Musketeers ride!

[la_marquise]

So, I will be on BBC Three Counties Radio's Drivetime show tomorrow, sometime between 4 and 5 in the afternoon, talking about the historical d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Which only goes to show, I suppose, that obsessions can lead one to some unexpected places. I'm fairly nervous about it -- this is the BBC! Eep! But then again, I do love to talk about my musketeers.

Skirt of the day: unreliable burgundy cotton.
(It's unreliable because it spends more time in the mending pile than the wardrobe, as it's rather too fragile for its own good.)

This is great! and I am sure you will be, too.

It's scarier than Glastonbury radio, for sure!

Oh well done!

We just saw the trailer for the movie (which is presumably the justification for your radio summons?) and are conflicted about whether to see it or not.

(Do you get to see a preview?)

(I find myself in sudden need of a swashbuckler icon...)

No preview, alas. But I will be going to see it. Most assuredly.

I wish I could listen to you, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, even though I'm sure you don't need it.

By the way, are you familiar with Pierre Pevel's 'The Cardinal Blades'? When my favorite musketeer made a cameo appearance halfway though the book I'm sure my delighted squeack was heard all the way to Paris.

Whee! And afterwards, we want the iPlayer link!

This is most excellent.

Ooh, you'll be wonderful. I saw the trailer in the cinema last week and my first thought was 'What would Kari make of this?'

[suzannemcleod.livejournal.com]

That's very cool. Will it be available to listen to online later? (Since I don't get BBC radio.)

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

It should be -- the link is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p001d7rw

How lovely and splendid! The swordsticks are stuck in limbo, waiting for someone who can formally authenticate them as being Old. I am harrying one of our museums.

These things take time.

Excellent - will try to remember to listen.
