SUNDAY

I met up with Gyda this afternoon at one of the libraries to work through exchequer reports for her first time through it. We got the 4th quarter to balance straight away and got a good start on merging all four quarters into the doomsday report. I can see she's not going to have any problems with this; actually she'll probably get through it easier than I did as she has a better grasp on some of the things I toiled over.

Leofwyna and I went to see Young Victoria tonight. OMG, to my uneducated but not completely inexperienced eye the costuming was spot on!! I have no complaints about the movie. The environs, acting and pace all contributed to believability and it held my attention in spite of the potential for distraction by the costuming. I want to see it again and I want sequels as Victoria (and the actress) ages.

Back at home we pulled out another jigsaw. When it's this cold and we're generally housebound this is a standard fallback. The cat disapproves as there's no lap available when we do this.

They filmed quite a few scenes at Belvoir castle which is somewhat near to me. When we visited, they had a lot of the gowns on display throughout the castle. They were as beautiful in person as they were in the movie. One which I thought looked better in person was one worn by the mother. It is only seen briefly in the movie... at a dinner party, I think. It was an olive color. STUNNING! This came out in England last year and I based my last ballgown off of one in the movie. :)

I may have to buy the DVD when it comes out.
