tea and tim tams...
but I have to confess that I haven't yet attempted to hand churn 4 quarts of butter
My experience with this doesn't extend past Sovereign Hill. I seem to remember that it uses muscles I had no idea I possessed. And apparently they're the kinds of muscles that get tired quickly. You're a brave woman. (Although I'll admit I find the idea of subsistence farming is actually rather appealing.)
(mostly edited for spelling. And to add..)
Can you tell I'm supposed to be writing exams at the moment? I suspect I'll be doing lots of posting on various boards over the next week :)
I'm so far on the other side of that idea that I automatically read

before I got dissonance from the context. I'm a city boy.
I dunno, clean fresh air, exercise...mud.

Possibly it was the fact that I spelt it "appealling" the first time. I kinda had a foot in each camp.
The idea appeals. The reality? Not so much.
Unless it's all about needlework. And books, they're a subsistence item, right?
And books, they're a subsistence item, right?
Um.
There's ALWAYS mud...books, NSM.

Heck, throw is some Standard Grade German a few sentences of something almost but not entirely unlike French and suddenly everyone goes all shy.
I read Asterix in French in high school. The bookstore on campus here has a ton of Asterix books in English.
Gerard Depardieu plays Obelix.
I must see this.

colour me unsurprised that I'm now ear-wormed by the theme from
The Good Life.
Hey Jimi, I was getting a little worried that we hadn't seen 'much' of you since you were sprung performing your impromptu strip-tease over on WX.
some would say they'd seen more than enough
I loved both Tintin and Asterix as a kid, although we had some books only in French, so I didn't know that
The Blue Lotus
was about the opium trade and World War II for many years. Alas that a lot of the Tintin books are unforgiveably racist. The only parts of
Tintin in the Congo
I cna bear to read are the parts where he comes across a rhino, can't figure out what to do with it, so he bores a hole in its back and tosses in some dynamite. Okay, that's juts my appreciation of inappropriate explodey humor.
My chief memory of Asterix? The giant Viking dog who talked with Dogmatix, who, to signify his Vikingness, barked like this: Wøøf! Wøøf! (Those are Os with slashes in them.)
Favorite names: English Gauls Selfemploymentax and Valueaddedtax, and most especially the Coriscan Boneywasawarriorwayayix. You know, I was probably 22 before I realized whom "Boney" refers to.
