In glad recognition that they weren't described as kings, and there weren't necessarily three of them - we are happy to declare today "King for a Day" day. Please attend all Occasions today dressed as the King of your choice.
Currently we already have people coming as King David, Tarzan King of the Jungle, Santa King of the Jingle (clever, Keith, like it), Don King the boxing promoter, King Henry VIII, King Kong, Elvis the King of Rock & Roll, Adam and the Ants (Kings of the Wild Frontier), The King and I (neat double act, Edith and Burghley!) and King Gustav Adolphus of Sweden (slightly off-beat, but full marks for imagination, Piotr). Hnaef's coming as Wonder Woman (Diana Prince, of course) but I think he's making a political correctness point there. That and he likes the nail varnish.
Pouring out of Beakers is cancelled again this sunrise. I've just been down to St Bogwulf's chapel and can confirm that, in line with tradition, earth is standing hard as iron and water like a stone. So we'll just push on with today's scheduled "Tea Lights at 10", a kind of Cafe Beaker approach where we all sit around drinking coffee and lighting tea lights, followed by the end of the world (aka Hnaef's Epiphany Incense Meltdown) around about 12. Would you all please bring buckets of sand, gas masks, asthma inhalers and Mars Bars. I get the feeling it's going to be one of those days. Again.
