At Last

I queued up for an hour to pick up the last Harry Potter book this morning. Some people were actually upset at the length of the queue and asked how to complain. If the queue had bothered me I would have waited until the afternoon however as I had pre-ordered and wanted the Hedwig toy I was prepared to queue. An hour wasn't very long and most people were happy to wait even those with little muggles in their arms! We won't see Ellen for a while!

Nothing to report?

Actually a few things have happened in the last week. Mum and Dad returned from their jaunt around Europe, I have had a weeks holiday and it has rained for most of the week. People are starting to complain about the rain! Canberra is still on level 3 water restrictions and the dams have only crept back up to about forty percent of capacity but after about a month of rain (not all the time or we would be having floods like they have had in other parts of Australia) it would be nice to see some sunshine for more than half an hour at a time. It is also cold so that adds to the misery!! The bad news about my parents Europe trip is that my Dads new digital SLR (camera) was stolen two days before they were due to return. Unfortunately he had a single large capacity memory card so he also lost all the pictures that he had taken. This has made me rethink getting a really large memory card and to stick with smaller cards for when (Louise would say "if" at this point) we go on holiday.
