Pearls of Markish Wisdom

[panik]

Watching 'The Tudors', Anne Boleyn tells Princess Mary that 'all Spaniards should be at the bottom of the sea.'

Mark: "I don't know why they're all so shocked. It was the basis of our foreign policy for two hundred years."

There's a quiet wisdom in that, I feel. ::nods::

We went out for a walk on the moors this evening. Coming back, through the woods, I heard what I thought was a Nightingale; had a good listen and decided it was just a particularly talented Song Thrush. Mark is now calling all Thrushes a 'Fool's Nightingale'.

I love Tudor history! Endlessly fascinating stuff.

And you went out for a walk?! You must have far better weather than I've got - it's been pelting it down over here.

It was beautiful, if a little hazy, till about a half an hour ago, then a real storm kicked in; presumably the same storm you're getting since you're only about ten miles away. (o:

Ooh, might we get it? I hope so. It's starting to cloud over, but it's still meltingly hot!

It's still hot here despite the storm and heavy rain so don't get your hopes up, hon!

The rain was very welcome, though. Both my waterbutts are overflowing (o:

It wasn't storming then, just heavy, heavy rain. Your storm finally reached here hours later. There was quite a bit oif thunder. :oD
