I can't call it virtue
The weather is currently such that it is pleasant to be outside, so that's what I do, and meanwhile there are all these weeds to be pulled and lawns to be mowed.

Not exactly canon
In which I give a superficial and incomplete review...
I've been watching a BBC series called The Musketeers. It has little similarity with the original books except character names - instead of d'Artagnan trying to join the regiment to make his fortune and sorta-kinda-by-accident challenging three different men to a duel (who happen to be best ( Read more... ) -
Can't sleep
