What's happening in your world?

[Farseer]

Heh heh
OMG the library has Songs of Love and Death on order and I put a hold and I am second in the queue! Wheeeee!

Nice!

Also happening in my world....... hope there's not too much more rain

Plenty of Tassie's flooding drama on the news here. Storms here yesterday/last night with quite a fall of rain...must be more on the way today because I'm m-e-l-t-i-n-g (said in a Wizard of Oz witch-like manner)!

Hey isn't Robin Hobb going to be there end of APRIL (not March?)

Yes, sorry, I had a little thought after I posted that I may have put the wrong month, and meant to come back and edit (so people didn't turn up in Belgium in March! ). The whole trip to Europe revolves around the Gallipoli Dawn Service so it would have been a long wait for that if I headed over a month before...!

Are you still thinking of going to Ireland?

Sure am! I did decide to put it off until 2012 though, especially after I had already decided to head to Europe this year. Available time is the largest problem as I can't just take off when I feel like it, and have to work around school terms (not to mention other things the kids are up to during the holidays that I want to attend). The only reason why Europe suited, time-wise, was because it will be in the last week of Term One and into the whole of the Easter break.

Have heaps of money to outlay all of a sudden though and Europe seems like the least of the priorities. It's like a wishlist item...while I would really enjoy seeing the sights etc, and definitely would get emotional on ANZAC Day (I think you'd have to be a rock to not shed a tear in that environment!), I am not at all attracted by the "shopping" aspects, like an extra couple of days allocated in Paris just for that (how very unfeminine of me! ). Shopping is shopping no matter where it happens but the sights and countryside are unique...

Will see what happens. It may be that I am too late to change my mind anyway, due to bookings having been made in advance.
