::Looks back at you::

I googled and failed to find it again, which is annoying as I must have got it from google in the first place. Gah.

Sweet dreams and I'll see ya tomorrow.

Greetings, ladies.

Ewwwwww, Andrew Lincoln is not on my LoL, Maud! Then again, neither is Melvyn Bragg, you weirdo... :o

I was tellying last night (new Outnumbered, yay!) And then we finished Page Eight but, dammit, I fell asleep at a crucial point and have no idea what happened now.

As for weekend plans, I feel a Cafe Rouge lunch coming on and then we have a few things to do in town - we did also promise the kids an end-of-summer BBQ at some point but that suddenly seems like an awful lot of effort as we've run out of gas*. Tonight's DrWho is going to be completely unsuitable for MissTwigs to watch right before bed (it's about monsters in a child's bedroom!) so we have to somehow persuade her to wait until tomorrow morning to watch it, whilst still being able to watch ourseves as I can't possibly wait til tomorrow :)

Yesterday was hard work, parenting-wise so I rewarded myself with a beer & the last chapter of Sylvester in the last of the early evening sunshine. Bliss.

*literally and figuratively

My apologies, Twiggy. But then, you just called me a weirdo.

::retracts apology::

Busy, busy, busy.

Well let's look at the evidence Maud...

Just teasing - I am known for having had odd crushes] in my lifetime.

Andrew Lincoln is not on my LoL either! The point I was making was that I'm not keen on that pic because I think RA looks like him in it (which obviously is very random as he doesn't look remotely like him usually).

If we're talking weird crushes I defy anyone to beat my 15yo Lol No 1

We have spent the morning at Miss Spiro's best mate's birthday party - the local pottery painting emporium. I spent it in the coffee shop with the laptop knocking out another chapter of GR!

Mr S has just made me LMAO. He was lecturing Miss S on blowing up balloons, got his words (giddy and dizzy) mixed up and told her:

^"If you're not careful you'll get Gizzy."

She should be so lucky!

::collapses with laughter at Michael Burke on Twiggy's LOL::

::unable to retain any other information::

Greetings, ladiez! A busy day of the worse sort here, lots of dashing round with nothing much done.

Just had a heart-stopping moment or two, when the washer started making the most scary clanking noises. and I'd just been thinking how pleased Ii had been with it, since I'd had it. Which is sure to put the mockers on anything, toot sweet.

Hwever, a covert investigation discovered a fork lurking in the churning table-linen. Phew! Silly me!

ROFL @ Mr S and getting gizzy. That is a whole way of life for your mate Massive

Any news of Small? I expect her phone has run out of charge or she has taken the opportunity to escape for ever from the lunacy that is the Academy

LOL at getting gizzy!

GR - OMG, I totally forgot that I haven't read the next 2 chapters!!

Small is alive and well and should be back soon.

LadyD, glad my odd crush amused you :) A friend of mine had a much weirder one than mine though!

I must insist that you stop referring to my crush on Lord Barg (TM Private Eye) as weird. He's tall, dark and (in my teenage opinion) handsome and can talk with passion about books, art and politics. What's not to like?

Spiro - I knew exactly what you meant. My feeble joke was that saying there's a likeness between Mr A and Mr L is immensely flattering to Mr L and immensely not to Mr A.

We're watching Doctor Who.

::Crawls behind the sofa just in case::

MB's voice is not entirely swoonsome, I should point out, Maudie. Just sayin'. As one accustomed to far more delicious tones.

Glad to hear Smallio will soon be recaptured back, Twiggy.

I make no mention of my Weird Crush that Dare not Speak its Name.

And don't any of you lot dare, neither.

Hmm, well, it's always worked for me.

::Thinks wistfully of Lord Barg's time on Start The Week::

Or as they say in la belle France, chacun à son goût

::Makes further sketches for the Academy coat of arms, featuring cravats rampant::

Don't forget the spurs, Massive.

Oh yes cravats rampant, on a field of jumpsuits, gules. And can we fit in a wolfie couchant, sable somewhere.

Here you go, LadyD

Ah, fame is the spur.

Was that a wolfie couchant you wanted, Massive?

Completely irrelevant but cute to keep you going while I find the pic I was looking for...

Blimey, he looks a little too couchant, there, Maudie. What have you done to him? Slapped him with a wet cravat?

I like this one too but it's still not what I was looking for.

Cute, maybe, LadyD but Forbidden, according to the message I am getting

Odd.

I couldn't say, Massive, but you'll notice he's in some sort of reverie.

I see your cute, LadyDamerel, and raise you devastating.

By the way, have you seen that there's a thread going on whether one's chosen life partner is Sean Bean or Mr Bean?

The second one was okay though. Curiouser and curiouser.

::sings:: I stiiiiill haven't found what I'm looking for

but here's a little treat for a few of you, I may be looking at Twigs and Maud here..

There is a GORGEOUS pic of The Man As Himself in one of the Bafta albums that we kept linking to a few threads back but I can't find that either.

::cries with frustration::

Look, it's an Academy party.
