I am Glorious Irisirus Horsehoundus
Daughter to a derelict old pair
Wife to an honourable workaholic
and I will have my cake and eat it
in this kitchen and yours.

I LOVE Maximus so much so that I've had him spread over my small domestic screen alllllll afternoon. And what a masculine distraction he is.
Love the part where he kills the tiger, giggle ridiculously when he recreates with the help of a few other sorts, the battle of Carthage...And gasp with respect when finally he faces Caesar. What a spectacle!

But there's a gory flip side to this bloody pleasure....I get ALL BEHIND!!!
Barely a helmet was polished or a cat fed.
But my God he was worth it....
