Grateful that HRH took the lead in shopping for graduation gifts. That was a big help.
Bed pillows - I had ordered two, shopping for plump ones, and they came in that odd new way of being tightly squished. I guess that's not a surprise, but I did not expect them to be shaped into tight tubes. Dd25 "opened" them, and they puffed somewhat. After hours and some work by her, they were still not reasonably close to the photograph. I took the advice of one reviewer and fluffed in dryer, one by one. There was definite improvement, but I don't think they are ever going to reach the height of the ones in the photo, OR really even puff to fit their own outer fabric.
Supper here was leftovers, and we didn't all eat the same things, but had cherry turnovers for dessert and they were good.
HRH's vest for the wedding arrived, so he'll need to try that tomorrow and we'll decide if we need alteration. I fear he got one too large, thinking it could be taken in but not let out easily.
