I think that writing a blog qualifies as writing, so keep up the work, cutie. Plus, thanks for the time off, it does help! And, stop reading over my shoulder…..

I’m glad you liked the 7th book – I think it was one of my favourites. None of them beat the 4th, but I know what you mean about it being really gripping from start to finish. What did you think of the ‘Nineteen Years Later’ part, though? It ties up all the loose ends and stops people from writing awful spin-offs, but it still felt a little cliche to me. Still, I won’t hold it against Ms Rowling, I think she’s great. :]

I’m sorry you’ve all been ill, good to know you’re feeling a bit better and I hope your daughter and wife recover soon too.

I hope you all get better soon and don’t get any more nasties. Kiko has come down with yet another cold which has triggered his asthma and we’re back to living at the doctor’s – oh and his glue ear’s back! The next thing on his to-do list is to pass the lurgy on to us! I had something insightful to say but a tiny voice is ordering me to clean the “caca” (a.k.a. weetbix) off his hands….

Thanks Absolute Vanilla. I’m feeling better. Not sure about the rest of the family. It is cold season already.

Diane – Let me know if you get the iPod. I will have to check out those books.

SzélsőFa – you are right and I try to give her some time off. I hope you get to write too.

Rob – I’ll try to mark spoilers.

I finally bit the bullet and read the first Harry Potter at the beginning of the month, so you’re definitely not the last to finish the series.

It’s very important that Momma gets some time off – if Mom is happy, kid(s) will be happy. I find it that easy.
Still, finding time to run and to get out in general is extremely hard.

I can’t help you with the iPod thing, I’m sorry…

For not writing?
I have not written a single line in a long time.
I have started missing it so badly, but I know I can’t force it.

I want an iPod touch so much. I wanted an iPhone but as they are looking like doing a deal with a different network to the one I am with in the UK, this is the ideal compromise. I can keep my old phone and still have touch screen grooviness to play with. I am a total Apple nut, I confess.

I read HP7 in a weekend and am now about to re-read the ‘His Dark Materials’ trilogy which I also loved. For children’s books, they are remarkably gripping!I read ‘The Book Thief’ by Markus Zusak recently – also supposedly a young adult book and I thought it was excellent. Maybe I’m just a child at heart!

Glad you and your family are getting over the bug. And glad you enjoyed Harry Potter 7 – no, I don’t think you’re the last person in the world to read it – I know someone who’s only just started the series and someone else who’s still busy with book 5. I’ll be interested to hear your further thoughts.
