Really not sure how I feel about the final Hobbit film. I mean, Thorin was a bit of a dick, they killed off most of the spunky characters and I'm sorry, Peter Jackson, but YOU CAN'T GIFT US BILLY CONNOLLY AS A THE AWESOME, BANTERING, WILLIAM WALLACE-STYLE DWARF FOR ONLY FIVE MINUTES, THEN NOT RESOLVE HIS STORYLINE!

Tauriel and Galadriel were awesome though. Can we have a movie that's just about the kick-ass women of Middle Earth please?

OK, this to-do list is just getting SILLY.

I need to strike a few things off it. Pronto.

Careers I am NOT suited for:

1. Teaching seniors how to use technology.

That's about it. I think I have the patience for pretty much anything else other than medical stuff. I'm no better at blood and guts than I am with explaining tech stuff to old people.

Now that I have an uber-comfy, pillow top mattress, I don't mind being banished to my room to work, whilst the Mater entertains her relatives.

Where art thou, cool change? 41C and windy as all giddy up is just plain disgusting... even when you live in a ground-floor (and therefore relatively cool) flat.

Another day, another endless round of relative visits.

I am gaining so much weight with all the food these oldies are plying on me!!

Starting the year off with an early night... is that lame? I don't care.
