Yesterday, singing along to Code Blue in the car.

This morning, singing "Fuzzy Bunny is You" to my cat to the tune of "Happy Birthday".

We've been watching more Downton Abbey, and I just spotted a nice article in Newsweek on Highclere Castle, where it's shot. The castle is the family seat of the Earls of Carnarvon -- the 5th Earl being the dude who was along for Howard Carter's discovery of King Tut. The castle also stood in for Totleigh Towers in the Bertie & Jeeves thingies.

Can't find the actual article online, but.... "If crew members dare to life the family's antique chairs ... by the arms rather than the legs, they can expect a playful scolding from the lady of the manor. 'I sometimes have to stop them and say, "Excuse me! You lift a chair by its bottom -- and a woman in your arms"'"

ETA: duh, the actual article is in Time, which has a paywall.
