Chapter One: The Dark Lord Ascending

Last night Andrew & I stayed up until 12:01am. We logged on to the Bloomsbury website to listen to JK Rowling read the first chapter from HP7, live from the Museum of London. It was an historical event as everyone, all around the world could do the same. We huddled together on the dining room settee and listened, it sent shivers down your spine and reminded me of everyone huddled round the radio when the war ended or the TV when Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. Maybe not quite as historically important as either of those events but still definitely as exciting :O)
We were woken up this morning by Liam & Lisa creeping round the house. They were off to Woolworths to collect the books when it opened at 8:00am. They were back a few minutes later laden with orange bags containing 'The Deathly Hallows'! Thank you xXx I have to be at work at 2pm this afternoon so I'm off now to read my long awaited book :O) Elena went to drama this morning and came home and made even more balloons :O)
