lonelybrit1) Nope, I am still not entirely over that Merlin finale. I am not currently on Tumblr, something I am grateful for as at the moment there seem to be a couple of folks just falling in love with the show. As in starting from S1. The times of innocence and slash dragons and unicorns. I almost feel I should warn them...
2) I have rediscovered the joy of a beautifully written book. I had a 4-hr round train trip today and am now on page 160 of 'The Song of Achilles'. To be fair I did mainly choose it because it was the only one on my 'To Read' pile that was small enough to fit in the bag. In hindsight, beautiful though the words are, possibly reading a tale of Achilles and Patroclus so soon after Camlann might not be the most carthetic of choices. Ah well.

2) It is beautifully written, but it is beautifully written story about the love between Achilles and Patroclus. I know how this one ends. I feel a bit like Joey in that at times I just want to put the book in the freezer as they start heading off for Troy...
