It's that day again

I am already more than half way through Black Powder War, which is excellent and I'm going to be very impatient waiting for the next Temeraire book.

Um, I may also have got a few chapters into Persuasion. Er.

Books are just not safe around me! You know what I'd love? A week where I could just forget all about responsibilities, jobs and even writing and just read solidly. That would be a heavenly holiday. Anyone want to reassure me that I'm not crazy to have two three books on the go by reciting your current reading list?

However, the short holiday that I did get was lovely. I read a lot over the weekend, I got far more writing done than I ever imagined I would and I rested a bit. The writing, though, I'm very pleased with because Mage Murders is starting to feel like a novel. Hopefully a novel that will get finished.

Les Miserables on Thursday was absolutely amazing: I'd forgotten just how good it is live. The voices were fantastic, Valjean and Javert were well matched, and the music was as good as it always is. Definitely retains its title as my favourite musical :-)

Now, sadly, it's Monday and I'm back at work again *sigh* However, it's Easter in a couple of weeks which means that I'll get a couple of short weeks then. And it's now only five days until new Doctor Who :-) Da and I are planning a trip into London on Saturday to visit bookshops, but we'll be making darned sure that we're back well before 7pm.

Is there even any point in mentioning that the data warehouse has fallen over and my reports aren't running? As usual?
