Bleah

At home sick today (really sick, vomiting and stuff, not just 'oh, I feel a little under the weather, better stay at home just in case, and what a coincidence, I can watch the TT EE at the same time' sick). Don't know if it's a tummy bug or something I ate, but it's not nice.

And my TT EE didn't arrive yesterday - praying it will arrive today so that I can watch it to alleviate my misery.

TTT EE - first thoughts

Some random thoughts on first viewing (there's a lot to get my head round here!):

• Aragorn in chainmail makes me happy :-)
  
• Finally starting to get the elf (worrying, worrying... I'm a dyed-in-the-wool PMF, dammit, not a PEF...)
  
• Still love the way PJ has the rain start at the beginning of the Helm's Deep battle - doing it all in the pouring rain just really tops off the whole atmosphere of the piece.

My mum is off to Thailand tomorrow. She only just got back from Morocco. Shortly after Christmas she's off to South Africa.

So, how soon can I retire? Retirement sounds like it knocks the spots off working...
