please have mercy. I´m at work :-)

Harriet · March 8, 2013 1:27 pm

Sparrow, pls take it slow and be careful, she was away for a couple of days and might suffer some injury

Sparrow · March 8, 2013 1:45 pm

Mercy is not in my vocabulary. What can you do, that's how we sociopaths are.

Wonderful pics but why do they always have to play with his eye colour? He's got such amazing eyes.

Sparrow · March 8, 2013 2:29 pm

Well, perhaps they didn't. Perhaps it's just the light. My eyes are similar in color to his and they do appear golden-y in certain lighting. Or perhaps it was edited by a Merlin fan.

Mary Me · March 8, 2013 2:32 pm

Oh no, these are his real eyes. I know this kind of editing - because everything else is black and white the eyes look so yellow.

So, Mrs W - great to have you back! I hope you had a nice time!

Mrs.Wenceslas · March 8, 2013 2:37 pm

thank you,Mary! I´ ve missed you all, really.

Mary Me · March 8, 2013 2:41 pm

I'm gonna miss you all too when I'm in Austria

Mrs.Wenceslas · March 8, 2013 3:15 pm

we´re seriously addicted, aren´t we?

Mary Me · March 8, 2013 3:19 pm

Very much so
And no Sherlock in the meantime NOOO Okay, there's only one way: I'll get me the soundtracks so that I feel reminded of some scenes when sitting in the bus or trying to fall asleep...

I've been using Sherlock as background noise - yay for Netflix!

Mrs.Wenceslas · March 8, 2013 7:37 pm

heyy and happy women´s day to us all!

Sparrow · March 8, 2013 7:44 pm

It shouldn't be women's day. It's mother's day and I think it should have stayed that way instead of being deemed "women's day". Mothers are the bravest things in the world in my opinion and they should have a day just for themselves. You don't do anything to be a woman, but it takes courage to be a mother.

There, I said it.

Erm, Mothers Day and Womens day are 2 different days. They both still exist. It's Mother's day here on Sunday.

SusiGo · March 8, 2013 7:58 pm

And on the second Sunday in May in Germany.

Sparrow · March 8, 2013 8:08 pm

March 8th is mother's day. Or at least it's supposed to be. And while your countries may also celebrate mother's day separately, it's not internationally celebrated. And I simply disagree with turning "Mother's day" into "Women's day". Where I live, Mother's day has recently been alotted the first Sunday of May, but it's not right. I don't like it.

Umm... but we do have a Mother's Day. In May, over here... know it's similar in Canada and UK...not sure about other countries (or variations on the theme). International Women's Day today is simply to highlight women as a whole all over the world and to keep trying to bring attention to the plight of some of them (girls denied education or being forced to marry young, etc), and just to simply celebrate the achievements of them. Kind of really sucks, but still happens. And if you want to use it simply as your right to be a free woman and swoon over certain pictures with no consequence (heck, even encouragement!), well, then.... good thing we have this thread.

besleybean · March 8, 2013 8:15 pm

We are all way off topic. But does it matter which month Mothers day and Womens days are? Surely what matters is that we celebrate them!

Harriet · March 8, 2013 8:17 pm

All agree with you, Russell! Very well said

But I'm not from neither the UK nor Canada. And 10 years ago, March 8th was Mother's day, at least where I live. And I do not agree with the "decision" of changing it into "women's day". I just don't, so sue me. If they wanted a women's day, they should have made that May something, I wouldn't have minded.

It matters to me, obviously.

Anyway, back to topic.
