Beauty and The Beast

this week we are reviewing Beauty and The Beast on blu-ray. The first thing Phoebe said when she saw the film was "brilliant this is my favourite film!" I was amazed as she hasn't seen this film since her early childhood, I on the other hand couldn't remember if I had seen it at all.
Anyway we finally sat down today to watch the special edition of the film. What a brilliant film! It's been a long time since I've sat down and watched a really good film that not only had a great story, a great ending and made me cry. Belle spurns the affections of the arrogant Gaston, frees her father from imprisonment in return for her own freedom, and then falls in love with the Beast - aka The Prince (the hunk) :)

doing nothing

finally after doing too much my body has told me today to rest. I woke up with horrible pain everywhere - every joint and muscle was screaming at me to stop. My throat had that feeling that it was a bit sore or in the process of developing something slimey to cough up. We shall see what develops.

so in the meantime some piccies to show you our pumpkin art, later some photos of what we made out of the pumpkin flesh - *muwahahahah *
