More work today. But after the working was over T.E.P. and I went to Waterstones to mooch around for the last few pressies. And after that we went to see ( The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. )

Thoughts on the film expanded somewhat along the lines of the above quote so most of 'em are behind the cut-tag, rather than clogging up friends pages.

But one thing must be said - I want that chainmail skirt.
