Oh boy, really? I can’t remember the last time I read that book, but I remember liking it. I mean, I guess it’s one of the perils of liking early 1900's literature-modern values do not gel, and for me at least, it trips up the immersion a bit.

*Cringe* I never got that far on my re-read (re-listen?). Marilla spends the first couple chapters dropping mentions of how lazy the French are and I was done.

It’s very annoying how off most of the characterizations are. Almost all of episode two was not from the books and it was awful. I LOVE the books and the 1985 mini and was so so so looking forward to this but it’s just been disappointing, it’s lacking so much of the humor that makes the story so much fun.

This and Road to Avonlea being on tv the other day really got me feeling the nostalgia.

Sho looks good from the pictures. I hope to check out some of that scenery in person one day.

Ah, yes. Reading that series as an adult opens whole new vistas of racism and animal rights issues unknown to my child eyes. 

NO. STOP. IT’S TERRIBLE. It’s been airing here for a few weeks, and it is NOT good at all because:

AHH THAT COSTUMING! AND ANNE SLAPPING HIM UPSIDE THE FACE!

I laughed out loud.

I fell into that Wikihole months back. It’s impossible to get out of because you start clicking through the history of the royals and when you get to Henry VIII, you sit there for like four days JUST on his article!

Why does Jez refer to her correctly as “Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall” but still insists on saying “Kate Middleton”? 

Did he visit Spain? I hear Parliment wants to take on the Spanish fleet and Make The UK Great Again

Prince Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall visit Sant’Ambrogio Market to celebrate the Slow Food movement and meet local food producers of the Abruzzo region and areas affected by the earthquakes of 2016, on April 3 in Florence.

Charles: How much could a pepper cost? Twenty pounds?

He packed a few of his “Little Blues” for the occasion!

You forgot the part where they “did it,” because, you know, “we’re on vacation and all, so...”

They’re having a better time than my poor parents who spend the day watching Fox and refuse to spend the sizable amount of money they have stashed away.
