Let’s ring out the old year with an *ooof* – neglected as they have become, not least because there are too many new images that merit a look. While my “to be *ooof*ed” folder is brim-full, I have picked the most recent image, and one from a photographer whom I haven’t honoured subjected to an…
How fitting that I can present shrine #52 in the 52nd week of the year, just before 2014 comes to a close. Who would’ve thought that I would make that many little boxes of joy? The first one was only meant as a funny Valentine’s gift. But thanks to your response, your support and your…
Eh, is today Sunday? Was it Saturday yesterday? I must confess that I have completely lost track of time. It did not occur to me that there was a round-up due. Very sorry, m’dears, I hope that it will now entertain your Sunday… Apologies also for the now-overdue Christmas gifs and pics in this week’s…
It is after Christmas, the family is playing with their presents, and I am smoking a cigarette, catching a minute to myself. St Stephen’s Day is usually the day for a long family walk, but with the rain bucketing, we took a slow day instead. And now I am eager to see what you guys…
Is writing the second Christmas message after last year’s and using this year’s premiere picture for it already the establishing of a tradition? Well, in any case, like last year, I just wanted to wish you a happy Christmas (again) before I am swallowed up by the festivities. I have already received my presents –…
Over here in my neck of the woods, it’s the season for some hot Port – (a drink which is) a delicious combination of hot and dangerous. Eh, does that ring a bell? These days, when that alcoholic concoction is mentioned, my fangirl brain usually adds another syllable to the name and I end up…
It’s a week since I watched TH: BOTFA for one last time, and a review is overdue. For the previous instalments of TH I had shied away from reviews – it seemed to me as if I simply wasn’t qualified to review it. I am, after all, a late-comer to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien,…
Not that the season that’s in it isn’t busy enough, we got a lot of news and material delivered this week. More BOTFA promo goodness, informal interviews, some new colourful pictures. On tumblr, Thorin is easily the most shared chaRActer these days – that’s if the tumblrers aren’t swooning over the many noteworthy things Mr…
Thanks for your comments, everyone. I closed the raffle at 11.59pm and by 00.14 we have the winner. Ta-da… Merry Christmas to I will put your RAMBO into the post tomorrow, and hopefully it will make it to you before Christmas. Congratulations. ❤ Draw protocol here: While I am here, I’d like to take the…
Dear friends, readers, fellow well-wishers, the twelve days of Christmas have started, and with it the trickle of Christmas cards. Even packages containing gifts have arrived in Guylty Towers, would you believe, and the festive spirit is blowing hard in my not-so-hallowed halls. As is the custom, I would have loved to send Christmas cards…
