My daughter just told me some good news, I have a cake in the oven, the sun is shining and I just had a brief but lovely exchange with a fellow fan who happens to be visiting Dublin but whom I will unfortunately miss, and yet I have a big smile on my face. Somehow that brief personal exchange made me smile. All the best prerequisites to jump into a round-up.

- Mininottingham has received the items bought in the fundraiser. You *must* have a look at these pictures, they are so fun!!!!
- And when you are done there, you can see the minis playing farm, thanks to ilariaeugealtomasini
- Richardarmitagefanpage has found out that the Panic audio book by LJ Ross will be released 20 October
- In German, we have this phrase “ein schöner Rücken kann auch entzücken” – a beautiful back can also attract. Fits pretty well for this pic set of Thorin from behind, posted by thewarriorandtheking
- … … … um. I am trying to gather my thoughts. *deep breath* Just having read Dessert by middleearthpixie. Whoa. Let’s just say I am hungry… NSFW. But very…

Ahhh, how lovely to have such a long list again. Richard’s birthday did the trick.
And yay, the good mood is lasting. The cake is ready, the sun still shining, and hubster is going out for a couple of hours, which means I can do some crafty stuff. Perfect weekend. Hope yours will be perfect, too.

Happy weekend! I’m in traffic purgatory. 😫 Only 4 more hours—or something.

#5 I’ve been singing pixie’s praises for a while now, but this time she’s gone too far! Not only does she turn the heat up a notch or three, but then clobbers us with a mic drop moment at the end when we’re too spent to realize what hit us. Still LMAO.

A happy weekend, great (I thought your ‘cake in the oven’ meant something else for a minute!). Thanks for the great round-up. I loved Mini Nottingham receiving their goodies and all the birthday wishes.
