Last Sunday the weather was fine. I finished to read the book at home and began to surf the net. But suddenly the phone rang and my friend Joseph proposed me to meet with him. And i thought that it would be great to spend time somewhere. Firstly we hang out at the shopping center, then we had lunch outdoors with our friends. We ate barbecue, and told different funny stories. No doubt, it was a nice idea to go to the park. Everything was good till that time we saw the cat in the tree. One of us climbed up the tree, i was frightened of height. And also i was ashamed and at the same time i was proud of Joseph. There were a lot of people in the park, but just my friend could help to this miserable creature. So the cat was saved! We went to the shop and bought some food to feed the cat. Everybody was happy, especially the cat. When i came home i heard the strange sound. So i opened the door and saw a little grey cat. In reality i wasn't surprised of seeing it again. It was the love with the first sight, so i took the cat home. Though i was very tired i was happy. And i went to bed together with my new friend, his name was Monte Cristo. Why Monte Cristo? Because there were a lot of secrets with such cat. But it's another story. To be continued...

The year 2012 marked the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II being the 60th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II on 6 February 1952. The only Diamond Jubilee celebration for any of Elizabeth's predecessors was in 1897, for the 60th anniversary of the 1837 accession of Queen Victoria.

Following the tradition of the Queen's Silver and Golden Jubilees, commemorative events were held throughout the Commonwealth of Nations.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh toured the United Kingdom and other members of the Royal Family toured the rest of the Commonwealth as the monarch' representatives. The jubilee celebrations marked the beginning of the withdrawal of the Duke of Edinburgh from public life and a more prominent role for the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry in commonwealth affairs.
