So you've read it that often .Twigster? Blush

LadyVenetia · 16/04/2011 23:06

Ooh - do tell, Twigs...

LadyVenetia · 16/04/2011 23:08

Although I think that I can probably guess....

PassTheTwiglets · 16/04/2011 23:09

Only the 2nd time I've read it, Massive, honest! And when I say 'read', I mean 'skim' :o

LadyV, you've read it before, it's nothing new - Gruinard Project.

LadyVenetia · 16/04/2011 23:13

That's what I thought....have you had a look at Dreamerfiction yet, Tink? There are some interesting fics on there, I can tell you!!

SupermassiveLBD · 16/04/2011 23:13

Skim? The plot was very carefully researched or so I am led to believe.

LadyVenetia · 16/04/2011 23:14

Pardon me, I made an error there...

LadyVenetia · 16/04/2011 23:15

I meant to say, have you had a look at DF, Twigs??? Can't seem to spell tonight...

But Maud, there are no guns, it's okay, really!

I love the little turn on the catwalk!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 16/04/2011 23:44

Yeah but I thought the fact that we're in Heyer land meant there would be FWSs a gogo. Instead we have prisons and, and, and

SupermassiveLBD · 16/04/2011 23:50

We must have a look in the armoire then and

SupermassiveLBD · 16/04/2011 23:55

Another one

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 00:04

Oh, swoon. Mr Thornton speaking Italian.

::Collapses on the Aubusson which has been transferred from all previous senior common rooms::

Hark! What is that familiar refrain?

SupermassiveLBD · 17/04/2011 00:11

Do you know, I am back liking that song, I guess the break was long enough.

Do you think Markie's has a FWS department?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 00:15

'Tis a fine song, when one doesn't overdose on it.

I wish I'd found this next one before we decamped from the Harry Kennedy Institute. .

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 00:18

This evening's photos reminded me that we hadn't unpacked the Michelangelo.

SupermassiveLBD · 17/04/2011 00:20

Ah that was loverly! I haven't heard that song in an age!

All this and Harry too,merci beaucoup.

SupermassiveLBD · 17/04/2011 00:22

Oh, yes, the Michelangelo: brought to you by PorterPower.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 00:24

It makes me think of O Brother Where Art Thou, which is one of my favourite films.

I must get to bed - we have an overnight guest and I need to be up at crack of dawn (by my standards) to stand on the doorstep waving my lace-edged, cologne-soaked, lavender-scented hankie. Sweet dreams Massive and anyone else who's still up and lurking!

SupermassiveLBD · 17/04/2011 00:28

And you, Maud. I take it the guest is not a WFS wearer --or you would not have been gracing us with your presence.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 08:53

::groans::

So, this is what 8am looks like on a Sunday? Who knew?

Nah, Massive, guest is very lovely indeed but his dress style is (to keep it within our research parameters) more Lucas than dear Johnnie. He went to bed very early last night. Bloke and I also promised ourselves an early night but then got, ahem, seduced into watching Fanny Hill. Oh, I say.

TheSmallPrint · 17/04/2011 09:04

Morning Maud, 8am is positively a lie in in this house

ComeIntoTheEasterGardenMaud · 17/04/2011 09:11

Morning, Small. How's your head?

::Proffers paracetamol::

I don't drink coffee but I'll take the matchsticks. Oops they got lost in the bags under my eyes. Do you like my Easter makeover, by the way? I've Gokked myself.
