When you are just a little overwhelmed and you need the small version of the comfort movie 😅 The Fellowship of the Rings - theatrical version on VCR with a Polish voice-over (so you don't need to focus and think in two languages)

It is time for the yearly Lord of the Rings marathon.
I woke up earlier to watch some movies, than I am normally waking up for work... What is wrong with me 😅

The Happiest Birthday wishes to Frodo and Bilbo 🥳🥳
And the Happiest Hobbit Day to everyone 🥳🎊
Today, I have started my annual re read of Lord of the Rings. I will be doing that with the bigger group under the guide of @breabird.bsky.social
Check her Substack.

And now, time to read...

48 years ago, today it finally happened: the magnum opus of Professor's work was published. 4 years after his death, under watchful eye of Christopher Tolkien, The Silmarillion saw the daylight.
The detailed legendarium and histories of Arda from before the One Ring was forged.

Today I found one of the best pieces of art depicting Smaug and Bard. I was always fascinated by the Japanese art - it was always something different, more spiritual than its Western counterpart.

End me now, please...

52 years ago, Tolkien boarded the last of the ships going West.
His works changed the world of literature and were and still are an inspiration for countless new ideas.
We, who found a safe haven in Middle Earth, salute you.
Farewell.
Namarië.

Autumn was always the Tolkien season for me. September especially, as it is a month when the Silmarillion was first published (1977) and the Hobbit was first published (1937).
It is also a month when we remember Professor's death - 2nd of September.

Happy Birthday to one and only Billy Boyd 🎉🎊
You are still my favourite Hobbit - and no one will convince me that Sam and Frodo did better job (without you we would never have Gandalf the White) 😅

Rings of Power rewatch part 2
Season 2, Episode 2.
There will not be a lot of writing here as there are no words is a tongue of Men, Elves or Ents to describe how I felt in this moment.

Today is World Calligraphy Day, and hopefully you know that #Tolkien was an accomplished calligrapher. He used different styles of handwriting and alphabets to create depth in his stories. Not just an author, poet and scholar, but an artist, too!

I went to a secondhand bookshop, as One does sometimes, for a book about Terry Pratchett. I did buy the book I wanted, but I also bought couple of books I did not anticipate. I think I got quite a bargain.
Of course these are Polish versions - now I need to get them in original.

Just added new Tolkien books to my Amazon Wishlist. I am fully aware that I will never have them, cause it would take a lottery win to buy them all. Why am I doing it to myself? 🥲

So, we got back (couple of hours ago). Nothing bad, just blocked tear duct. Got some jabs for inflammation, and they took a swab of her eyelids to check for any bad thingies.
Green/orange eyes are a result of eye drops that turn neon green under UV light and oxygen.
Next visit - Thursday

Plans for retirement?
I will not live to see my retirement...
I will be worked to death, because my country is stupid. What is the stupid idea to go on retirement when you do not have enough strenght to live on it and do anything with it?

It was this day, 71 years ago on Thursday, 29th of July 1954 that the Fellowship of the Ring was first published.

First time I read this book I was 10 years old, I think. From that moment it stayed with me permanently.

Do you use emojis in your posts, comments or texts? What are the most used ones?
I heard it is a millenials thing only and now no one is using them anymore. But how can I show the emotions if I am unable to send a little yellow face (and with a freaking character limit).
What are your thoughts? 🤔
