Merlin

Oh, look ... at least I didn't download it.

I've spent the weekend recovering and working on an enjoyable but intense beta, so I thought I deserved an hour off, and it was starting on free-to-air TV here, so I succumbed.

All of you Merlin people were completely right, it is absolutely pre-slashed. Was it written by one of Russell T Davies' ex-boyfriends?

On the whole, amusing and diverting and extremely slash friendly, but I will have to turn off my critical brain if I plan to watch any more. Pretty lads aside, it was a case of 'wrong clothes, wrong saddle, wrong architecture, wrong fruit, wrong …'

I should have just focussed on that Bradley fellow. Though he is a wee bairn, is it all right given that I have the same birthday as Germaine Greer?

Yes, I can see that ;-)

Alas, I have only the one real toyboy left, and he is turning 40 this weekend. I have had to let the old set go, as it just looked dodgy keeping them on once I had Mr Brammers.

And I was startled we weren't already friends, I blame my disorganisation!

No worries. :) If you ever move to your beloved Estonia you should really visit me. I live just across the sea.

Oh HEY! Be careful what you offer! It looks as though I will be in Riga in August, and Tallinn and Helsinki are both on the cards, so you never know ...

You're most welcome to our humble city!

I'll bring my newest pet to the meeting.
He's just so pretty... *sigh* :)

I can spot the appalling blunders I made desperately trying to remember the layout of the city for Snatched ...

This pet, how old? (I'll need to know what strength concealer to bring)

:))

I strongly suggest a veiled hat. No offence.

He's eighteen. I could be his mo-, slightly older sister.

I have been eyeing off a nice bowler with a fine lace veil. I wore them back in the 80s, my jaw is still firm, no one need know that it's hiding the crows' feet ;-)
