Another knighthood for Weta stable

Five Oscars and four Baftas are recognition for a body of work in the film industry, but a knighthood for Weta Workshop's Richard Taylor is reward beyond the realm of his imagination.

Sir Richard, 45, who has won the movie awards for his work with Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong, has been knighted in this year's Queen's Birthday honours list.

It comes after he was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2004, and was Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2006 and 2007, among other honours.

Details and Richard's reaction at the link. I am very chuffed for him! :D

Health update

Thanks for all your nice comments to yesterday's post! *group hug* I'm staying home today mostly because I still need to get more food into myself. I hardly had any food on Saturday, only little more yesterday - I didn't get hunger feelings and therefore only ate when my stomach started cramping up because it was so empty. And it's not like I have much reserve to draw from, after all - one of the disadvantages of being petite. But I'm feeling much better and more normal by now; for lunch I had a banana and some bread with a little bit of butter and strawberry jam - omg actual TASTE! - and that seems to have gone down well. Now I need to go see what I can dare have for tea. I'm actually feeling a bit peckish, which certainly is a good sign.
