So this is a bit of a stop-gap post; things are still very busy at work and that means I haven’t been reading very much. It’ s on the cards that I won’t complete the Once Upon a Time III challenge as I still haven’t finished my second book with only a couple of days to go before it closes.
But there are some things worth recording:
- Finally a National Treasure is given his due – arise Sir Christopher Lee!
- Andy Murray won at Queen’s Club - roll on Wimbledon
- New stamps with designs by Dave McKean have been issued, with background supplied by one Neil Gaiman- and I got my set this morning (so I’m outed as a stamp collector)
But most importantly, I was lucky enough to get a ticket to a preview of the first episode of the new Torchwood series, Children of Earth. It was absolutely fabulous, and was followed by a discussion panel with John Barrowman and Eve Myles from the cast, the director Euros Lyn and Russell T Davies himself. A fantastic experience, but no spoilers here, I’ll review the whole series over at the Screen God once it’s been broadcast. But believe me, it’s going to be worth watching.
And I promise there will be some book reviews soon.

Holy crap, I am so very jealous. Of the stamps as well – I forgot to buy mine! I’ve just bought an external hard drive, so I may have to wait a few days before justifying the cost of P&P all the way to America, just for some stamps I won’t ever use.
