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.

Nope! Home videos don't count, however significant.

(slaps self on head) BATH! I loved Bath!

Go early as possible to the roman baths -- no one will be there. It was WAAAY KEEN. We stayed at a place on the ridge above the town, and used it as a base of operations for stonehenge, eastern Wales, etc. Took a lot of those green double decker buses that you get on and off of, very nice; used one of those to go to Stonehenge, Avebury, white horse, etc.

Consider going to the costume museum, definitely go inside the church to see the old memorials. I know we did lots of things there, but that's what stands out after 7 years without looking at our photos, so it must have been the best parts.

Teddy Bears and Kitimat

Hmm. Saw the Rat Display in London; in Bath, there wasn't anything like a Bear anti-Picnic (Tom Holt has a good take on this). And it's been pointed out by Victoria that she got me to go to Kitimat, and she is on my friend's list. D'oh.
