From the Soapox Episode 1

This is a little scary as I am getting no professional help from my 'team of experts'... so here goes.

I just finished reading HP The Deathly Hallows; I know I'm a little late, but I have excellent excuses. Firstly, it was ordered for me from Amazon by my nearest and dearest and, of course, I couldn't get it on the release date. And, secondly, when a sympathetic librarian friend of mine dropped in a copy last Sunday, said nearest and dearest grabbed it and proceeded to hog it for the next few days. This was very strange indeed as it was the first time he has ever picked up a copy of the HP's let alone actually read one. Although he has been dragged to every single movie and forced to eat HP lollies and listen to HP movie trailers as I played them over, and over, and over... What a good sport my N&D is!

In any case, I loved the book and will probably do my usual trick of rereading it asap. Thank God JK restrained herself and didn't knock off everyone close to Harry; "Good on you JK! The world is thankful".

Today it is cold and mostly grey in Bathurst, but we have no complaints as we 've had a good amount of rain and the countryside is thankful.

We were busy last weekend putting some colour at the back door, nice and close so we don't have to go outside in the cold to see them. Pictures below. Laurence requires I put a disclaimer in. HE DID NOT TAKE THESE PHOTOS AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM IN ANY WAY OR FORM.

I can't understand the fuss, my shadow is there on purpose so one can see that a person has taken the picture, makes it more personal don't you think?
