But what about Hugh?

It’s official – Andrew Macfadyn is everyone’s favourite Mr Darcy.

Of course, I jest! Colin Firth received the majority of votes, as one would have expected. I guess there will never be any ditching Mr Darcy.

Colin is often described as playing characters who are:

…serious, earnest, taciturn, sullen, intense, and a bit stiff – the master of reticence; the reserved Englishman who reveals himself gradually…

My recent poll shows 60% of voters obviously like his slow reveals!
While 27% voted for Andrew Macfadyn, it left 13% being easy and flexible with their Mr Darcy choice – happily settling for either Colin or Andrew.

Now – the BIG question is: What if Hugh Jackman had been included in the poll? Hmmm!!

The Mr Darcy Debate

Ah yes – hasn’t everyone had one of these at a dinner party? (The debate – not the Mr Darcy!!!)
Well actually – no, not me! I’d never seen the original Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice (and I love him). So after much hounding by my fellow Bootcampers I finally found the DVD. I got all very excited and decided to make a day of it.
It was an unusually cold and rainy day for sunny Coffs Harbour so I stocked up on munchies and wine, snuggled on the lounge with my two muses (my mutts – Strawberry and Daiquiri) and pressed play.
I actually watched the entire six (or was it eight) hours in one sitting (yes the dogs had a hungry look in their eyes towards the end!)
The next day I watched the more recent version with Andrew Macfadyn and Keira Knightly. But I remain undecided on who my favourite Mr Darcy is out of the two.
Who is yours? Vote now!

Easter Miracles

This Easter I have lusted over gluttonous amounts of chocolate, greedily nibbling away while slothing on the lounge and watching Pride & Prejudice (the Colin Firth one…finally), much to the wrath of dear partner who envies that I can do all that without feeling the least bit sinful!
Oh well, it is Easter after all.
This Easter I also admit to missing my Bootcamp writing buddies who usually keep me informed and amused with a constant stream of emails. They must all be having a nice break away with family and friends. Happy Easter everyone.
Speaking of emails… I haven’t been spammed – not a single one this last 48 hours (where it’s Easter Sunday somewhere in the world). Do those sinful spammers take an Easter break too? Maybe miracles really do happen.
