Three things make a post

I am very weary, and desperately trying to stay upright and awake. (Well, both for preference, but at a pinch just one of them would do).

The Secret Santa I organised at work happened this morning. I received a bottle of red Bordeaux, a Snoopy tie, and a firefighter's kit.

We are going to see The Hobbit tomorrow. I cannot help thinking that a trip to a cinema right next to a major shopping centre, on a Saturday in December, will turn out to be a mistake.

What are you doing this weekend? Have you got anything fun planned? Do tell!

Sitting for three hours in a darkened room watching a film widely criticised for being slow (fifty minutes on the scene where the dwarves arrive at Bag End!) might not help you stay awake...

Hmm, I have read that several times but I like that bit of the book and it's richly described. Can't help feeling that 2 films, not 3, for what I'll call Hobbit+, might have been better, or 3 shorter films, thinking of the age range of the target audience.

It is certainly slow, but the dwarves at Bag End only occupy about 25 of the first 50 minutes.
