    Some of the reviews on The Hobbit have been less than glowing and it seems you can watch it in different formats.

  • Hello fellow forkers, im still around. one of my friends died suddenly so not been feeling my most sociable, her funeral is tomorrow and really not looking forward to it, but as my daughter says do you ever look forward to a funeral!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to see you alla re as nutty as ever. I would love to be able to feed the birds but i do have 3 cats and it just wouldnt be fair.Got our christmas tree yesterday and one of the cats is already dragging bits off it. I want to go and see the Hobbit as i loved the book but according to my mother 20 animals died whilst filming.A horse got fed the wrong food and ended up with colic. You would think they could afford to have a vet on site

    Oh Maud, 'bighugs'. Just remember all the happy times you & your friend had together over the yrs.

    My parents once had 3 kittens, which they kept from a visiting ferile cat. One yr the tree was attacked by them- after that Dad said not again! He said seeing it swaying & baubles crashing everywhere was quite funny, but not at the time. They turned out to be lovely cats & the offspring of one of them still visited Dad at the house until he went into a home. BTW he gave in over the tree when my daughter arrived!

    My cat, from childhood, always loved smacking certain decorations. I still have some of them- glass ones- & can still see him in the firelight eying them up. J.

    Yes it is tree day tomorrow. Know rush though Jo there are 24hours in a day image

    Blind men have been and hopefully dog and us will now have an undisturbed night - and yes I do know what i have written it's like asking how do you make a Roman blindimage

    Lovely tree Rain.

    Now have my mothers old tree up in the dining room, have not found her decorations but have a few of ours. It was bitter sweet as it is the tree she fell n which started all her problemsimage

    we promiced our son we would not baby anything big, I have just wrapped a box full of little things, it would have been easier to buy one big pressie, but we do as we are told - well mostlyimage

    So sorry about your friend Maud, it is hard no matter what time of the year it happens.

    Hello Maud. So sorry to hear it is a sad time for you.

    I've been really chuffed (choughed??) to have a nuthatch visiting my seed feeder the last few days though he's incredibly wasteful - I think he only wants one sort of seed and throws all the others out. Another uncommon visitor to my garden turned up today - Lady Blackcap, I hope her mate is not too far away.It's amazing how things chnge over the years; once a goldfinch was a rare sight here and a greenfinch common, now it's the other way round.

    I spotted the bullfinches earlier- grr!

    Ok I really got this order wrong- now 2 huge bags of rigatoni pasta, I really should check things more carefully. Mind you pretty late last evening I realised hadnt ordered any milk....... Wonder what other surprises shall find?

    Daughter not back until the early hours again. I sort of hear her come in & just settle down again, doesnt really disturb me. Unlike the boiler this morning! image So should get chance to do a pic of tree, but does depend on our joint pc skills....image

    Right, back to unpacking & putting away. Tomorrow is making mincepies- I hope that the jar of homemade mincemeat, circa 08 (!!) is ok, otherwise shall be trotting up to shops.... image J.
