Don't post here if you don't want to know who dies and what happens.

You've been warned.

Well!

I've read the lot.

Well!

Sigh

Sad isn't it?

Fabbie Argyll. Well done to you all, you'll love it. This place has well and truly got under my skin and I can't envisage myself living anywhere else at the moment.

And HP LIVES and gets married to Ginny and Ron marries Hermoine and they all procreate.

Even Draco.

Peaks are fine - not flooded, just very wet, and localised flooding on some houses where the farmers haven't maintained drainage dykes in recent years...

Ah, yes! With the lightning that never hits the ground because it's too dry and hot to rain.

We're away to Argyll in September, thankfully.

Funny, I wound up in Colorado by default - the ex got a transfer.

I used to hate it.

Then I realised how much it got under my skin.

I cannot live in a British urban environment and be happy.

Too crowded, too densely packed.

I need the wilderness, I need to see it, to know it's just there, waiting for us.

It's now 100, well has been. And forecast for the same all weekend, with the usual 8 drops of rain which you'll remember well . Glorious summer here, loving it. Art festival on Pearl St tomorrow for me and friends and their boy, paddle in the pop fountain for the kids - maybe a Ben and Jerry's later. How's that sound? So when you moving and where you moving to. Congrats btw!!

Oh really? Blimey! I'd heard that Worcs & the Cotswolds were swamped (I work for a holidays cottage company and we've been trying to find alternative accommodation this evening) but not the Peaks.

Good luck tonight and tomorrow.

alipigwidgeon · 21/07/2007 01:15

Chilled chardonnay - yum. I've got a grenache here -slurp cheers. Blimey hope there isn't a huge queue tomorrow - I've other things to do with my life .

Still feckin raining with more forcast for tomorrow.....still hot, with only chilled Chardonnay for respite???

alipigwidgeon · 21/07/2007 01:04

I found a spoiler thread here in the USA a few days ago - looks like they were right. I'm still going to read it. Still raining Pan? Have you got webbed feet yet? If boys' father was having them tonight I'd have been off at midnight. Sadly it's not to be so it will be in the queue at B&N tomorrow instead.

Pan · 21/07/2007 01:02

Thank you muchly!
