What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

THE Ka · 12-16-2007, 04:07 PM

Going up farther north than north, even though it's amazingly windy out and the sea breeze is freezing you beyond recognition... Then to turn up in an obscure little coffee house (ex-boiler room), with many complete strangers.
Only to end up consuming large quantities of warm coffee, accordion and many more sounds and dancing with those complete strangers as if they are your kif and kin.

In short, having a bloody good time with Jason Webley and complete strangers.

It made the otherwise annoying trip through such weather all the more better.

Getting back home after a very long term and decorating the house ready for Christmas! It's all so sparkly now. Also, rediscovering that houses are supposed to be warm! And of course, having food cooked for you completely free of charge (unless it be setting the table or washing up

).

I assign having a nipper in the house at Christmas - it can only get better when I can start telling him about Father Christmas and how he much prefers a can of Guinness to a glass of sherry, how he won't leave any presents unless you keep your eyes closed tight shut all night and how the reindeer are powered by the magic of good girls and boys, so you need to be good to make sure the reindeers (sic) can get here...

...though I'm not looking forwards to being woken up at dawn and not being able to have a bacon sandwich before we open what Father Christmas has left...

I assign the Great Alaska Pizza Co. because it's wonderful pizza, almost no crust(we hates the crusssst). And sledding down a nice huge hill, steep and long, not tiny hills, sledding down the deck is pretty boring!

Going on the downs all day with the parents at work and no one to boss you around!

Fondu after the Chrismas Eve service with 80 proof Armangac (whew!) and Chardonnay .... and Pinot Noir (14%)
