lord of the rings: the return of the king is a truly great film. we saw it last week and i loved it. can’t wait to get the extended editions of both the 2nd and 3rd films to complete our extended collection. determined to read the books now, although our lord of the rings books have mysteriously vanished. must start with the hobbit though.

christmas is nearly here (hoorah). we got our snowman and santa candles out last night. ironically santa is the one who now has no face, the snowman isn’t melting as quick. we’ll be going down to brum for christmas day, staying at mum and dad’s for the family christmas dinner and then going over to auntie cathy’s and uncle laurence’s to see the rest of the family. apparently chris (my big big brother) has got a murder mystery for us to solve. we are supposed to be getting our characters sent to us in the post so we can rehearse. should be really fun.

me and carl will be going on the traditional family boxing day walk again (yey). i have managed not to miss one yet, i think. we go around cofton lakes, past the haunted disused railway line, past the house with the round tower where anne boleyn was executed and now haunts (so says grandad), walk by the /huge/ houses that everyone wants to live in and to the barnt green inn for a recuperating drink.

we’ll be going over to wrexham after the walk to see carl’s family, so the whole christmas weekend will be busy with cool things. and then we will come home and it will be the weekend again. hopefully the welsh mountains will be covered with snow again. they were magical and heidi-like last year.

for new year it looks like we are going to a friend’s house. not sure whether i will be able to drink or not yet though, since i may have to drive us home again. we’ll have to see. sometimes it’s pooey living so far out of nottingham. actually, most days it is. i think after the wedding we will be seriously looking to move back to long eaton or somewhere else nice that is far enough out of nottingham so we can pretend we don’t live near it, but not so far that we can’t get to work easily.

happy christmas.
