Well we beat Argentina. It was quite LOUD chez Faery, what with him indoors shouting and waving lager cans about, but we had a more civilised bottle of Pinot Grigio to really celebrate. With hotdogs. The tea of Kings.
The new office continues to be great. I have so much ROOM. Goth boy seems to like it too, probably because we got new tea/coffee/sugar cannisters and they are BLACK. What he doesn't know yet is we are getting desk lamps - BLACK ones. He is away this weekend playing D and D. What a trooper of the Goth community :-)
I am nearly at the end of reading THUD by Terry Pratchett. What to read next is up for debate. Its either "John" by Cynthia Lennon or a Phillip Pullman. The Cynthia Lennon thing is smaller and therefore readable in the bath, but i fancy the Pullman more. Except its massive and liable to water logging....

NEVER read anything in the bath - I once dropped Dad's omnibus edition of Jeeves into the bath water and had to iron each page dry before he would forgive me. It took AGES!!!!
ReplyDeleteMan...I once tried drinking soda and eating chips in the bath, dropped it all and, well it was disgusting. Chips dipped in bathwater just isn't right.
ReplyDeleteIf the Pullman is His Dark Materials, then just take one book out of the trilogy into the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteSorted.
Mum - that was a massive book!
ReplyDeleteMangey - you mean chips as in what we call crisps yes? Not chips as in fries?? That would be weird to eat them in the bath :-)
Steve - Yes its Dark Materials and its a huge hardback anthology of all three in one. I need a lecturn to read it. I still plumped for the Pullman though. Iron is on standby...
