Hallelujah!!!

"Return of the King" is out on DVD/video! I saw the DVD advertised for R199 last night and just emailed my neighbour, who sent back a "S**t, I just bought it yesterday for R249!" Shame, poor guy... :)

I'm trying to decide whether to get it on DVD or video. We will only get a DVD player near the end of the year, but DVDs last longer than videos and have more stuff on them. And for a hundred bucks more than the video, they're not too bad... (in our currency at least...). However, a video we can watch and re-watch right away and pass on to the rellies (relatives) who also don't own DVD players!

Whatever I decide, it's going to have to wait a while. My son's birthday party is next weekend, which will take a large chunk of our monthly cash supply as usual, in addition to the prerequisite presents and stuff. We're once again inviting the entire population of boys in his class, around 20 of the beasts, and this year it's a "Dragons and Knights" party. I have great fun hosting them. We've done Australian Swaggie, Spooky Ghosts, Egyptian Treasure, Volcano & Dino's and a good few others. Tiring, but worth it when his friends can't stop discussing it for weeks and his social ratings shoot sky-high... :)

This weekend will be spent in planning our event, in between a belated baby-shower, monthly grocery shop, trip to Cape Town, last of the school church visits, and a spot of sleeping in. I'm gonna need a weekend after this!
