At the moment I am dealing with a large and splendid vegetable marrow; chutney for Christmas, and marrow mush (marrow, garlic, and onion cooked down slowly to a mush, then cream, and Parmesan added). So whilst the said giant veg is simmering nicely, and the smell of spice and vinegar permeates my nostrils, I have made my coffee and perused Youtube. First up, for your viewing pleasure, is an American film from the early/mid 1930s, on the value of a housewife. Interesting stuff. The best line is "she braves death to bring forth children into the world..."
Next up, for a completely different change of pace, is a clip from Blackadder. When I first watched this I must have been in my early teens and I really did wet my knickers laughing. No, I'm not being metaphorical, I really did wet myself. I watched it last night, and although I managed to control my bladder I did howl and guffaw in a hearty and unladylike manner. So many good bits, so many great lines. I like Nursey's reaction to the captain's flirtations. All excited and silly, this is how I get when men flirt with me, even nutcases with huge ginger beards. Oh, and my dad still calls my mum "my little puddin' of delight". Enjoy, me hearties!

'Who's Queen?' something I say to the girlies when they question my decisions.
I love Blackadder.
Enjoyed the other vid, '...she must pilot them safely to the threshold of manhood and womanhood.'
Lovely jubbly.
Hugs chuck.
