Clouds drifting by

In all the furore over Harry and Meghan, I find this Buzzfeed article fascinating.

It highlights the difference in how the press covers Kate vs. Meghan. Like Kate tenderly cradling her baby bump vs. Meghan "is it pride, vanity, acting or a new age bonding technique?"

I think my favourite is Meghan endangered Charlotte's life by having lily of the valley flowers in her wedding. Kate also had lily of the valley flowers in her wedding but there was no implication she was trying to off one of her bridesmaids.

If someone was continuously posting crap like this about me, I'd be all, "Screw it, I'm out."

10. What was the last film you saw at a theatre/cinema?

Uh, possibly The Return of the King. Yes, the LOTR one. I know! I don't get out much.

I recently read that Peter Jackson (the director) is an arachnophobe so he based Shelob (huge, ultra-terrifying spider) on all the spider attributes he found most terrifying.

Thanks for that, Peter!

The mystery's solved! swordznsorcery worked it out with additional info by thisbluespirit ! *applauds*

The address, believe it or not, is "Court behind Dryden Street". *looks at confused faces* I know!

Thank you to everyone who tried to help me. *hugs* You guys are the best!

8. Would you rather live in a deep-sea station or a space station?

Space station. The deep sea is freaky.

7. In the U.S., each state has a "state flower." If you’re in the U.S., what is your state flower? If you live elsewhere, does your region or country have flower that represents it? (Post a picture?)

I'm in England and our national flower is the Tudor rose.

5 What’s your favorite way to spend a Sunday morning?

Reading.

4. What one thing are you looking forward to in 2020?

The latest Jumanji. I really enjoyed the 2017 version, so I hope the 2019 one is as good.

Arkenrocks by Cimila.

The thing Gandalf neglected to mention when he assured Thorin Oakenshield and Company that Bilbo Baggins of Bag End would be the perfect thief for their mission was this:

A Hobbit wouldn't be able to tell a diamond from a pearl, or from an Arkenstone - no matter how hard they try.

This leads to some confusion, on Bilbos part. And some frustration, again on Bilbos part.

(What sort of a description was 'heart of the mountain', anyway? A useless one, that's what.)


This is absolutely hilarious. I really feel for Bilbo as he keeps on trotting in and out of the mountain trying to find the Arken-thingy ("you'll know it when you see it").

1st January: What is one thing you’d like to accomplish in 2020?

Get my novel finished and published, even if it's only self-published. Though I'd be over the moon if any publisher liked it enough to publish.
