And Emma got Karl to come all the way from Penrith to visit for a few ( Read more... )

Just updated my interests, ie, I actually added some. So, if anyone actually wanted to know the weird stuff I like, they could look now on my profile. Beware though, the list keeps getting longer, as I keep thinking of things I forgot to put in it.

Picked up a copy of Nobody Nowhere by Donna Williams in a second hand book shop in Beaumont Street( ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention that I finished 'The Minds of Billy Milligan'. It was very good, but quite sad. I hope he has found happiness. It's definately one I'll reread ( Read more... )
