Come have a good hair day with me. Please reply with your good or bad or normal hair days, beautiful people.

Improvised standing desk and homeschool lesson sheets for the week
A high wooden buffet with a pull-out cutting board is covered in papers and books. A single pencil lays on the papers and four candles light the scene.

Happy St Martin’s Day! Our lanterns were paper so they’re not so much popped as… crumpled up.

Tea buddy
A toddler in a wool hat and covered in a frog blanket sits on a chair on a wooden deck. He holds an enormous yeti mug in front of his face from which he is sipping tea. Only his eyes looking over the mug at you are visible.

Here are the other covers. Well-known art work by Tolkien but still enchanting. I love the art nouveau inspiration his art has in it.
The Return of the King with the huge, heavy base of a tower dominating the cover A dense forest, greys and browns and blacks, on the cover of The Two Towers The beautiful hill and hobbiton in the foreground of this cover of The Hobbit.

New #tolkien acquisition. They aren’t particularly valuable and they’re certainly in well-loved condition but these were my grandfather’s and my dad read these as a kid. This set is the 1966 edition but printed in 1973. I love the crests on the box and Tolkien’s own art on the covers
A set of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy in a small, ragged paperback edition. The cover wore off the Fellowship and has been printed in pen on top to say The Fellwship of the Ring Part I One side of the red box the books came in with the crests of Fëanor, Idril Celebrindal, and Eärendil The other side of the red box with the crests of Elwe and Finwe and one of the crests of Lúthien Tinuviel The cover of The Hobbit with the hobbit floating down the river on a barrel with tall lanky trees to either side

As the parent of a crying toddler on a plane this weekend, I appreciate this. People were very patient and kind about it.
mens-rights-activia The duality of man is thinking "children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public" and also "damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/" ffcrazy15 Just as courage is not the absence of fear but doing the brave thing in spite of it, patience is not the absence of irritation but doing the kind thing in spite of it.

@virginicus.universeodon.com.ap.brid.gy correctly identified the plant as Betony, which is in the second line. The first two lines pretty clearly read “Ðeos wyrt þeman betonican nemned…” Wyrt is Old English word for plant or herb, which we retain in the word “wort” of “mugwort” or “St John’s Wort”.

I remember when the seats were this spacious for me
The short legs of a two year old sitting cross legged in an economy airplane seat. There’s at least four inches of empty space between his legs and the edge of the seat. He could probably lay down sideways in it and sleep but he won’t because, well, he’s two.

How it started vs. how it’s going
An unbaked loaf of cinnamon raisin bread shaped like a dragon. The same loaf of dragon-shaped cinnamon raisin bread but decidedly chonky as it has been baked and grew tremendously in the oven. Happy Michaelmas, now go out and do Feats of STRENGTH
