Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter and the Deathly HallowsI just had txt with Becky.

She now knows I have my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. At least us Brits get some things before them damn Yankees ;)

I told her the queue outside Tesco, The Meadows, in Camberley was big... it surprised me too; there must have a hundred plus people waiting there when I turned up at ten minutes to midnight.

Becky had offered that when her copy turns up on our doorstep tomorrow morning I can read it... but I couldn't resist being part of the bundle for the last book in the Harry Potter... er... septology?

Right, I'm off to finish a bit more of it now; I told here that at the foot of page 35 it says;
"Back in his bedroom, Harry fiddled aimlessly with his"
But she didn't want to know in case I spoiled the plot...

    Deathly Hallows - I thought this was his Deathly Goodbye's. A good buy for old JK though.

    Brom: I think you could be right... ;)

    JK's a multi-millionaire and good on her. Though I'm 130 pages in and frustrated that it's only just getting going... I'm no speed reader so I understand why films are good for the sanity...

    well, erm, i just wanted to say, entirely OFF topic that the butchers by my work sells chicken lever. is that something to do with you?

    So I was supposed to pick up that book for my kids today, was I. Oh well. Getting what you want too easily is bad for the soul.

    Jemima: *snort* Chicken lever paté? LOL Nah, not me mate. I'm an instrument for tipping the balance...

    As for getting what you want too easily, I think some things need to be worked for and others that are unobtainable may be so for a reason. A beer or a glass of wine tonight is what needs to be earned.

    Mummy/Crit: Crikey mate, you done well :) I'm not far off finishing it now, less than a hundred pages... I had to help my neighbour start his car so I lost some valuable reading time but now I'm gonna have a cuppa and go read in the sunshine...

    Rebekah: Well I hope your copy turns up tomorrow, you gotta read it; fast for 130 pages and then the story starts. Well, that's what I thought, but I prefer action to teenage twittering :)

    Oh, and your copy has more pages, so Becky said last night, so I dunno if your page 35 is the same...

    My BBFK: Likewise babe, she did do a good job.

    Different fronts aye? What've you got under the covers, sweetie, I want you to show me... ;) :p

    Re:..populating it..

    What can I say? My brain in its present condition is finding it difficult to take in new things very well.

    Hopefully by the time the HPDH movie comes out I will have done something with it. :)
