Still, many of the things given her name have negative connotations--Victorian morality, Victorian prudishness, Victorian shoddy machine-made workmanship, etc. Still, we can be grateful for the good things--for instance, the Victorian era was largely the golden age of the cornet.

  9. What a cute and funny tribute to Queen Victoria!

  10. A good day to start the biography of Victoria I picked up at the library sale a few months ago.

    I find it interesting that the three Queens, Elizabeth I, Victoria, and Elizabeth II, were none of them expected to ever come to the throne, and yet they did so when they were quite young. Imagine being raised for and expecting one kind of life, and then having all that responsibility heaped on your shoulders.

  13. I love Keyboard Cat! What a talent! What a good-natured feline!

    As for Betty Deuce, the Queen of Shade, she has more military experience and more experience of Everything! Especially compared to that puffed up dung heap walking next to her. I mean, she actually served in the military - no bone spurs for Betty!

    Funny damned memes... 'Be aware she can move in any direction' made me laugh.
    Cheers!

  20. It's hilarious seeing her in these photos, especially next to the dumb fat orange mofo. Happy Queen Victoria Day.
    The Queen was wise to file that restraining order. We know how wild HRH can get.
    Cheers!

  23. Back in the day Victoria Day was a big thing - community picnics, flags, bunting, games, sometimes a decorate your bicycle contest, fireworks and family. Now it seems to be pick up a 24 and open the cottage. Well maybe not this years but ...

  28. My family are all die-hard Royalists. And also die-hard fans of the British parliamentary system after watching the dumpster fire across the border

  29. Can you imagine the over dinner conversation between Betty and Trump?! I'm sure she must by now have perfected the art of switching off when necessary.

  30. I LOVE, LAWV, LURVE THIS POST! And now for first time I understand an old short story where some soldiers in outpost of empire got drunk "on Victoria Day" and with their pistols shot an HRH design in the wall. Thank you, Queen Debra.

  32. Love the Queen. Any lady who can repair a military vehicle in pouring rain and dropping bombs is truly worthy of her role in history.

  33. I wonder if I could request that Uber if I need one!

    ReplyDelete
  34. As usual, some great pictures! Did you know that Kim Newman wrote a series of books set in an alternative universe where Dracula survived, married Queen Victoria and made becoming a vampire hugely fashionable?

    We only have the Queen’s Birthday here, Down Under, in June. It’s not her birthday, but it is the official start to the skiing season, I hear!
