Ever so briefly ...

I am overworked to buggery and have a vile cold to go with it (damn you huggy snotty toddlers!), so am behind in every aspect of my life save comfort knitting (the healthier, more productive version of comfort eating), but I would like to say that there is one good thing about the otherwise awful Epilogue photos that are emerging from the Deathly Hallows set (here via the gorgeous Anna).

For all of us on the upper side of 37, they make us look fucking brilliant. I'm 43 and I look at least 10 years younger than that lot, even with a headful of snot. Really, like their appallingly ancient twentysomething James and Lily snr choices, I think it's the film designers' way of making the older set engage with the films. And walk away thinking 'You know, even without Botox, I'm not doing that badly!' Must dash, my comparatively ageless face needs to be at work ;-)

Draco should be looking as luscious as Lucius (they'd be about the same age) - just saying.

PS: Brammers, I'd like to thank the Sydney gods for nearly drowing me STANDING UP yesterday, so I'll blame them for my clogged head. It was not fun playing tourist at Darling Harbour ...

Ooh dear, Sorry! Get well! It was a DREADFUL day to be out and about! The PowerHouse or Australian Museum or AGNSW are your best bets on a hideous Sydney day. Alas, the rain is on its way back for this weekend. Do you have good things planned? Let me know if you need any tips: I have a long list of cheap and nice things to do in this city!

And YES! Lucius is canonically a little older than they are meant to be at the train station, and he is LOVELY. Though, as others have noted, they were cruel to Snape, too. Stinkers.

Flew back to Melbourne this arvo having blitzed most of the other attractions already (the flight really didn't help the sinuses). However, did see the Biennale display at Cockatoo Island this morning and it's brilliant - you must go! Plus it's free, including the ferry there ;)

Will do! And buzz me if you're around again and want a gallery pal (who is perhaps better at providing comedic commentary than accurate interpretive material these days ;-))

You could have sniggered with me at this long-haired middle-aged plonker at AGNSW, who was loudly telling his two companions about which pieces he always make a point of viewing whenever he visits the Metropolitan in NY. I swear he had leather patches on his jacket.

Err - the patches were on the elbows. You get the picture ...
