You probably think I mean the year, and you would be half right. It is almost the end of the year, and very close to Christmas now, but more on that later. What I really mean is that the Harry Potter series is almost over, you are probably now looking rather blankly at the screen "What on Earth is she talking about?" you are probably saying, and your hand is reaching for the white pages, ready to find the emergency number for the mental health team, please though give me time to finish.
Now I expect everyone who is bothering to read my blog has heard of Harry Potter, even if you have never read them. I am a fan, I love them, and as soon as I finish one I am hanging out for the next one to come out, in this I am not alone, thousands of people right around the world are lapping up every little piece of Harry Potter news they can get. So when JK Rowling revealed the title of book seven on her website the level of excitement went up a few notches. This is always big news when a new book is due to come out, but even more so this time when you consider that this is the final, last ever book in the series. It was big enough to be the leading news story last night, or perhaps it was just a quiet day for news...
Anyway, for those of you who have a little bit of interest in the title, read on, for those of you whose attention has been reduced to almost nil by this boring subject, feel free to scroll down and find out what other things I have been up to since I last wrote. Now that I have the attention of only those who want to discuss, or those that are bored enough to read anyway (are you really that ready for christmas?) the title Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been confirmed as the title of the final book. Speculation has already begun, a lot of people seem to think it relates to Halloween, which is the anniversary of Harry's parents death. My take on it however is this: The Deathly Hallows actually relates to the room at the Ministry of Magic where the veil hangs, the one Sirius dissappeared behind. Either the room itself is called the Deathly Hallows, or it is the name of the place behind the veil. Now to spend the time until the book comes out making stuff up and being completely wrong, should be fun.
Alright, back to real life. Well I have finished work until Thursday, five whole days off work, that is going to be so nice. I have also managed to finish my christmas shopping, and I did that about a week ago, so I have been able to avoid the horrible rush at the shopping centres. Last weekend I went up to Temora with mum, David (my brother), and cousin Jodie to visit my Nanna, and other family who live up there. It was really nice spending time with them, we ate plenty, and talked, nice and relaxing.
Otherwise I have been at work most of the time, very boring I know, but it pays for all those christmas presents I bought, and stuff for me too (hooray). For christmas I am going to Camden, where my sister, Rebecca, lives with her husband and three little boys, so that should be fun. I will let you all know how it goes when I get back. For now, have a lovely Christmas everyone, enjoy the time off and time with family and/or friends. Remember that the reason we celebrate is because of God's amazing gift to us, his son Jesus, who came to take away the sins of the Earth, amazing love!
"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy, that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord" Luke 2: 10-11
