6 days to go

I told you right from the start this Challenge Colin idea was a lot of nonsense and should be dropped before it caused further embarrassment, but here I am on Book 1 Page 143 and in danger of still being at the Philosopher's Stone when I should be ordering from the Phoenix. Egg Foo Yung s'il vous plait.

Big (and I mean BIG) news today. Book 5 is 768 pages long and apparently likely to cause severe back problems for postmen the nation over. Probably a minor blip on the overall postmen lost days from backache count.

Hold on a wee minute. 768 pages! Tolstoy would have been proud. Now the previous installment Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire looks really thick to a lapsed reader like myself but it it is not in the same league as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I have just weighed in our copy of book 4 at 790g (sorry about the flour and butter guys). This is a full 210g short of book 5. Now that is a pretty large bar of Dairy Milk.

I recommend you start making special delivery arrangements now before the rush starts for book 6....
