Made it to Bath--Missed the Jane Austin Festival!

IT was last month! Drats! BUt that's OK, I didn't like her.

From CVirtue:

1: Name a CD you own that no-one else on your friends list does, and describe it: Harp Celtica;
just bought it in a little cistercian church in borgogne region of france; harp tunes, that the harpist was playing in the church.

2: Name a book you own that no-one else on your friends list does, and describe it:
British Version of TPratchett's Going Postal, without stamp from Waterstones. Currently on walkabout.

3: Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that no-one else on your friends list does, and describe it:
My knighting. It's on VHS, and it's my knighting.

4: Name a place that you have visited that no-one else on your friends list has, and describe it:
Wow. How about Kitimat, BC? Granite rocks, swamps, and a deepwater port in a town of 7500 with housing for 10,000.

And then there was Teddy Bear Traitor's Cloister.

Now, look: you've got to explain these things! The man only gets online for short periods of time!

It was a display that, well, I hope a lot of kids DIDN'T see. A toystore. Before Easter. The shop window was filled with a big green piece of cardboard, and it looked like teddy bears had their heads poked through, and flower petals put around their necks. A spring field full of teddy bears, very cute, very Anne Geddes.

Except several had fallen, revealing that there were no suspended pilloried bears behind the board -- it was all Decapitated Bears! A couple dozen at least.
