More Fellowship Praise

Friday, December 14th, 2001

Just a quickie - busy organising some new Archie pics for y’all including a smile one! Exciting eh. A couple more classic FOTR reviews:

Evening Times (Scotland) - “Give Lord of the Rings every Oscar for which it is eligible”
Ain’t It Cool News - “One of the ten finest motion pictures it has ever been my […]

Go Fellowship!

Thursday, December 13th, 2001

May I start by proclaiming…

Have had a lovely day with some visitors, cups of tea and nice times in the backyard. Went into town yesterday afternoon for Christmas shopping, it was crazy but entertaining. Archie’s first time in David Jones, how special for him!
Reviews of Fellowship of the Ring have started coming thick and […]

Family Deathmatch

Wednesday, December 12th, 2001

Jan and Archie have gone to mother’s group and Rosie has gone Christmas shopping. So I am all alone, working in my little shack. Have managed to get both Jan and Rosie hooked on Quake 3 so there were quite a few deathmatches last night! One of the shelves on the ‘entertainment unit’ fell off […]

Whew!

Tuesday, December 11th, 2001

Just got back from the ‘dairy’ (aka Marrickville Metro, across the road) with many many Christmas presents - ’tis the season! It was a bit tricky getting Archie’s with him in Jan’s frontpack but we managed it. I think we managed to get a shot of him smiling today! Will have to wait a few […]

How was your weekend?

Monday, December 10th, 2001

Mine was great, thanks for asking. On Saturday we went to Ikea and bought an ‘entertainment unit’ as our tv was just standing on two pews. Of course Ikea was a total nightmare - packed with people and the colour we wanted was not in stock so we picked another colour, then had to go […]

80s Music Springs Forth

Thursday, December 6th, 2001

Gavin and Georgia came over for dinner last night and it turned into an impromptu 80s music night! Hooray. Much fun was had. We are greatly enjoying our backyard now that summer is here, it’s lovely to sit outside of an evening and have dinner.
Archie gave me the biggest smile this morning! He is […]

Harry - The Verdict

Wednesday, December 5th, 2001

Well, yesterday afternoon Rosie, Jan, Archie and I headed off to see Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone… the verdict - very good! I did enjoy it a lot but it was missing something from the books - can’t put my finger on what as it was a very faithful adaptation - maybe just… soul! […]

Harry Potter Day?

Tuesday, December 4th, 2001

Have added a few more Archie pics… must be getting near my website size limit on Geocities! Oh well. Everything is going great, hoping to go and see Harry Potter today if we get a chance. I am calculating that the 3pm session will be the quietest - let’s hope so.
The first review of […]

Monday Morning

Monday, December 3rd, 2001

Monday morning and here I am in my little work shack. My sister Rosie arrived last night and is very excited to be here! She’s staying over the festive season. Must get a Christmas tree as some organised people are starting to send us presents already! Hmmm. Must buy presents too!
Archie is doing great […]
