j/k Silly girl!!! My whole post was joking with YOU!!!

Go on, read it again! You'll see how its just oooozing with sarcasm!
BTW, Happy Easter to everyone!!! Lets hope it stays lovely and sunny today - we don't want any sudden thunderstorms thank you very much!!! I'm a baby-puke-free zone today and I'm determined to have an awesome Easter. Btw, you may have to keep the easter eggs in the fridge! Ours had melted this morning (which frankly isn't the time to be trying to eat them).
OK I'M STARVING! WHERE'S THE FOOD?

I wanted to go the HP one. Last year i went to the leicester square one and was wondering if it'll be a similar set up. but if its the first one i guess anyone will hardly know.
Well it will still be Odeon Leicester square, but this time round the premiere area will be expanded to trafalgar square (longer red carpet as it were). But If my experience with the final Star Wars film premier is anything to by, it should be a very big extravanga day. The day of the final Star Wars (Revenge of the Sith) premier was called SW Celebration Day that took over the whole of Leicester Square area from 9am to midnight. Throughout the day the 4 sourrounding cinemas were showing all the SW films whilst Empire showed all 6 in a marathon run. At the centre of the square, various perfomances, interviews with famous celebrities (my favourite was the awesome Christopher Lee) and music performed by the Royal Philmarnic Orchestra playing all the John Williams score. People were walking around dressed as Storm troopers to manage crowd control etc. Basically it was party day. I expect Harry Potter finale day should do even better than that. It is a significant franchise in many ways from economy to pride of British talent, for this country to celebrate and partay!

Well, I think I will go back to bed now! Been up since 4am for the Easter Vigil, then a hot breakfast in the church hall, a brisk walk round St James' Park, then back to the vicarage for tea/coffee, cakes, scones etc, and then a spot of relaxing on the sunny rooftop!

Have fun with that! No, really, go on admit it, you just always wanted to do that, you didnt have to be asked
Beate, its about the vibe girl, sharing the experience with others, you dont get that sitting down watching it at home

You must really like the royal family! I think you will see much more if you watch the live coverage from a TV or one of the giant screens. I doubt you will see much if you are caught up in the crowds outside the Abbey.
I had another poor night's sleep. I woke up at about 4.30am for the third morning in a row

. I am exhausted today. And I decided to go to my spinning class at the gym at 9am. That has just wiped me out. Methinks I will need an afternoon nap (after a yummy BBQ).
