patsylabrador Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Everyone is working so have prepped nice tea and cleaned out chickens. Now settling down to Lord of the Rings marathon. Think I've left it too late to do all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 You'll just have to stay up late to watch them all We've put our tent up again, we did on Saturday because it said it was going to be a nice day - well the tent got very wet so we had to put it out again to let it dry! Thankfully it is nice and dry and all packed away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Well I've just spent an hour digging up the garden with my mum (And Lucky and Priscilla ) 'Cilla thought it was a great game, trying to find all the worms. With all that extra protein I shall expect a big egg from her tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Watched 'the fellowship', couldn't find ' two towers' so saw first bit of 'return of the king', then family rolled in from work and I had to be sociable. Bubble bath with wine to recover from such an exacting bank holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Believe it or not I have never read nor seen any of the LOTR. Is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 If you're happy to be geeky then it is the best escapism, Tolkien devised an almost complete history of elves, humans and monsters. He had some interesting friends, and many people see that WW1 experiences play a part. Give it a go, skip through wordy bits, they don't change the plot, then try the films and enjoy Viggo Mortenson.

Valkyrie Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Of course if you want to go even further look up Norse myths and legends - you'll find Tolkein used them as a base for his stories. Then you can go Classical and listen to Wagner's opera Ring of the Nibelung. Marathon that is! Is LOTR any good? YES!!!!! But the films are also excellent. Especially if you fancy going to New Zealand - oh my the scenery . . . sigh . . . one day, one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Morning. Coincidentally, that's my project for this winter, plus all the Scandinavian folklore. I'm going to try Beowulf too and watch the film. Woke up with migraine eyes so did some yoga as an experiment to see if it will keep headache part away. So far so good.

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 G'morning. Woke up thanks to Priscilla being noisy. I let her get away with waking up the whole street because I thought she was laying an egg, but when I got there the nest box was empty. I might watch LOTR at some point then. I'll see if I can find it online. Changed my Avatar. I hate my new one but summer is pretty much over . It's supposed to be a back to school one so I'll only have it for a week anyway.
