The Three Musketeers

[Chrisdoc]

Haha, yes, that´s the one.

I´ve seen it loads of times but it´s one of those films that never dates. There are so many great scenes, good songs and fantastic dancing. It just has that feel good factor that never goes....one of my faves definitely.

 

[whitelop]

That is my all time favorite movie! I love it. I need to watch it now. I know all the words and all the songs.
Mickey of Sylvia and Mickey just died last month, the song where they're in the dance studio and Baby is singing to Patrick, Love is Strange thats Sylvia and Mickey.
Ahhh, I just love that movie.

 

[agnesthelion]

I know, I know all the words too. And the songs! Love that movie. I didn't know Mickey died.

Oh and Chris I have two episodes left in season 2 of Downton. I can't believe how much I LOVE this show!!! I still have the most unbelievable crush on Mr Bates. Like, teenage girl crush. And I don't even know why! He's not much to look at but I find him just SOOOOOOO adorable! I'm jealous of Anna....hahaha joking.

Anyway, I don't want to give anything away for anyone else who might be watching but the last couple episodes made me cry a little. About Matthew Crawley and Willaim/daisy and then all my friends who are watching in real time here in the states, we are in season 3 and it's either over or close to over. Anyway DON'T spoil it....but something huge must have happened on last nights episode (they air on Sunday's here) because everyone is talking about it. Now I'm so curious. I want to get to season 3 but at the same time I love this show so much I don't want to because I want to still enjoy the episodes!! Haha. Ya. I'm obsessed. This ranks right up there with Parenthood for me. Awesome show!!!

 

[Chrisdoc]

Lisa, it is a great show and you do get so involved in all their lives. There is so much sadness but also peppered with those funny moments and Maggie Smith´s great one liners.

It was really sad with William/Daisy and Matthew but there´s lots more to come and you will really say OMG.

Bates is so fascinating, I don´t know what it is about him but there´s just a twinkle in his eye and there´s also a bit of darkness there as well. I love Bates and Anna as a couple.

Keep watching, there are lots more surprises.

Oh my gosh, I just watched the last episode of season 3 last night and something really HUGE did happen, and so, as to not give anything away, I'll just say I'm completely in shock. I just can't believe it! And OF COURSE this had to be the season finale. I swear they just like to torture us.

Chris, that picture of Bandy is too funny. Sometimes I think our rabbits have OCD, the way they totally just fixate on some things, haha.

 

[Chrisdoc]

Jenny, yes it is a bit of "gobsmacked" moment.

I had to laugh at Bandy, trying to see him squeeze under the unit is hilarious, his little legs are stuck out and kicking. Houdini is just as bad. I just wish they could talk and tell me what is so interesting under there lol.

 

[agnesthelion]

Yeah everyone is talking about last nights Downton.....I keep having to shhh people or stop reading if I see a post about season 3 so it's not spoiled for me!!

 

[Chrisdoc]

Lisa, my lips are sealed, I´m not giving anything away but you´re going to love the rest.

 

[Chrisdoc]

Well guys, a good day for the boys today. I decided to let them all out at the same time as they´ve been getting on well through the bars and they haven´t been together for a while. They were out for about 3 1/2 hours together and although they were a bit cautious at first, no fights broke out and at the end, they were grooming each other. However, I turned my head for a second and something happened and one ran behind the sofa and the other under the TV unit. I don´t know what the heck went on but I put Snowy back in the enclosure and left Houdini out with Bandy as I didn´t want to push it. I´m just hoping that it was nothing serious and hope it hasn´t spoiled the fantastic progress today as I was so happy.

 

[agnesthelion]

Aww I just love seeing them all together I know you are working at getting them all together again. Wouldn't you know the one time you turn your head something happens 3.5 hours together is so good though! That's definitely a significant amount together so I sure hope they are getting there!

 

[JBun]

I'm so glad they are getting along better. That's got to make you feel pretty good Maybe something just spooked them, and there wasn't any sort of scuffle at the end there. It's good to see all three of them together again.

 

[whitelop]

I agree with Jenny, maybe something spooked them! I hope so.
It sounds like they're getting along much better! I love also love to see them together like that. And look at Snowy grooming Houdini! How sweet.

 

[Chrisdoc]

Lisa, Jenny and Morgan, I was so happy that they were out together for so long, they were so good and when they started to groom each other, well, that was absolutely great for me to see again as Houdini also groomed Snowy earlier.

I don´t actually think they did fight because they both ran in different directions, it all happened so suddenly that maybe it was just a noise or something like that which spooked them.

I am feeling so much better though as I know they can be together and be OK.

I haven´t let them out together tonight yet as I was late back and between making food and doing other bits and pieces, I couldn´t supervise them so may leave it until tomorrow when I´ll be home all afternoon.

I am so hoping it goes as well as yesterday.

Lisa, how are you doing with Downton...I hear that series 3 has now finished in the US.

My friends from the UK arrived today for a holiday, they have an apartment right on the beach. Weather´s not so good, it´s been a bit windy and rain is forecast. I feel sorry for them as it´s been awful where they live in the UK with snow and rain and cold weather. I´m hoping it improves over the weekend so they can enjoy a bit of sunshine.

 

[holtzchick]

I'm so happy for the boys fingers crossed it seems things are going well for the both of us although you've had your bond work in the past. Ahhh I feel like this bonding issue just consumes everything I say. It gets a little bit annoying I feel like a broken record. That's wonderful that you have company so you won't miss home too too much

Good to hear updates with you and yours !

 

[Chrisdoc]

Lisa, yes Downtown is like that, it just seems now so long between one season and the next, it´s like another seven months until series 4...it seems like an eternity now.

My friend arrived yesterday and I´m just back from lunch with them. She´s also a big Downton fan but I can´t tell you what we were talking about or I´ll spoil season 3 for you but it was so good to sit face to face with someone and ohhh and ahhh about what´s happened. The series is just that good. And also, they only do 8 episodes each series which is not really many so it´s over in the blink of an eye. Roll on September lol.

I´m just doing some stuff and then I´ll be letting them out again so I may let them all out again this afternoon and see how it goes.

 

[whitelop]

I'm glad the boys are doing so well together!

Its so cool that your friends from the UK came down and you guys can hang out! How long are they on holiday?

I haven't started watching Downton! I can't watch it during the day because my son is up and the dialog is so much that I really have to pay attention to it and my husband doesn't like period dramas. So I would have to wait until they went to bed, maybe I try to watch the first episode again tonight. The only thing is, netflix only has series 1. If I like it a lot though, I can buy the DVD set at the store; it wasn't that expensive when I saw it not too long ago.

My son likes Fry and Laurie. hahaha. He has good taste in shows!

 

[Chrisdoc]

They´ve been out just over another three hours today and have been mad grooming each other. I think they´re sorting out who´s the boss. I took a short video which I´ll download and post later. A lot of one putting their head under the other...it´s quite funny.

Do try and watch Downton, it is so good. I love Fry and Laurie, grew up with them and they also had a show called Jeeves and Wooster which was really good as well. They are both so witty but sort of clever witty. Your son has very good taste.

My friends are here until next Thursday so I´ll try and spend as much time as possible with them, I love their company and we just talk and talk about all sorts. Only thing is the weather is lousy, it´s been really raining heavily and it´s windy and rainy tonight. I really do hope the sun comes out over the weekend for them.

 

[Chrisdoc]

Well, I took this yesterday as I had them out together again. As you can see they are grooming each other but I had to laugh at Snowy with his foot on Houdini´s head and grooming himself and Houdini at the same time. I still have to watch them as they do have a bit of a nose butt sometimes but no fighting.

 

[JBun]

Lol, Houdini is so funny! He's like nicely grooming Snowy, then BAM, it's his turn to be groomed and just shoves that head right under Snowy. And Bandy is just quitely taking care of his own fluffy self. What a nice boy
