Beauty is truth, truth beauty,

that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know

Oh my! That expression of pain and desolation.

::keels over::

Had a quick peek, Maudie.

And eeeek! I shall have to don a tin-foil hat, someone has indeed been tuning into my thoughts.

You must find Mr Thornton so restful, i often think. Comparatively speaking, bien sur. No spurs, for starters.

He does look somewhat sad and wistful there. Think what fun it will be, though, to cheer him up.

Restful? ::cough:: Yes, of course. Obviously. ::cough::

It is uncanny how she has picked up on some of your, ahem, preoccupations. If she said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against her?

And - veering away from our core curriculum - . Another very fine voice.

I fear it's beyond sad and wistful in that scene. Margaret has just dumped father's Plato on him and disappeared (as far as he knows, for ever) and now Mr Bell is saying that he's given over the mill to her. But, naturally, I stand ready to cheer him up with a warming cup of cocoa and a ratafia biscuit or two.

Cocoa is always such a great comfort, I find. Cures a broken heart, if not a broken leg.

Oh, I do love that elegant loitering Gizzy does. Fancy barreling round a corner to see that waiting there, next to a fortuitous stack of very bouncy looking sacks.

I wonder if he would like cocoa too? I often imagine handing him a jar of Nutella and a spoon.

Perhaps Gizzy sampled chocolate in the Levant? And surely you would keep the spoon so that you could feed him, a la 9 1/2 weeks?

I think he must have sampled a lot of things in the Levant; waxing his chest and the guyliner being two of them.

But i I thought cooca came originally from the Americas. Maybe an enterprising Viking or two brought back some plants, though, in their longboats.

But at this rate i shall never get to sleep and I have to be up betimes tomorrow. Nighty night my friend of the FWTSN

Everyone else must have been listening to the Man wax horrified about slutty housekeeping. Good job MN doesn't insist on us having webcams on as we post.

It did. I was just being fanciful and imagining that it might somehow have got to the Levant long before it got to the UK (although of course if it had got to the Levant in Gizzy's time then it would probably have got here much sooner than it did). And don't forget the tattoo in the list of Gizzy's regrettable holiday souvenirs.

Have you read the Levant trilogy, by the way? I loved it. I read it when it was televised with another great potato face (Mr Branagh) in the lead.

Eeek! is that the time? Must away. Has anyone seen the FWTSNS? Goodnight lovelies.

::Looks back at you::

Synchronicity!

Good morning ladiez!

Well, I got a very early night last night (10pm) and guess what?
Wide awake at 4am !!! Got up at 5.15 and have watched HFH whilst ironing and getting a head start on the other housework.

Glad you had good news Maudie - I had a tenuous but still quite unpleasant scare myself a few years back and the wait for results was horrible. Hope your holiday took you mind off things.

How awful about your DD's friend though - I would have been inclined to agree with Twigs re telling her but as Massive said, probably just as well she found out 'naturally' and now has a while to get her head round it before going back to school.

Haven't been able to watch any of last nights vids yet - will be something to look forward once I finally get the house to myself at 10.30am !

Morning peeps. How annoying at 4am, Spiro :(

Re. bottling things up, I think people probably wish that I would! I am just like Harry, when Sally says to him "you have to find a way to stop expressing every feeling you have, every minute you have it" :)

I often imagine handing him a jar of Nutella and a spoon.

I often imagine a similar situ - only I am the one holding the Nutella and the spoon :o

Twigs I am exactly the same as you re not bottling things up!

As for Nutella, fair enough, but why on earth would you need a spoon?

If you keep the Nutella in the fridge, you do tend to need a spoon to dig it out of the jar.

Unless... but i wont go there, i can see that facepalm coming now.

Afternoon me lovelies.

What's all this talk of chocloate spread? Now we will have to think of ways to burn off the calories. Shouldn't take long...

It's the Massive & Small show!
I'm so glad the house is empty 'cos I'm ROFLMAO at you two!

You will see that I got there first last night with my query about who would be wielding the spoon, so there'll be no facepalm from me. Just yet, anyway. In fact, I had to break into the Bibliotheque yesterday to watch the clip from 91/2 Weeks, to check whether or not (as I mis-remembered) she was blindfolded.

I now have in my head :)

I haven't watched 9 1/2 weeks for years, but I really didn't what the fuss was all about. Same with 'Out of Sight'.

As for Nutella - definitely no spoon required, just a few seconds in the microwave and a good stir so it's nice and warm and just the right consistency for drizzling...

Ah dang it, Mr M has just boogied up to the door, so i am rigged for silent running.
Have to catch up on the clips later

I have just seen the bit of S3 ep2 where Robin & Irish Bloke 'parachute' off the top of the castle and a furious Gizzy comes hurtling up the the parapet, locks flowing in the breeze.

I had to rewind and watch it again with my tongue hanging out

Obviously not at the tasteful shots of Robin and Irish bloke's assorted bits of anatomy.

I also love the way he charges along at full tilt, brandishing his sword. Occasionally it does this little twitch

::Provides virtual facepalm::

No, I never saw why 9 1/2 Weeks was such a big deal, but I did remember that it had some unusual and inventive use of foodstuffs. ::Old film buff emoticon:: Out of Sight, on the other hand, contains one scene which although I haven't seen it for a while could probably make me faint even now, but then I still have quite a tendre for Mr Clooney.
