I am going to Reading, to spend the evening with Ali, and we'll be 
going to Waterstones at midnight to pick up our copies.  We've made 
a pact, as neither of us like spoilers, that we have to know what 
page the other person is up to before we start talking about it.  
I'm not sure how long I'll read for that night - I'm determined to 
take it slower this time, and I don't want to spoil the experience 
by reading when I'm over tired.  Mickey is going to drive me back, 
so I can read in the car, and I am spending today cleaning so I 
don't have to do anything over the weekend (and have told Mickey 
that he shouldn't expect his meals cooked for him either).
