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

Thinlómien · 03-27-2008, 01:30 PM

Being childishly delighted of small things.

Such as having a bus splash mud water on you, making a snowman, and getting your clothes wet and snow into your boots.

And I feel like re-assigning snow and sunshine, although it's already dark and the snow is probably melting...

Yesterday was the first day I could:

turn off the central heating during the day,

wear my "new" (bought in January - it seems I might be an optimist after all)summer slingbacks for the first time even if just for a party. Ok this meant attacking my hobbity feet with something you might use on horses' teeth and mucking around with fake tan but so what .. I am so bored of my winter clothes.

think of planting stuff out.

I also assign really nice meals (Beef Wellington and Raspberry Roulade ... bliss) and good company.

Seconded.

I assign sunshine and warmth and the fact that I (almost) don't have anything I have to do.

Freedom!

If I could fly, I would.

I assign meeting old friends discovering you still can talk to them rightaway and more fluently than to other "newer" people you know. Also I assign meeting hedgehogs who live among the blocks; and last of all I assign good things you can't get out of your head.

I would assign Roger Waters, but not sure how they'd cope with him in the Shire... or maybe actually how he would cope with them. Although, looking at it, there are lots of other things which would also look strange in there...

Having time to take a nap and read a book... what a luxury.

I shall assign fellow students who calls you on the phone to check if youre allright, when you have missed a few lectures.

Waking up by the gulls' cries.

Little birds jumping on the street.

The mist that rose from the sea last evening and makes the whole world so beautiful and grey.

The scent of early spring.
