We had a real stonking bank holiday weekend here - just gorgeous. I went camping in a field near Bath with a bunch of friends.

A drawback of buying things like tents on the internet - I couldn't really judge how big it was going to be in RL. The answer is that it is staggeringly big! It weighs 40 kilos which should have been the clue, as that is almost a person. Nevermind, it is nice to be able to stand up and move around in it.

We were next to a field of horses, who galloped around, whinnying and playing all night. It was like the secret life of horses! By day, acting all nonchalant and chewing grass, by night, partying. The boy done it really good, staying asleep until 0500, which may sound ridiculously early, but is actually an hour later than he woke me frinstance last night. As I write that, I can't believe this is my life. No wonder I fell asleep during the meditation at yoga today! I never knew a person could be alive for so long on so little sleep.

Ooh ooh! My copy of Sarah Rees Brennan's book, The Demon's Lexicon arrived yesterday. Anyone who is/was in the Harry Potter fandom probably knows of her as mistful on LJ, now sarahtales. I am utterly beside myself with excitment, but don't want to read it in bits and pieces, so I'm gonna wait until DB can take over boy duty and give me a good few hours to demolish it. Then I get to head over to marmaladefish on LJ to squee with the other fangirls and boys.
