I did my first Week 2 run today. The same amount of running and walking, but arranged differently: it was a minute and a half of running followed by 2 minutes of walking, repeated six times. Not too taxing, apart from one killer of an uphill. But i made it, and the really amazing thing [...]

We have decided not to go to Portsmouth today because the weather is cold and wet. This means that my whole day has been thrown into disarray and i have no idea what to do today! Part of me wants to get on and catch up with all the chores that i didnt do yesterday [...]

Happy Caturday! :) I am eating hot porridge oats and a cup of coffee … what a nice way to wake up.
The last two weekends i have been stuck in front of my computer, programming. Whilst that is very satisfying for me, it has taken its toll since i tend to spend every day at [...]

I forgot, in my previous post, to write about this so-called encyclopaedia that Jo Rowling is possibly supposed to be thinking about maybe writing some day …
It appears that Steve Vander Ark had the idea to print out the Harry Potter Lexicon and sell it as a book. Jo, quite rightly, says:
It is not reasonable, [...]

I am confused. JK Rowling has written "The Beetle and The Bard" - the book of fairy tales including "The Tale of the Three Brothers" and, incredibly enough, "Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump"! But what i don't get … they're not going to be published?? There are just seven copies, apparently, hand-written, and all [...]

Gay Remus Lupin is movie-canon! Well, in Prisoner of Azkaban, at least! ;)
David Thewlis says:
The funny thing when Alfonso Cuaron directed The Prisoner of Azkaban, the first film that I appear in, he had the idea that Lupin was gay and he described my character like a 'gay junkie' …
It's great, when you think you [...]

Heheh, i'm only joking. I noticed that in Philosopher's Stone, Nicholas Flamel is described as Dumbledore's partner … with the knowledge that Dumbledore was gay, we could now re-interpret that. Oh, but wait, Philosopher's Stone also tells us that Nicholas was married to Perenelle Flamel.
So the 'obvious' conclusion … Nicholas Flamel was bisexual AND polyamorous!!
I [...]

We are having a completely lovely long weekend away. Yesterday we went out to the ancient Roman town Trier and had a look in the Constantine museum; it was very interesting but terribly crowded. We went to look at the Porta Nigra and saw Karl Marx's birthplace (from the outside). We also had a lovely [...]

Would you believe it? Another little holiday! Well, we are just going to Germany for a long weekend. Hopefully get some Christmas shopping in at the same time! :)
I have one more day at work, and then off for six days. This seems very nice. I am looking forward to it. Suzie is going to [...]

At Liam's request i have enabled the img tag in comments, so feel free to post your own cat macros in response! ;)
Today is a nice slow-going day. I have loads of chores to do, but don't much care. It's a long weekend - there's plenty of time! ;) I went out into town with [...]
