Headed to Hilo for the day for meetings. Starting the morning with coffee, a breakfast sandwich & a little reading. This one is for #FictionalTraveler March: #BigCity prompt.

#PemberLittens I've been a bit offline for March because my Mr Darcy turned 60! How did that happen? His Birthday Wishes: to putter about in his workshop (which we've named The Putterage), weekend trip to Texas Pinball Festival, and Hummingbird Cake. He has a couple more days of Staycation. Currently he is happily changing the oil in lawn mower. He works a stressful job, mowing is his therapy. 🥳

No matter how many times I read this proposal it still has the same impact on me. 😬
Ch. 33/34: After running into Darcy repeatedly during walks at Rosings, Lizzy finally runs into Col. Fitzwilliam instead. He brags about Darcy having saved a friend (Bingley) from a marriage to some trash lady (Jane), and Elizabeth is rightfully incensed. Then Darcy barges in with one of the worst proposals ever written. Every time I read it, I marvel that he ever redeems himself because this proposal is St-John-from-Jane-Eyre levels of offensive.
Caught the last half of the Greer Garson P&P (at a weird angle from across the room), which I had never seen before. Was utterly distracted by the women's dresses. They were HUGE & not remotely appropriate to the time period. From what I saw of it, it seems more "based on the book" rather than a faithful representation- & Austen's claws had been sheathed- but it made me curious to watch again & try to catch the whole thing. #JaneAustenThenAndNow
#Pemberlittens its mid-month check in. How's it going? I was doing 2 Chapters a Day, got behind, caught up and then couldn't stop. I've been to Pemberley and will finish reading today.

#Pemberlittens we have SPAM in the
#JaneAustenThenAndNow tag. Apparently this person is so knowledgeable but thinks I wrote Pride and Prejudice. 🙄
Fun Fact: You can block users on Litsy. I've never had to do that.
Hotness = truthfulness, obvs (Although Darcy is also said to be hot so how does one decide which hot man to trust?? 🤔)

Ch.27/28: Lizzy is in her traveling era, with a trip to Hunsford and an invitation from her aunt to visit Derbyshire and the Lakes once summer hits. At the Parsonage, Elizabeth can see how Charlotte manages to make the best of her less-than-perfect situation, e.g. encouraging Collins to be in the garden at all times and selecting a room at the back of the house (out of his way!) to be her personal parlor. Charlotte Collins, making it work!
