News you cannot live without: i have an ENORMOUS bite on my left ankle that has been giving me grief for days and i'm ready to take a grater to it, it's so itchy.

And now for something completely different.

el lodger is going to teach me swahili. i stunned her by knowing one word of swahili. Bwana. It means 'sir' or similar term of respect to a man.

12 days to HP7 and then a weeks holiday to follow.......

...and now to go and pester mini-me for my dinner.
