I ♥ Thursday | no. 7

This week I'm lovin'...

Bradley James & Colin Morgan singing/miming You're the Voice by John Farnham.
Even if you don't watch Merlin, this video is a scream!  Seriously, do yourself a favor and watch it...

I love the friendship between those two.  It really comes through in their performances as Arthur and Merlin...even though Arthur is a dollop head most of the time.   A lovable dollop head, to be sure...with an adorable smile.  *grin*

And yes, I have that song stuck in my head...and now you do, too.  You're welcome.

I'm also loving the beautiful costumes in Merlin...

Who doesn't love a flowing red cloak, and there are plenty to be had in this show, believe me!
I love the jewel tones worn by Morgana - green, red, purple, blue - and also the softer pastels worn by Gwen - lavender, peachy pink, pale gold and blue.

Also, the horses in this show are drop-dead-gorgeous!!!   See for yourselves...

I found all of these beautiful, high-res images at this website.  They have hundreds of high-res images, both promotional and from the episodes themselves, including screencaps.  It's not often you find a site like this, folks, and my little graphic design loving heart almost stopped.  I was just a few steps away from hyperventilating, as my brother can attest to since I dragged him over to see all of the beautiful pictures. *grin*  Yeah, high-res excites me.  And yes, you will be seeing Merlin wallpapers soon! ;)

Happy Trails, y'all!

What I'm lovin' this week...

This granny square cardigan...

{picture credit}
I can so see myself making and wearing this...but in a more muted color palette. :)

This TV series...

All Creatures Great and Small based on the books by James Herriot.
For years I've enjoyed reading about James Herriot's adventures as a vet in the Yorkshire Dales of England, and to see some of my favorite stories come to life has been absolutely delightful!  I love the cast (Peter Davison as Tristan is especially good;) and the scenery is magnificent.

James Herriot, Siegfried Farnon, Tristan Farnon, Mrs. Hall, and Helen Herriot...plus Siegfried's dogs;)

Disclaimer: There is definitely adult content in this series and also some language which I could do without, so I can't 100% recommend this series to my readers.  If you've read the books then you already know what to expect.

Happy Trails, y'all!

This week I'm lovin'...

Country Peach Passion tea...with a bit of honey...*bliss*

And it's good hot or iced.   Love it!

I'm also loving...

I've always loved Converse All-Stars, even before I discovered Doctor Who and met the FABULOUS 10th Doctor.  Kellie can back me up on that;)

They're just so fun.  I love wearing them with denim skirts.  Unfortunately, my pair are getting a bit ragged and are unfit for wearing other than around the property.
I guess I need a new pair, huh? ;)

I LOVE this 10th Doctor inspired outfit...

Especially the skirt - LOVE the skirt.  And the Doctor. ;)

And so much for not mentioning Doctor Who in this post.  I was making a feeble attempt to curb my obsession...eh, why even try? :)
A friend and I were talking on chat last night and he suggested (jokingly) that I take something for my Doctor Who obsession.  I replied, "I already have...the Doctor recommends time travel."
*grin*

Happy trails, y'all!

This week I'm lovin'...

David Tennant's Scottish accent.

Okay, so this isn't news to my readers and maybe I always love his accent, not just this week;)

David reading a bedtime story - it doesn't get much cuter than that:)
I especially love the way he says 'emergency', 'earth', and 'poor'...
*melt*
.....

Happy Trails, y'all!

I'm linking to...

Here's what I've been lovin' lately...

The Piano Guys

You've NEVER heard of them?!?!
*shocked expression*

Get ready for some seriously cool music...and their videos are just gorgeous.

Isn't it AMAZING what that guy can do with a cello??

This next one makes me want to bang my head against the wall while screaming "Why didn't I practice more?!"...

This one...well, it's just toooooooo cute!!

And last, but certainly not least, my personal favorite...my inner Star Wars geek insists, nay demands, I share this.   I believe I've shared this one before, but you can always watch it again;)

I hope you all had a marvelous Thursday!

Me, I spent today sick in bed.

Welll...I wasn't really sick.   Just tired, worn out and generally just feeling gross.  More like a "I'm going to rest before I end up sick" type day.   I watched Our Mutual Friend (1998) and part of Bleak House (2005), both Dickens adaptations, and an episode of the original Mission: Impossible TV series.  I only emerged from my 'cave' to let the horses in and out of the pasture and to go spelunking in the kitchen for eatables and tea.

I had a marvelous day in my own way;)

Happy Trails, y'all!
