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!
