pensnestDear me, I did not mean to have such a break from posting. It's probably because I have done nothing noteworthy in the last ten days or so. All I have actually done, apart from an extended leaf-gathering session last week (the garden is once again knee deep in sycamore, sweet chestnut and beech leaves), is fail to knit mittens. I have been trying several possibilities, but so far am not really satisfied with the results.
And as I knit, I watch a selection of wedding dress shows... I have no idea why, since (a) they are all the same, (b) I rarely care about anybody involved, and (c) I rather hope my Bun, if and when she gets married, avoids the whole white wedding dress deal and does something much more individual.
What I have concluded, though, is that if anybody wants a somewhat unusual way of getting really, *really* drunk, I suggest a Say Yes to the Dress drinking game.
Any time someone on the show says..
“we met in high school”
"he's my soulmate”
"I want something form-fitting"
or “the sweetheart neckline” (you are excused from drinking if she says “a sweetheart neckline”, otherwise you will die)
…drink.
Also drink if someone on the screen says her dress must be “unique”.*
But if she says “very unique” you must leap to your feet, raise your glass high, bellow “Very unique!” and empty the glass down your throat.**
Happy hangover.
* You are in a DRESS STORE, you silly woman! Think it through!
** This will happen at least once an episode.
On another note, I caught up on Nick Carter on DWTS, and he is being very cute indeed. Slightly untidy ballroom technique but (of course) spot on with steps and timing. DWTS, I note, has reinvented itself, which seems a pity. I feel woe when I think back to Joey's stint on the show, when so many of us were watching and commenting, and footage was posted for those of us not in the US to share. Nick is being very cute!
