You know I'm distracted -- by the election, Thanksgiving, the site redesign -- by the fact that I TOTALLY FORGOT this event was happening, despite having a Post-It on my desk telling me when to be on Kate Alert. I'm just on...too many alerts right now. But! Here we are, nevertheless (thanks to the fact that I happened to be scrolling Twitter and I saw something from What Kate Wore that made me think, "wait...WHERE IS KATE WEARING THINGS?"). And this dress is super pretty -- [ it is LK Bennett](https://www.johnlewis.com/l-k-bennett-cersei-dress-multi/p3001600?navAction=jump&%5Frequestid=668257&s%5Fafcid=af%5F136348&awc=1203%5F1479835410%5F1a8297963d285fcfff4e2087694c585a&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and she is really into this shape right now. ([It reminds me of the LK Bennett dress she wore when the Obamas popped by for dinner](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-the-obamas-the-cambridges-harry-and-george-04-2016/).) It IS a good length for kid-related shenanigans, in that she can kneel down to talk to them safely. I am glad it popped up in front of me on Twitter.

So, Kate's apparently at[ the Natural History Museum](https://www.nhm.ac.uk/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- one of the prettiest buildings in London, in my humble estimation -- [to have cake and paint things with small kids, and bid farewell to Dippy the Diplodocus, who is off on a tour of the UK after 111 years in the museum](https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/735149/Duchess-of-Cambridge-Kate-Middleton-fossil-dig-tea-party-Natural-History-Museum-Dippy?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (It's nice when senior citizens can still get out and see the world).

I mean. That's a good ceiling.

Also, to eat cake shaped like a dinosaur:

Applaud politely at small adorable children wearing lab coats:

And have chats whilst doing arts and crafts.

I also look forward to the BREATHLESS SPECULATION in the tabloids about what Kate did to her thumb, requiring this bandage (or, to borrow British parlance, plaster. As a kid who read a lot of British children's books, I was very confused about how people in the UK dealt with cuts and scrapes. You stick PLASTER on them? That seemed messy and unhygienic):

I assume she and Wills were opening champagne bottles with the sword he uses to knight people -- just another Monday night -- and something went awry. Stay safe, Middleton! Especially since you've got another event tonight for us to ogle.
