Last Monday, 5th August (also known as BC Day), James and Michelle's adventure took a Lord of the Rings turn (for a change). The local Future Shop had a free DVD release party with a huge 500 person tent, screening of the film, free food, Xbox stuff and pictures with some real LOTR characters. A nice time was had by all (both of us), the film was great as per usual (yes, it does get better after seeing it 5 times), but the highlight must have been meeting Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom. They were so down to earth and friendly, you could feel the love flowing from them. Never again will i diss a movie star, they have proved to me that you can be on the cover of Teen Party magazine and still have a brain. Anyway, we were lucky enough to get a photo with the guys, this one will be enlarged and put on the wall forever.

In other news, we are both now fruitpicking and loving it.
