Annnnd their auto response says they aim to reply within 5-10 working days. That seems… slow. I guess they’re getting a lot of complaints?

(I ordered on Friday, should have arrived Saturday, showed up Monday night.)

Parcel has now arrived, after 8PM. Stroppy complaint sent to company to moan about Yodel, crappy couriers and charging for nonexistent next day service. *sigh*

130 day streak on Finch!

I need to see if it’s streaming here, I’d like to rewatch it.

Such a fun film!

I spent half of that time in a hotel in the middle of the Perthshire countryside, and my absolute favourite reading memory is of starting TTT on my birthday, curled up on a couch by the window in my hotel room, looking out at the hills and the river, with absolutely nothing else I should be doing.

But I didn’t want to spoil myself for the movies, so I bought the books and put them on a shelf until ROTK came out. And that year, after I saw it, I read the whole of LOTR, starting on Christmas Eve and finishing on Hogmanay.

I could never get into reading LOTR as a teen (which people who knew me and my fantasy reading habit found very strange). I tried, several times, but never got out of the Shire. Then the movies came out and I fell in love with them, with the world and the characters. And I wanted to read the books.

I’ll definitely be contacting the seller once it arrives to complain.
