Pottery

Well, I didn't quite line up to get a copy at midnight, but I did go to my local Tesco's on Saturday afternoon and buy the latest (and last) Harry Potter book. And I interrupted myself reading 'The Book Thief' to start it. I'm four chapters in and so far, it's just as Pottertastic as any of the other books (take from that whatever you will!) Review to follow...

News still coming...

Sorry to be such a tease. I haven't got the official confirmation I've been waiting for so I'm still not ready to reveal my new life plan to the huddled masses. It is coming soon though. I promise. (I hope!)

Camping

I got back yesterday afternoon from a week's camping (yes, camping. In tents. In that weather...) with the Girl Guides. It was an International camp, hosted by IGG (that's the Irish Girl Guides, to the uninitiated) at Tattersalls in Ratoath, Co Meath. We had 25 Guides from Counties Kildare and Dublin and 2 from Singapore.

It was awful. It rained every day. Several times. Except for Friday, when it only rained once. It just didn't stop all day. I spent most of the week damp or wet, with rain running down the back of my neck.

We're currently planning on where to go next year. Iceland or San Francisco, maybe...

Lost Girls by Alan Moore & Melinda Gebbie

OK, so I read this months ago and never put it up as a review. Why? Well, there's lots of stuff that I read that doesn't get reviewed on my blog: magazines, newspapers, trashy romances, and (apparently) porn. Now, it's not that I'm embarrassed or anything; just that it never really crossed my mind to include this with all the rest of my reading material. Anyway, Con outed me on his blog (in a post not called "My Wife Reads Porn") for reading this and wanted me to post my comments on it, so I figured I go one better.

So, Lost Girls is a three volume boxed set of graphic novel/coffee-table-porn, in which Alice (in Wonderland), Dorothy (not in Kansas anymore) and Wendy (without the Lost Boys) each retell the story their sexual awakenings, with plenty of shagging in a wide variety of positions, locations and partners. It's pretty hornsome in spots too.
