Much happening at our Casa, so this one is shorter than short. To summarize:

1) The Book People - my other lover. I cannot live without them. The babies cannot live without them. I have a sneaking suspicion that the books, they fall off the backs of trucks. I'm ok with that. My morals, when it comes to literature, are decidedly flexible.

2) Speaking of books, who's in for reviewing The Secret Scripture? Suggestions welcome on a good way of handling this, and as ever I'm on GoodReads and, as I'm a bit of a book whore, delighted to link to anyone who's remotely interested in books, book recommendations, or what drivel I'm reading. I actually enjoyed reading something I normally wouldn't have, and think if we have people who are reading this too, apart from myself and the lovely MsPrufrock, then we can make a go of this. If you've read the book and want to participate, then send me an email or leave a message in the comments.

3) What was that? Can't comment? Oh, don't worry then. As of today/tomorrow, my new digs open (the transfer is going on sometime today, so you may stumble upon the new sight quite suddenly!). Alastair has outdone himself. It loads like lightening, you'll be able to comment, all comments will remain open as I have tighter spam control, and I am absolutely in love with it. Final preps going on as I type this.

Say goodbye to this site as you've known it. It's been wonderful and I'm still (after all these years) slightly in love with the header with the big red heart. I've done a lot of growing here. But the time has come to go. Come with me?

-S.

17 Oh, I will go whereever! I have enjoyed your writing for several years and was inspired to donate to one of your most worthy causes. Such fun to have you come out of the shadows a bit with your real name. Anyway, keep on writin', and today's post put these lyrics in my head, where I am sure they will stay for at least a while. Stay with me, My love I hope you'll always be Right here by my side if ever I need you Oh my love In your arms, I feel so safe and so secure Everyday is such a perfect day to spend Alone with you I will follow you, will you follow me? All the days and nights that we know will be I will stay with you will you stay with me? Just one single tear in each passing year With the dark, Oh I see so very clearly now All my fears are drifting by me, so slowly now Fading away I can say The night is long, but you are here Close at hand, oh I'm better for the smile you give And while I live I will follow you will you follow me? All the days and nights that we know will be I will stay with you, will you stay with me? Just one single tear in each passing year there will be

20 I have been reading your blog for about a year now and apart from your humorous and candid writing style, your blog reminds me of good ol' Blighty. Looking forward to the next phase.
