The Queen and Her Throne

I learned the other day that Queen Elizabeth II has a personal, white leather toilet seat that travels with her wherever she goes. A week before that, I wrote the following:

When I moved downstairs after living a quarter of a century in the same flat, my whole life was disrupted. There were walls of boxes everywhere, and there were no coverings on the windows. My bedroom was functional, and I could sit on my couch and watch TV, but the rest of the place was chaos.

After a week or so, I had a handyman in to mount my stuff on the walls - the paper towel rack in the kitchen, the reading lamp in the bedroom, and pictures everywhere. But what really made me feel at home was when he mounted my wooden toilet seat on the new toilet, and my wooden TP holder where I could reach it. When the queen is comfy on her throne, all is well in her realm.
