SENIOR SERVICES: A full list of May activities and events - Midland Daily News

Im a big fan of humor. Whether Im watching TV, listening to a podcast, or reading a book, I prefer comedic entertainment to anything else. The funny thing about humor (no pun intended) is how, despite being a universally recognized feeling, the things we actually find funny vary drastically across and even within cultures. For example: the kitten mittens scene from Season 5 of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia is, to me, the absolute pinnacle of hilarity. Ive never laughed harder. However, Im sure there are probably some (though nobody I know) who could watch it with a completely straight face. No matter what your style of humor is, the library has something to make you giggle.

Some of the most popular humorous books are collections of essays, many of which are also available through eBook and audiobook. One of the most prolific essayists is David Sedaris, whose recent work includes Happy-Go-Lucky (2022) and A Carnival of Snackery (2021), in addition to many others. In this same section of the library, youll find compilations by authors like Jenny Lawson (Furiously Happy) and Samantha Irby (Wow, No Thank You), who are well-known for making readers laugh out loud page after page. I personally recommend Solutions and Other Problems, an illustrated collection of autobiographical essays by Allie Brosh, who also wrote Hyperbole and a Half.

If youre into stand-up, theres a good chance your favorite comedian has penned a book! Jim Gaffigan, Mindy Kaling, Tom Segura and Jerry Seinfeld are a few that come to mind, but there are plenty of others available through the consortium. We also have a great collection of biographies and autobiographies by and about comedians, like Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama: A Memoir by the wonderful Bob Odenkirk, and Don Rickles: The Merchant of Venom by Michael Seth Starr. Theres even a brand-new biography for children (part of the Little Golden Book series) by Andrea Posner-Sanchez about the legendary comedienne Carol Burnett! On the flip side, you can also check out the stand-up specials and/or television series by these same comedians, if thats what youre into.

This is obviously nowhere near an exhaustive list there are hilarious books and movies for every offbeat sense of humor out there, which is saying something. True-crime junkies may like Grave Humor: A Photo Tour of Funny, Ironic, and Ridiculous Tombstones by M.T. Coffin. Bird aficionados could appreciate The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America (followed in 2021 by The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of the Whole Stupid World). For those who prefer to approach humor through a more analytical lens, you may enjoy On Humor, originally published in Italian by Luigi Pirandello. In it, he declares that Comedy and its opposite lie in the same disposition of feeling, and they are inside the process which results from it. Not quite kittens in mittens, but it might be just what youre looking for!

Fergie is still ready to par-tea.

Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson, ex-wife of the monarch's brother Prince Andrew,may not be attending King Charles III's coronation May 6, but that doesn't mean she wasn't celebrating the big day.The A Most Intriguing Lady author took to Instagram May 5 to share photos from the tea party she hosted withMuick and Sandy, the late Queen Elizabeth II's beloved Pembroke Welsh corgis.

"I hope you have got the bunting out ready for the Coronation tomorrow," Sarah wrote. "I certainly have. Today I assembled a tea fit for a King which I shared with the residents at the Manor Care Home in Windsor to help them celebrate. Enjoy the weekend!"

The photos featured theprecious pooches enjoying tea, named after Queen Camilla, and pastries, including "Charles' Crunchy Cream Cake," at a beautifully decorated table fit for a king.

Leading up to the coronation, a source told E! News that Sarah would not be asked to attend Charles' coronation, which her ex-husband will be attending, per the BBC.

Here's How Sarah Ferguson Is Celebrating the Coronation At Home After Not Being Invited - E! NEWS

Far from the pomp and circumstance in England, many places in New Zealand will be taking part in celebrations on the eve of King Charles III's coronation.

One of the far-flung locales is a shop in Ashburton's town centre.

"We've sold a lot of memorabilia for the Queen and the royal families," Homestead's Rachael Redmond told 1News.

"We've also sold a lot of crystal people are having their little whiskies and little drams at night."

From high tea to coronation quiche, a right royal tea party is proving popular with the locals.

The local council will be taking part in the festivities with a tree planting in the royal garden at Ashburton Domain.

"It pays homage to his precedence over the country," Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown said.

"We've got trees in here for the Queen, we commemorated Princess Diana when she passed away. The Queen Mother we've got trees here for that."

Melissa Stokes and Daniel Faitaua will host 1News Presents: Their Majesties' Coronation from 7pm on TVNZ 1, TVNZ+ and 1News.co.nz.

Tree plantings, purple-illuminated buildings and a tea party are among the events planned.

Dunedin Mayor Jules Radich, mana whenua representatives and other dignitaries will gather for the planting of a rimu sapling in the lower botanic garden at 11am.

Mr Radich said a rimu tree was selected in consultation with mana whenua as the most ecologically appropriate native species for the site.

The Dunedin planting ceremony will be just one of many to be carried out in Otago and Southland today.

In Invercargill, there will be a planting of a rimu tree in Queens Park at 11am; Southland Mayor Rob Scott will plant a tree in Otautau at 11am; and Queenstown-Lakes Mayor Glyn Lewers will plant a tree in the Queenstown Gardens at 11am.

In Waitaki, there will be tree plantings at Oamaru, Omarama and Palmerston.

In Gore, 2500 trees will be planted next week near Hamilton Park.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins announced a donation of $1 million to the New Zealand charity Trees That Count, which will partner with the Department of Conservation (Doc) to plant 100,000 native trees nationwide.

"The donation will create a living legacy to benefit all New Zealanders, provide more resilience against climate change and align with King Charles lifelong interest in environmental conservation," Mr Hipkins said.

Other events include a pre-coronation "Right Royal" tea party in the Larnach Castle ballroom at 3pm.

The Tainui Croquet Club is hosting a fancy dress and raffle event at 11am to celebrate the royal sport, which arrived to New Zealand in 1864.

In royal style, two corgis will make an appearance at the club about 12.30pm.

Dunedin residents can also catch Toit Otago Settlers Museum illuminated in the royal colour of purple over the weekend.

St Pauls Cathedral will host a coronation civic service tomorrow.

9.20PM NZ time (10.20am UK time):King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will travel to Westminster Abbey from Buckingham Palace in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, which was built in 2012.

10pm (11am UK time):The procession is set to arrive at the abbey just before 10pm NZ time when the coronation starts. The coronation is expected to last about two hours.

The ceremony will include King Charles anointment by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.

The King will then wear the St Edwards Crown for the only time in his life. The crown was made for Charles II and has been worn by six previous monarchs.

The King will then take the throne, after which Queen Camilla will be anointed, crowned and enthroned.

In the final part of the service the King and Queen will take Holy Communion.

Midnight NZ time (1pm UK time):The King and Queen will then return to Buckingham Palace in the less comfortable 260-year-old Gold State Coach. They will be joined by other members of the Royal Family on the Buckingham Palace balcony to wave to crowds, which signals the end of the ceremony.

7am Monday NZ time (8pm Sunday UK time):The Coronation Concert is being held at Windsor Castle. It will feature performances from Take That, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and opera singer Andrea Bocelli. It will also include a joint performance from The Royal Ballet, The Royal College of Music, The Royal Opera House, the Royal Shakespeare Company and The Royal College of Art. It will be broadcast in New Zealand on TVNZ 1 at 8pm on Monday.
