G'morning!

hi

she is claing turf

i want to moooove

Hey! hugs

And I must switch comps

Be a bit

Okay...between a local friend and Catnik's comments a while back about how I'm Jo, I finally listened to an audiobook of Little Women over the last few weeks.

Sorry, folks...not a fan.

Fair enough

(still a Jo)

Hrmph.

I'm very angry at LM Alcott.

Of course Jo should have married Laurie!

Hrmph.

Spoilers!

Honestly!

Fun fact: Alcott wanted Jo to stay single

I believe it.

But still.

Publishers refused, so she purposefully gave her a ridiculous match

Apparently that's part of the movie.. the trailer has a 'have her married by the end of the book'

Might explain that whole paean to the spinsters in that one chapter.

yeah, Gerwig said she did a thing

Huh.

Jo has a lot in common with Alcott

Well, yes, that comes ringing through clearly, that Jo's the author's avatar.

but it is also a very old book and there are def some funky victorian values in there

Yes. My mother and aunt were definitely reared on it (born in the 1910s)...and it showed.

I put up a new thread for the BIrthday, it was about to flip.

Flippin' threads.

language!!

Dag has a gift too - and you saw "mystery" package?

Oh, right! 🙂 Siv is drowning in gifts.

Cat, have Dag and Adam met up much since the break up?

I don't think so

I did. And she'll get that next. 🙂

And Dag has been hiding out, hand-feeding Mr Owl

Probably bits of raw chicken, not live rodentia.

Right!

correct

I know Kerri brought some over

Though I hope that the fact the owl likes Kerri too works for you . I just like the 'death to rodents' bonding 🙂

LOL Yup! Brekke's going to show the owl the boathouse, see if he's comfortable in there...the mice and rats do like to nibble at the ropes!

Ooo , the owl will probably love it

Adam shows surprising insight?

In this regard, a boat show? Yeah 🙂
