brief note

[blamebrampton]

I have a wholly inappropriate crush on Alastair Cook. It was bad enough before I discovered that he sings, too! Just think of the tuneful nights at home around the piano ...

Oh. He's beautiful!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

He IS! I think I can see an England Cricket Team picspam coming up ... might leave out the two or three who look a bit spuddy ...

So, if a girl were to want, say, Alastair Cook / Stuart Broad fic ...

>.>

:D

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Darling, by the time they make it to the MCG I hope to have something up which may not be exactly what you have in mind but should certainly be along those lines ...

[meredyth-13.livejournal.com]

I expect them to have something up, too. :D

Aw, you really DO love me.

*glomps you*

Run rates! And be hoisting the Ashes! And of course I do :-)

[ms-kilian.livejournal.com]

Its awfully Austin-esque.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Is that Austen-esque and you would prefer him in a wet white shirt? Because I feel certain that will happen before the season finishes.

[ms-kilian.livejournal.com]

Err, yes, that would be exactly what I was thinking.

[nenne.livejournal.com]

He's gorgeous!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

He is!

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

He is ridiculously gorgeous.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I am in the ridiculous position of wanting to watch him run around with no shirt on while we're both singing Handel. Damn you, team biographies!

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

A purist might quibble at the eyebrows....

But yes, he's pretty, and in form, which is a delight.

But it's not inappropriate until you're imagining him in the dressing room with Stuart Broad after a long hard match sharing a pot of embrocation.

Coughs

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

He has two, that's all I ask for ;-)

And darling Shiv, how could I not have already gone there given the obvious H/D analogues.

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, one blond, one dark and you lot see H/D in everything.

Which is as it should be for shippers.


In re Florence, did you go and see the Bronzino exhibition?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I DID. SO GOOD!!!!!!! I have never seen most of those paintings so well lit and looking so good. There has been a massive amount of restoration done on half of them, of the very good sort, thankfully. Seeing all those Medici in such close proximity was truly amazing. If you have a spare weekend before it ends, it is very much worth the time to visit!

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

I was pondering it. There aren't many Weekends in January that are free, but I might pop over for the day.

[blythely.livejournal.com]

Why is it wholly innapropriate? Have you seen the nearly-naked pictures?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, yes I have. Alas, I was born in the sixties, he was born in the eighties ... although women outlive men and I come from a family in which people regularly live well into their nineties and not-infrequently crack the ton ...

[blythely.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but he's an English cricketer which means by the time he's 40 he'll be chunky/jowly, so perve while it's still warranted.

He and Broad are like, some sort of bizarrely-apt H/D cricketing dream.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Eh, by the time he's 40 I'll be nearly 60, and even the fabulous Brammers family eyesight should be starting to fade by then ;-)

And it's as though the selectors chose this team based ENTIRELY on all my letters!

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

*perks ear* Nearly-naked pictures? Links, please?

Thank you most kindly!

(heeee)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

You're a good soul!

[shezan.livejournal.com]

She is, isn't she???

[shezan.livejournal.com]

CRICKET BATS?!!?!

...er, um, so good what they're doing for charity. Oh yes.

[blythely.livejournal.com]

Sticky wickets, etc ....

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

That is one beautiful man. And he totally has Harry!hair.

Hmmm, where's Femme? This can only feed her cricket-love.

*joins the crushing horde*

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

He is, and he does! I feel I need to do a Cricket post very soon so that all of the Americans can join in the joy of this Test season.

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

It would be cruel to deprive them!

[shezan.livejournal.com]

Define "inappropriate". Seems perfectly appropriate to me. Phwoarrr!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I am old, and I have a Mr Brammers ... Though it occurs to me I've never asked his opinions on having a spare around the house ...

[wivern.livejournal.com]

I see nothing anappropiate in that.

I am enjoying this Ashes so much.

[shu-shu-sleeps.livejournal.com]

Wholly inapproriate my foot! WE would never do anything inappropriate because WE are the epitome of grace and courtesy yada yada.... and since I have a ginormous crush on the man myself (OMG he is so cute!)- all I can say is you are in good company and it is an ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE crush :)
