Finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I won't post any spoilers here in case others were as slow as me and haven't finished but I have to say I loved it. I loved it for many reason but the most was reading in tandem with my eldest ds who is dyslexic. Two years ago when the last book was out we read the book together - I read ten pages he read two. It was a wonderful experience that we both treasure. This year after the opening chapter he took and the read the book himself while I read his brother's copy. He didn't need me any more but still wanted to discuss everything in great detail. Last night after dinner and we sat at the table and discussed the best bits for each one of us and it was brilliant. At times like this I thank God for ds1's perseverance and not giving up on reading because it was so bloody hard. Somehow along the way he found the strength to keep going and loves books now and knows their joy. HP was a joy and even more so to share with him. So a huge thank you to JK.

Sick Days

Well, the side bar works - sort of. My word counter still looks like its been through the slicing machine but I can up date it.

Not much to report as big ds was still home sick today. Managed to eek out just over 100 words while watching Love Actually and Harry Potter 4 with him. Interesting choice of films I know but a teenager is an interesting creature!
