Thanks, Cami. On topic comes lower down.

I've had this horrible sneaking suspicision, and I have to ask you, Cami, just to ease my mind, whether the answer is bad or good. Is Helen leaving the Barrow-Downs? I've been puzzling for the longest time why she can't run the WtR thread any longer (btw, Helen, I'll be emailing you about that soon), and it could be simply because she's short on time, but I haven't seen her around for awhile, either. So, Child, if you know, or if anyone knows, please tell me.

Here's the on topic part.

Tuesday I finally got to see my pony again, and I rode a Halflinger to the grand total of three miles! Is Acorn a Hobbitish enough name, btw, or should I give her a Hobbit nickname? A few hours later after nearly collapsing in the heat from exhaustion, (I need someone to remind to eat breakfast next time) I walked another two miles through the hospital.

Only seven miles more to get away from Bombadil. My throat is sore from singing so much but I feel that somehow it's better my throat than ears! Maybe I should transition between the two...
