Welcome to our newest faculty building. Make yourselves comfortable and ignore the smell of paint. We cannot keep up with the demand for new premises.

BTW, these seasonal smileys are the height of good taste, are they not?

It's a carefully-rehearsed stratagem, Holly, naturally.

Actually, my feet are starting to ache. I think Mr Thornton and I will sit this one out too. The dear fellow is so overheated that he's had to loosen his cravat. We might take a refreshing ice on the chaise longue.

I tend to be sparing with the smileys as otherwise I'd have to put at the end of every sentence. But they are indeed most festive. Especially the [fbear].

Not otherwise engaged at all actually!

I dread to think how my poor dear is getting on in tight black leathers then...
We had better take a turn on the battlements to get some air.

Where has Stripey gone? Carried on to Crewe, with Mr Porter?

Well in that case, MrsLNP, Lucas needs a dance partner.

Fab! Followed by the lively Dr Track and Twiggy I think

The [fbear] looks as if his name should be Gladly.
Welcome, MrsLNP, we thought you had an anatomy class.

I meant lovely, but could be either

Not at the mo. DH has finally gone out for the first time in a week and DD has decided to go into awkward bedtime mode - grrr!

Guy wants to lnow if you'd like to borrow his dungeon, Mrs LNP. But then he's not very good with children

Might be of use for the husband though...

Holly I am quietly enjoying my porter lucas sandwich the dancing.

Truly an embarassment of riches, Stripes.

And isn't that Flirty Gertie just come in at the door? Bless.

And Harry can't be far behind.

Point of Lucas information. Remember we saw him in glasses and wondered about it? I don't know if it was from the same episode, but he wears them in S8.6, when posing as a Russian diplomat, with a gorgeous Russian accent.
If we ask nicely, maybe he'll sing Kalinka for us.

I am going to have to google that episode now Holly. So many bits that I don't remember.

I have a very sensible friend and even she can't resist RA in Russian mode!

Well, I gotta go and find the talcum powder for poor Guy, he's not used to central heating, living in a draughty castle and all.
Back later. Have fun.

Watching BtS - he's just taken a pen lid off with his teeth. Am starting to think our favourite man has some kind of oral fixation!

So, is it true that girls don't make passes at boys who wear glasses?

Another tenuous link - in BtS former Home Secretary from Spooks is business partner of guy who is seeing RA's character's girlfriend for sex therapy!

Tenuous links, volume 3: Boucher from North and South has just turned up in RH series 3!

Anyone care for some Polish cordial?

Oooh, Hyeeello, tovarich! Nice glasses.

Fancy some wodka?
That's what Polish Cordial really, is you know.

I'll have a glass too, please, Missy, if you're pouring
