Slowly recovering from the wedding, and the weeks leading up to it.
And WHAT a wedding!
Not just a wedding...but stuff that fairytales are made of...with castles and "Milady" & "Milord" and sumptuous surrounding and rooms.
Flanked by both families and friends.
As a mother it is so wonderful when your children find their
"Happily Ever After"
Mine certainly have!
May 9th marked a milestone for John and I, too...
Our First Year Back Together
(and it has been an amazing year)
Looking forward to
our May Getaway
Soon!
Hopelessly hooked
on what is
the last
of
G.O.T
Only 2 Episodes Left.
Last Sunday
opened with
Jorah as he
entered
The Eternal Friendzone
As Dany placed a chaste kiss
on his forehead
atop
the funeral
pyre.
A spectacular visual
as everyone
said goodbye to
those lost in
The Great War
And a formation
of blazing pyres
and billowing smoke
(seriously...this might have been the beginning of global warming)
Later much celebration
and wine
Gendry being named
Gendry Baratheon
and rightful
Lord
of
Storm's End
And Ayra's
huge
brush off
when he asks for her
hand in marriage.
A drinking game
between
Jamie, Tyrion and Brianne of Tarth
that ends in revealing
that Bri is a VIRGIN
A major cockblock
of Tormund
by Jamie
And a rather sweet
awkward love scene
between Brianne
and Jamie.
(...didn't we know it all along...)
A softer side of The Hound
during a conversation with Sansa
And Dany and Jon
both soft and loving
then
"but you have to keep your linage a secret"
which is kind of a
deal-breaker
for
Jon
And him swearing Sansa and Ayra
to silence
"Tell them, Bran"
And the hard truth about
SECRETS
(...if more than you and one other person knows...yeah...it is no longer a secret.)
Or as Varys put it best
"It is INFORMATION"
Bran told Samwell...who told Jon...who told Dany...and Sansa and Ayra...
who immediately told Tyrion
Who told Varys
Yeah...not a secret, anymore.
The Mother of Dragons
becoming
kind of a bitch
(...it is MY throne, damn it...)
and definitely
has all
the earmarks
of a tyrant.
A treasonous
conversation between
Tyrion and Varys
where Varys
alludes to
disposing of the queen
if it becomes
in
The Realms
best interest.
Dany refusing
to listen to
her advisers
or much of anyone else
(...and also leaving an anachronism
in the form of a Starbucks cup in plain sight...)
Never fear...HBO removed it from the scene digitally the very next day...
but there it was
Really
Bronn makes his appearance
with the
Lannister Guys
and lets them in on the Cersi Deal
Ever the Sell-Sword
he agrees to let them live
and Tyrion promises him
Highgarden
...is it just me or do any of you also want to see
Ser Bronn of the Fucking Blackwater
as the only one left alive
at the end. Taking
a seat in
The Iron Throne
with a self-satisfied
mercenary
grin...
Okay, it might just be me.
Tormund heading back
to the North
with his Wildlings and Ghost
(...who didn't even get a pat goodbye from Jon...)
Jamie
also leaving
for Cersi
once again
(...and a heart-wrenching courtyard scene by Brianne...)
"Don't Leave Me"
Bastard.
Euron and the Rest of the Iron Fleet
waiting for
Dany and Co.
The Killing of Rhaegar
and
seriously didn't you think
for just a moment
That our little guy
Tyrion
was going to be
The First Dwarf
PINCUSHION
when he walked
up
AGAIN
to confront
his murderous
Sister
at the gates.
And wishing
they would have
done a quick pan to
Euron's Face
when
Tyrion is trying to appeal
to Cersi's
Better Nature
and is talking about
THE BABY.
"How the HELL does he know about The Baby???"
Face it..Euron is rather thick.
Ending with
The
Mountain
Mountain
executing
Missandei
and her last words
In High Valerian
this is
translated
to
DRAGONFIRE
or simply put
"Light Them UP!!!"
and the look
on
Dany's face
as the screen
goes black
As she
completes
her transformation
from
The Mother of Dragons
(...er...dragon...)
to the Mad King
(er..Queen)
and Missandei's
headless body
falls from the wall
at The Red Keep.
Yes...Waiting Anxiously for Episode 5
(...which Kit Harrington has declared the BEST episode of the last season...)
This Week's Book
A second novella by
Kersangal
(...and now I MUST read the first...)
The entire story
of a
Chef
told in the voice of
A Narrator.
I must admit seeing
Anthony Bourdain
as the young cook
finding his way
through the trials
of the kitchens
although the cook
in the story
remains
forever nameless to us.
Very interesting
and
engaging way
to tell the story.
Enjoyed the very last
of this season's
morels
yesterday
and put another bagful up
half-fried and frozen
to share
with
John.
The Yellows getting huge, but crumbly.
The Season now Complete.
Oh...and we are now with puppies!
Dad: Because waiting on them to be born is exhausting!
