on the body of her brother, information vital for Galadriel to ask questions when confronted with their lost king. Why would he give up such a vital hint, and yet he did? Did he safe her life to gain her trust and get entrance to the elves, or does he really love her and want her for his queen?

I was never a fan of LotR because of the black and white characters. But then RoP came along with amazing complexity. Sauron never lied to Galadriel, and in doing so, he seems to be the only one who truly values her vigor. She, in turn, used him to meet her ends. He left her a hint to the Southlands

I have just bought a concert ticket, and attending this gig will require crossing pretty much all of Germany from South to North. Now I have a year to work out how to do this. I suspect if you intend to travel so far with the national train service you may vanish in a wormhole for good.

OK, so now I really need to check it out.

PLEASE DO NOT ASK STAFF WHERE DRACULA’S GRAVE IS THERE ISN’T ONE.
Iconic sign from St Mary’s Church next to Whitby Abbey. I love that people think Bram Stoker’s Dracula was a real person/vampire who lived and died in Whitby.

I am deeply impressed by #ANONYMOUS. Framed by a prologue / epilogue, presenting the plot as a play within a play / film ->"The Mousetrap", plus puns on elements from HAMLET make this very enjoyable. And I hope we can all agree that the plot twists are not that far from #Shakespeare 's own.

Today is a good day for the one non-veggie product I do eat, although seldom: gummy bear froggies.

I am still not sure what to make of this. I admire the approach of a serious topic, but they follow a trend I observe in many social media posts, which is aimed at mental wellbeing. They also did a series of related postings and videos. Any thoughts on this?

I thought it would be something weird with cinnamon and nutmeg. But you are right of course, since the Grinch hates Christmas.

The chess page I occasionally use offers Halloween themed bots now. I only tested one so far, but it was pretty funny, making a reference to a Stephen King novel, which really made my day. I love when things have a bit extra, and add references to literature just for the fun of it.

Ich weiß, wie es gemeint ist, aber ich tue mich etwas schwer damit, dass alle Gehirne neurodivers sind, da es gerade die Reizüberflutung runterspielt. Ich hatte bei meinem letzten Konzert ein Kind neben mir, von dem ich glaube, dass er Autist ist. Ich habe wohl ein anderes Konzert erlebt als er.
