What a thriller!

Whoever came up with this idea to keep Filipino prisoners occupied was a genius.

One last thing...

oh and if I die, can I have the coffin in picture number 7 please? Very fitting.

Jordandre

Lovely to see that Jordan and Peter Andre have gone for a low-key, attention-avoiding name - Princess Tiaamii - for their new daughter.
"We've put an accent over the first A to make it more exotic and two Is at the end just to make it a bit different"

Because having parents who look like Barbie & Ken doesn't make the kid different enough, does it? Given that she narrowly avoided being called Tinkerbell, it could conceivably have been worse I suppose.

The saga comes to a close

Well.

I'm extremely mindful that my biggest fear - and the reason I raced through the latest and last Harry Potter at a fair old speed - was that someone might ruin it for me by giving me even the merest hint of what might happen and therefore I shan't be posting anything on here which could give anyone still reading (or yet to read) any clues.

All I'll say then is that I wasn't disappointed for a moment.

Big night

As you may have guessed, my internet access is, at best, sporadic. I've just been staying at my friends Sophie & Dan's while they've been on holiday* and they don't have wireless broadband (the heathens!) and I swear to God** I felt like I'd been cut off from the whole universe. Which, in a sense, I suppose I was.

Anyway, enough of this nonsense. Tonight is, as you will no doubt be aware, a momentous and long-awaited occasion. HP7: the saga comes to a close. At once both incredibly exciting and incredibly sad. I shall be collecting my copy at midnight and reading through the night, each turn of the page an intrepid journey into the unknown. I shall race to finish it, heart in mouth and hands all a-tremble, and cry when I do; of that I have no doubt. Then I'll turn to page 1 and begin again.

I shan't post any spoilers, rest assured.

My last birth before leaving the job

Twins, first (right), boy, born in water, second (left), girl, footling breech on all fours. Me, bra showing like a hussy, very proud*.

Bugger

Got knocked off my bike this evening and ended up with my leg trapped under the bike, which was under the front of a car. Can't walk on my right ankle at all, which is swollen to buggery,
though thank god there's no actual breaks (went to A&E just in case). Fella who hit me admitted liability straight away so that will make things easier.

Ouch ouch bloody ouch. I'm very cross.
