I'm going to hang my shingle out properly by 'fessing that I've been reading Tolkien, and about Tolkien, for over half a century, and I'm currently obsessed with Rings of Power

I hear that if you aren't finding time to read the books on your desk and nightstand that you already desperately want to read ... it will make you feel better if you simply buy other ones.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.

It's a weird odd little world
I woke this morning from a complex dream, at the heart of which was that my enemy could change the past by reading out a different version from a book, and no-one but me remembered how it was
Just now I discovered a new author whose Feb debut may use a similar idea

You don't need to write every day: you just need to keep your imagination alight. Feed it with books, with art, with films and theatre. That way it will always be ready when you need it.

Drove down to my daughter's flat (currently empty) to check all was well, and paused at the peak to pacify my soul - I mean, stopped at the roadside to capture our current snowy landscape. Beautiful, but the wind cuts like a knife

I've lost count of the number of times I've had to open the front door and then the back door so Jareth can stare at the snow and twitch his tail before deciding not to go out 🤷🏻♀️

I've looked forward so much to recreating this scene in lego Rivendell
It's such a shame that once it's emplaced and the display box goes on, this tableau will be hidden at the back of the model
A quiet, out-of-the-way place, rarely visited. In keeping, I guess. And I'll know it's there

It's the national year of reading in the uk in 2026. Instead of asking "why don't kids read any more", ask "how can I help them find the stories (and non fic) they will fall in love with". Less "get off my lawn whippersnappers" and more "come, sit on the lawn, here's a comic".

D1) again, this is difficult to pull off at longer lengths. But you don't get good at a thing by not doing it.
E) YOU DON'T GET GOOD AT A THING BY NOT DOING IT done is better than perfect. Don't worry so much about "practicing right" just practice. You can adjust as you need as you go on.

Yesterday in the Ice Age I was the girl who went to bed in my hat
Today, the outside temp came up, the ice melted, and my big heater is pumping out so much heat I've exceeded my daily power allowance by 60%
What is going on? I think my first footer might need to be am electrician 🤷🏻♀️❄️🔥

I want to open up a new bag of bricks for lego Rivendell. I'm so close to completing it
But...
I really have had quite a lot of cider. Quite a lot. I might be making a foolish decision
What say you, Bluesky? Should I be sensible this last night of 2025, or throw caution to the winds?
