Slightly after summer — it won't be till September — but I'm planning a week off for a Jane Austen-themed holiday! Specifically focussed on Persuasion, my favourite of her books, visiting its two key settings — Bath and Lyme Regis — and then driving back up through Hampshire for a visit to Jane Austen's House Museum. I've been to all these places before, but not in the one trip, so I'm looking forward to that.

No, big bold patterns dominate my whole look (I'm very small), but they look great on bigger people.
When did you last multi-task (more than two things)?
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

Right now, if posting on NarniaWeb and listening to Wretched radio is multi-tasking.

I once tried fried frog legs. From what I remember, the texture was rather like a mixture between roasted chicken and pork, but the flavor was slightly different.
Have you ever tried an “extreme sport” (skydiving, spelunking, cliff jumping, bungee jumping, hang-gliding, etc.)?
"I am,” said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”
