Resurfacing

Again, it's been a long time. So full of work, work and more work (interspersed with a 4-day trip to Kiev (which, accidentally, caused more work) that most days I just went to the gym after office, came home, ate something and fell into bed. Well, I also managed to see some friends as well, and to watch Hitchhiker's Guide (thumbs down) and Batman Begins (twice, thumbs very much up)and do a few other pleasant things. But on the whole it's been a very stressful time, and I sorely need my holiday which starts in a week.

And, of course, I read HBP - managed to finish it by 3 a.m. today, since I wasn't able to read it without interruption as I'd originally planned to do.

Anyway, here goes. ( First very random thoughts, including spoilers of course )

There'd be so much more, but 1) I'm really tired and 2) I got to varnish my toenails. First things first.
