Ooooh! The History Boys is coming to Leeds in Octoboer, yay! Snithy, you must come and visit me! We shall bemoan the insufficiently pretty Dakin and I shall force you to join in the traditional month-long Halloween fest that is October in my house. Perhaps we shall even eat cake!

In other news... I had something else to say, but I forgot. Oh yes! Peter Pan in Scarlet! I have been on a big old-school book-reading jaunt the past couple of weeks, and although, being written in 2006, PPIS (nice acronym!) is not technically old-school, it is Peter Pan-related, and Peter Pan is old-school and thus, totally counts. See also, Captain Hook: the Adventures of a Notorious Youth. Anyway, go and read it, it's awesome. Read both, in fact. I bought the beautiful centenary edition of the original Peter Pan book a couple of weeks ago, thinking I would give it to Jess and Alan for Squidley, until James pointed out that a book about children running away or being lost was possibly not the wisest choice of gift for new parents. Plus it was too nice to waste on a stupid baby, anyway. So now it's mine, and Squidley has a book about a tiger who loses his smile and goes on an adventure to find it. I kind of wanted to keep that one, too, but I resisted.

Anyway, my time is almost up and I must go and buy oven cleaner (sigh!) and other boring things, so adieu!

"So, Pan," said Hook at last, "this is all your doing."

"Ay, James Hook," came the stern answer, "it is all my doing."

"Proud and insolent youth," said Hook, "prepare to meet thy doom."

"Dark and sinister man," Peter answered, "have at thee."

Sounds good to me! (except the halloween bit but cake may soften the blow!)

Do you have money on your mobile by the way? I keep texting and you ignore me!
