Haven't RTFT but YES Madame! That REALLY threw me the other day - I stared at that person for a v long time before working out it wasn't you

#FenchNotWench

indeed.

No rewatch that I know about, but who knows. I have RBNR. I did download all the episodes on iplayer today though.

muffin she mostly gets to ride a dartmoor pony, a cute little thing & rather smart!

arf at Dog on a Cow are Friesian cows the fench equivalent of Musketeer horses?

I am hideously allergic to horses which wont be much use on the site-not-specified-backstage-set-visit. I shall park myself next to the pauldron tent whist you all get acquainted with Roger.

I've read a bit of Hamlet but tbh I much prefer seeing it performed with a hot actor in the title role. Well remembered (again!) Madame about the astronomy course - I might do that one but suspect my maths isn't up to it.

mavis that could be an unfortunate allergy - just imagine, wenches ambush The Musketeers at the end of a day's shooting, but they've spent hours on horseback. Do you fling yourself at TB with all the risks that entails, do you dose yourself to the max with anti-histamines & risk falling asleep mid-ambush or do you risk waiting for the other wenches have done & hope they remember to hose down the husk of a man they've left for you?

I am crying with laughter at the mental image of the muskeboys on cows. I would so love someone to be able to photoshop that one!

Of course mavis hurls herself at musketeers - imagine the scene.

Beautiful wenches gather nearby, then as they approach, one collapsees gasping to the ground while her companions call fro medical help. She gets scooped up and whisked backstage to recover with cast hovering around her in a concerned way.

FMTypos... you get the idea anyway.

carolina - I can just imagine Dog being made to ride one during that whole 'apprentice Musketeer' thing

Fancy - Please don't post things like that when I have a mouthful of wine!

Native ponies are the best! I spent a day's hunting on my Welshxgypsy yesterday accompanied by fellow mounted follower riding a forest-bred New Forest mare, it was fantastic

I'd be more than happy to fling myself at sweaty, horsey-smelling men. If anything, sheen of horse musk is rather erotic - Jilly Copper was right!

Dog - "Oh, you mean a Friesian horse"

Yes, I shall just have a horrible, yet somehow picturesque, reaction to the horses whilst Athos carries me manfully to some sort of sick-bay tent. I shall waft Helen off despite her protestations and I shall implore Athos to remove his leather least it be tainted with horse. Yes, Athos, we'd better include your trousers too. Just to be on the safe side....

Mavis I'll hold his leathers and inhale until you're finished with him at that point you'll obviously need peace and quiet to recover so I'll take it/ him from there....

Me too mavis, I remember being tempted by that astronomy course when you mentioned it, but thinking, "I still add up on my fingers , so no, I really dont think so."

Btw I saw dt in Hamlet!!! Did you?

Ive just finished the letter. Took flippin ages cos I had to do his whole life. Was a lovely thing to do though. Thanks loads for the idea!

Got to go to bed now so we can get up really early and do presents before school.

helen I really hope you dont get ill again! Look after yourself...Also hope floppers is less snotty and achey tomorrow.

Night all. Looking forward to learning more about horses and cows tomorrow. Xxx

muffin

Sorry carolina, but can't you just imagine his sad little face?

Oh, don't stop at the leather mavis, I expect all of his clothers will need removing, and so will yours as they'll be contaminated after he carried you. And to be on the safe side, you'll both need a bath or shower or a drenching under a waterfall

Night madame hope tomorrow goes well

Night Madame - I hope ds has a lovely birthday tomorrow. I didn't see DT in hamlet but I did see him in Richard II. Which is nice. He did look hotter in Hamlet but I don't suppose that's supposed to be the reason for favouring one production over another.

Right, I'm orf to bed too, night all.

Fancy, yes, you've got a point there....

Night mavis

Ehhhrrrr... Excuse me! If Athos is going to be carrying anyone manfully anywhere it shall be I. As soon as he dismounts from Daisy the prize Friesian cow he shall mount Carolina!

On that note it is bedtime!

Night all

Night carolina
