We waved little Sidney off into the big, wide world, the night before last. He chirruped loudly at us, as if to say ‘Thanks, you KIDNAPPING SCUMBAGS!’, and then pottered around the garden for about ten minutes before disappearing into the hedge, natch. Ah, it seems like only yesterday that he was just a tiny handful of sleeping hedgehog... wait, it was two days ago. Okay then.
What next, Oxford? I’m hoping balloon rides, or a puppy.

You know, it's a shame The Tent vanished in the move. I just finished it, and I really thought it was interesting and thought-provoking.
And oh, cool - I'm sure it'll turn up sometime, it's just managed to get into a box NOT labelled "books".
:-)
I also just read "Swallows and Amazons," although I'm not sure if that was on your rec or not, but it was a very charming book. I quite enjoyed it.
And, ooh - I've no idea if I recommended Swallows and Amazons, but if not, I certainly would. I always wanted to be Nancy (who used to be Ruth, but changed her name because pirates are ruthless, w00t!). There's a whole series, and I found them deeply involving. Now I want to re-read them!
I'm reading Rough Crossings (the first book on my To Be Read list). It's brilliant. I keep meaning to post something about it for IBARW - although I've not finished it, but it's very appropriate.
I actually had the book, hadn't read it, hadn't read it...and then it was suddenly due, with no renewals, and I finished it in less than 24 hours. Deadlines, people. They work.
I'd be very interested in your thoughts on Rough Crossings, for IBARW, or after.
