JK Rawks!

Yes, we were there in a queue at midnight on Friday awaiting the last Harry Potter instalment from the pen of J.K. Rowling. We've been there from the beginning. A friend, back in 1997 sent me a copy of "Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone", and inside was a compliment slip saying simply "Try this for therapy". So it was somewhat emotional on Friday night awaiting my copy of "The Deathly Hallows". The girl in front of us, same age, was red-eyed and had told her boyfriend to leave her alone all weekend. She said she didn't know whether to read it or leave it. I suspect like me, she stayed up all night on Friday and began to devour. Similarly on Saturday and then it was last night that I finished the gripping tale. Relieved that I knew, annoyed that I'd reached my destination so very quickly. So many layers, so many messages, Ms Rowling is definitely a light worker and she certainly answered the call when it came all those years ago on that train to Manchester. You've probably read more than enough on Harry Potter this weekend in the press, or are engaged with the reading of the all important pages, so I will leave it there.
Visited an old haunt near Lochwinnoch last week - Muirshiel Country Park. Climbed to Windy Hill amidst the mist and the rain, and felt as we descended and looked back that we had just been to Brigadoon. Met an honorary druid in the form of Bob and learned all about Harrier Hens.
Went to meet our friend Allan, composer extraordinaire, at the weekend, who was ready to unleash the music he'd been working on to accompany the vocal on our cd. It was perfect, like he'd channelled it. Truly, working with professionals like Allan and Ewan, makes tasks so much more enjoyable. Our friend Dr Roy told us earlier this year, that it's often the things that take the least effort that prove to be the most significant. And how true that has been with our cd. Though I'm not sure Allan would agree, by his own admission, he's not good with deadlines.
Visited Balmaha last week too and went for a pensive walk around the loch.
We're off for more workshops on Arran next week, then it's into August and the big one with Body & Soul at the Royal Concert Hall. I wonder what Diana Cooper (special guest) will think of our unicorn cd?
And so, time to go and arrange my Harry Potter books in order. I seem to be missing the Goblet of Fire, so if I've lent it to anyone, and that person happens to be reading this, please return.
I'm assuming our patronus would be a unicorn, but luckily we've never had to cast it....yet!
