Yes, milady. . .

Tonight was spent in front of the TV again. I love my Netflix subscription, and today's mail brought disc one of the Manor House DVD series. It was facinating to watch. I'm so glad I didn't live in Edwardian England. I wouldn't have wanted to have been a scullery maid, nor would I have wanted to have spent five or six hours a day dressing to be proper for the meals and such. There are still two more discs to go in the series, and I cannot wait to see them. I thought this was much more interestring and enjoyable to watch than The 1900 House although I did enjoy 1940s house this is still much more interestring than either of those. (I liked the Dad getting his dream of building an Anderson shelter in the 1940s house. It wasn't as he had expected.) I cannot believe the extravagence of Edwardian England. I wonder if our neighbors across the pond would still be living like that had there not been the world wars. Since I only have disc one so far, I'm wondering if they will get a scullery maid who will stay, and even wondering further why anyone would volunteer for such a project knowing they would be the scullery maid! I suppose to each his or her own, though.
