Spent the day at Leeds Uni, copying what looks like a mammoth article for my Derrida lecture on Friday (its mammoth size having intimidated me into not opening it yet), and returning books to the library.
Stopped at OxFam, a charity shop, on the way home to look at books, and managed to find both The Napoleon of Notting Hill and The Incredulity of Father Brown by Chesterton. Two big discoveries: the Notting Hill is a recent edition, which means that GKC is finally back in print (including his ever-hysterical Autobiography – who knew George Bernard Shaw starred in a cowboy film?), and the oldish-looking Father Brown appears to be, in fact, a first edition! And I picked them up for under a fiver (~$10US)! Yay, bookshopping.
Got home after dark, or approximately 3:45pm (okay, so it was closer to 5pm), and started putting on layers for the annual outing to see the Bonfire Night fireworks. Note to Grandmas: I’m staying warm. Years of living in
Got some texts too, which I'd reply to, but it's pay-as-you-go, and expensive. So here:
Fi: Aww! Sorry you missed the fireworks; but the theatre sounds fun too! :)
Claudio: Sounds like fun! Hope there weren't any explosive-related injuries! ;)
Iain: No.

Finally found you - as usual enjoying the pictures from your travels. Just issued the usual thanksgiving event invite, sorry you will be unlikely to make it here. Right know it seems the majority of the Jandas, Grandpa Maury & Joyce and Nana will be coming...
