I have not seen Upstairs Downstairs in years and years. Well what luck for once one of the PBS stations wasn't showing a Dr. Dyer marathon or Antiques Roadshow (which I admit I love watching that show for some reason. It is like methadone) and they freaking showed an episode. One of the first ones too. *hops around the room for a moment* Oh talk about getting an old school English drama fix. I feel like Oscar Levant getting into Judy Garland's medicine cabinet*. Oh joy of joys. I think at some point I need to break down and just buy the damn series, even if it is bit by bit so I can be a happy little bunny. It is right up there with "Flambards". (those who have been long-time readers know of my peculiar love of that English series from the late seventies)

Anyways....

Dinner turned out lovely as usual, and then for dessert there was sorbet, cheese, fruit and biscuits. Though we did not eat every single thing we had a bit of this and that. Mr. Jenner went for the lemon sorbet and a biscuit. I nearly went for broke and had some Saint Andre (triple cream) and a lovely English Farmhouse cheddar. Very sharp (where your jaw aches just a bit when biting into it) and a honey tangerine which was ungodly sweet. I also had a biscuit because I am a biscuit whore and rarely turn down the opportunity to have one. When I die I will take with me chocolate biscuits.

I keep meaning to make a cake and yet I never get to. Time to do that tomorrow. Along with picking up some more rabbit food. The rabbits are finding they are enjoying themselves. Greg has taken to doing these unusual hops. He will be hopping gently around the dining room and then all of a sudden he will jump up a foot in one place, like he is a mexican jumping bean and then continue to do little graceful bunny hops. My Mother says that it means they are pretty happy. This is a good sign since Greg is a bit of an aggressive bunny who is known for cutting other rabbits like he is an angry pimp.
Esme is a pretty relaxed rabbit who mostly likes to sit underneath a bookshelf with a carrot. Simple needs for the simple (okay...retarded) bunny.

Now to lie in bed and read.

Not only was Upstairs, Downstairs the greatest soap opera ever, it came to my aid once when I had to do a Cockney accent in a play. God bless Rose and Sarah...I learned it from them.

Man, angry pimp is right. I am glad he is quite happy. Also there is nothing wrong with Esme, she is just a quiet special bunny.

Greg the angry pimp bunny. *snorts*
Yeah he is beginning to chill out quite a bit.

Esme is our "special" after-school special bunny.

He was in Jeeves and Wooster though.

That's right. Who was in Upstairs, Downstairs?? I keep thinking of the John Cleese show about the hotel but I know that's not the same thing.

Um.... a lot of British actors that do more stage work. Look at IMDB.

Internet Movie data base (http://www.imdb.com) great for solving any arguments about who was in a film or on a television show.
