'Woke up this morning with
a terrific urge to lie in bed all day
and read. Fought against it for a minute.
Then looked out the window at the rain.
And gave over. Put myself entirely
in the keep of this rainy morning'

So, THIS IS AN AD, even if UNPAID 🤩
I wrote the script on this one and @indeepgeek.bsky.social did the editing - so you can have an infotaining look at ORTHANC.

Fighting the post Oxonmoot blues, back to work doesn't feel right.
Need to keep myself (better) immersed in Tolkien as I've lost my way of late
Oxonmoot is always a highlight but I miss connecting with people

Oxonmoot is always a wonderful experience. So many very intelligent people talking about different aspects of the works of Tolkien.
I love the range of topics that always are on display and so inspiring.

Confession time.
I have thrown away 1 piece of Middle-earth memorabilia
About 15 years ago I was bought the 3D puzzle of Meduseld which was a pain to construct.
Unfortunately it kept falling apart and between that and not having anywhere to display it, it had to go 😞

If you aren't aware of Dave Brons, he's a British Guitarist who plays Celtic prog inspired by the works of Tolkien.
I've had the CDs back in my car again recently. This is a beautiful track that just builds and builds
