Morning lovelies!!!

[marguerite_26]

It's Monday morning! Finally.

Yes, I couldn't wait for it to get here. I live my life upside down. :D

My weekends are an insane blur of children and cooking and cleaning and endless responsibilities. Monday morning means I have a moment to myself, finally. I have a keyboard with an 's' and an 'f' key. (awesome!)

SO YAY MONDAY!!! *twirls you*

So last night Mr. M and I watched the Merlin 3.04 - Gwaine. We rarely see eye to eye on stuff - IDEK, it's just how our relationship works. He comes at stuff with a totally different perspective than I do. But LOL, I loved his reaction to this ep.


Arthur tosses cup at back of Merlin's head.
Mr. M: Is that like a Brit joke that just I'm not getting? How is that funny, ever?
Me: I don't know anyone who thinks it's funny.

Gwaine shirtless
Mr. M: This is your favourite episode isn't it?
Me: um...

Gwaine meets Gwen
Mr. M: Gwaine and Gwen? Aren't they the same name?
Me: ahahah!

Melee
Mr. M: Melee? I don't get it.
Me: And this is supposed to surprise me how?

credits roll
Mr. M: Well at least we didn't have Morgana smirking the entire episode.
Me: and Gwaine was shirtless!!!
Mr. M: ...

*loves him*




In other news!!!! MEAD!!! I need to know what it takes like. I have a bottle in my wine cellar, but gah! 10 yrs old and I'm really not sure it's meant to age. :/
Do you guys know what mead tasted like back then? Is it different from the stuff we can pick up now? Was it sweet or bitter? The concept of honey-wine makes my throat close up to be honest. :(


hmm... [flocked just because I talked about my husband]

If you mean these guys (http://www.aspall.co.uk/), I wouldn't sully it! I love mulled cider, but there are some things you just drink straight.

TBH, I was mostly thinking of the poor North Americans, whose cider is apparently non-alcoholic.

I did but I can't spell. My life is just one long torture ;p

The pub down the road was serving their cider mulled last year, and it was amazing. I believe the company was providing kits to the pubs. I did buy some with the rough plan to mull my own, but like with Thatcher's Katy I couldn't bring myself to sully it.

Poor Americans. Calling something cider that isn't is most unfair.

There's a guy at the local farmers' market who sometimes sells what are effectively teabags, but they have spices in for mulling apple juice and cider. So good, so easy - it all goes in a saucepan over a low heat, and smells amazing for a while and then you drink it. \o/

I was so horrified when I found out that when Americans said 'cider' they actually meant... actually, I don't know exactly what they mean. Surely it's not just juice, because that would be, well, juice. Anyway, whatever it is, it's not really cider at all. Poor things.

I feel like we share many interests, and we should perhaps found some sort of travelling seminar to educate the americas.

This can only end well. Only ever end well.

(and if it doesn't, cider is, after all, nature's tippex and makes everything pure and white again)

Oooh, with examples. Including proper Scrumpy. Maybe I should try and learn how to make it.

Nothing but good times ahead!

If it's educational it doesn't damage our souls.

just ask the young men I keep in the kennels

Education is very important!

I'm sure he's learning all manner of valuable lessons!

[being-here.livejournal.com]

Oh he is (and I am wearing a labcoat, thus it is SCIENCE rather than anything less refined)

Science!
