Thankfully, nothing to do with The Man of the West in this title: just acknowledgement that Voronwë has put his old friend in a hard spot as we continue our readings in Of Tuor and His Coming to Gondolin. youtu.be/K6pf_6EskCo

An almost perfect linear duck parade as @smallholdingh.bsky.social puts Eggstra, Tilly, Pinot, Pom Pom, Ducky, Midget, Kay and Ditto to bed at the #smallholdingdream

#AlfietheBeagle has discovered that there are snacks in the ponies' feed tubs .... 🥕🤦‍♂️

@drlindadykes.bsky.social has finally accepted the inevitable.

Just as I did when we met Alfie in Beagle four weeks ago this afternoon. 🤣

A photo from this morning's dog walk; one of several 'fairy rings' at present across the #smallholdingdream. 🍄🧚

Still as amazing to watch and listen to as when I first saw it.

E1. Welcome to The Sillymarillion!

Am enjoying the @thesillymarillion.bsky.social on the way home from #Oxonmoot having discovered it there via @itstoriello.bsky.social, and I really hope we find out what happened to Stef's chameleon .... 🦎😁

Have arrived in Oxford, and loved the warm welcome from the porters at @stannescollege.bsky.social where #Oxonmoot is happening till Sunday.

Very impressed with the accommodation, and have unpacked my @prancingponypod.bsky.social essentials. Now to register, and then a tour of Oxford.

On my way to #Oxonmoot for the first time. #tolkien 📚🎥🎙

Dan Snow’s History Hit - Churchill vs Attlee: The Election that Changed Britain - BBC Sounds Why was Churchill so decisively defeated in the 1945 general election?

A very revealing podcast about an era of British politics which I've now realised I knew little about but which had such a big impact on 'modern society'.

Also available on other podcast platforms if you're outside the UK.

A full moon tonight at the #smallholdingdream

So true! 😁
#Shetlands

Very much recommend this for anyone who is a #Tolkien fan or even just has a passing interest in the #LordoftheRings films.

I have temporarily dropped to 24th in the pecking order at the #smallholdingdream while @drlindadykes.bsky.social and I look after a friend's three ducklings for the weekend.

The resident poultry all had a good look but the visitors will no doubt be the top interest for a few days.

"I feel the need, the need for ... zoomies!"

Hobnob feeling like he's in Top Gun and wanting to buzz the tower, sorry, me and Lily.

Loved today's TTT with more readings about Rohan!

I especially loved the bit when Alan mentioned Aragorn and Legolas being in the 'van', painted green, the white horse airbrushed on the side and Immigrant blasting out of the speakers! Great memories of PPP episode 207 (Rock of Ages). 😆

I would not be surprised to find ducks roaming around inside our house if it weren't for the dogs ... 😁
