So last night I went to a little Half-Price Chocolate Day (15 February) party hosted by a very nice friend of mine who has very nice friends. There was chocolate (although it’s bizarre how hard it was to actually find discounted Valentine’s chocolate — it had just all vanished, and meanwhile there was a baffling quantity of half-price *Easter* chocolate, which does not compute at all) and there was pizza and the conversation was mostly about ancient Greek and pandas. Then we watched the 2007 adaptation of Persuasion, which was entertaining. Most of the time I was a bit ‘Wentworth just spends all his time bitching and sulking and being passive-aggressive, why on earth would Anne want to marry him?’ but then occasionally he appeared wearing this absolutely gorgeous blue waistcoat and at those times I whole-heartedly shipped it. (I also shipped Sir Walter / Mr Elliot, but nobody was with me there so I gave up and shipped Sir Walter / a nice cup of Gold Blend for old times’ sake.)
Tomorrow off for a nice weekend away with lovely Pear who is lovely. <3
