An excuse for a post

So this is a bit of a stop-gap post; things are still very busy at work and that means I haven’t been reading very much. It’ s on the cards that I won’t complete the Once Upon a Time III challenge as I still haven’t finished my second book with only a couple of days to go before it closes.

But there are some things worth recording:

• Finally a National Treasure is given his due – arise Sir Christopher Lee!
• Andy Murray won at Queen’s Club – roll on Wimbledon
• New stamps with designs by Dave McKean have been issued, with background supplied by one Neil Gaiman– and I got my set this morning (so I’m outed as a stamp collector)

But most importantly, I was lucky enough to get a ticket to a preview of the first episode of the new Torchwood series, Children of Earth. It was absolutely fabulous, and was followed by a discussion panel with John Barrowman and Eve Myles from the cast, the director Euros Lyn and Russell T Davies himself. A fantastic experience, but no spoilers here, I’ll review the whole series over at the Screen God once it’s been broadcast. But believe me, it’s going to be worth watching.

And I promise there will be some book reviews soon.
