Marvellous May

It's getting colder and once again the flanny jim jams make their appearance. The time for hot chocolate, movies and books has arrived. I'm hoping for a long chilly winter this year. This is only so that I can become an actual hibernating creature. I have just finished the PhillipPullman triligy. It was heavy going. I find it hard to believe that so many people found the book riveting. I found it tough going at times. The narrative is a bit long winded and I felt like there was a lot of time wasting. GET TO THE GOOD BITS ALREADY!!

Having whinged about that, what do you think? Have you read them or did you see 'The Golden Compass'? That movie was adapted from the first book, 'Northern Lights'.

Enough of that, I'm re-reading the 'Chronicles of Narnia' at the moment. I'm looking forward to 'Prince Caspian' being released. That is my absolute fave of the Narnia stories. It looks pretty good too.

Also keeping a close eye on the trans tasman trophy. The Firebirds are still going off, but last nights games between the Vixens and the Swifts was a nail biter. Big Hurrahs to the Vixens who managed to giddy up by just one goal. That would be why Sharelle is the best. We love you Sharelle.
