Old hobbits

This afternoon Lorraine and I off to see The Hobbit film. Enjoyable stuff, and great escapism to be wandering about in Middle Earth grappling with goblins and wargs. Plot wise, it is baggy and formless, as they are drawing out one short book into four films. If you like all the hobbitty stuff, this is not a problem, but non-Tolkienites may struggle.

After this, I went off to see Anton in the Shakey's Head, for an enjoyable chat. Walked up the hill to what used to be The Tin Drum, where I first met Lorraine, which has now become the Cow. I am not sure if I like having met Lorraine in Cow.
