What do you assign to Mordor?

[Ibrîniðilpathânezel]

On a slightly less earth-impacting line, coming home from vacation to a flooded basement. I don't regret missing the terrible thunderstorms (bad ones make me twitchy ever since a near brush with lightning), but the water in the basement was not a nice welcome home gift. Thank God it was only rain water, not sewage, and nothing was seriously damaged.

I assign having a lovely dream that I mysteriously appeared in Britain on a train, in London to be exact, with my grandparents. Then having to wake up from it.

I really miss England and Wales (Scotland we didn't go to).

I second that. I too continue having dreams where I am still in the UK, on a train and everything is wonderful.

I assign packing my things for moving, and my dislike for doing it. Now I shall get off the computer and get to work!

Yes, a train going through that lovely green country, passing rows of beautiful brick houses, going from giant smog-filled city to tiny picturesque village. Ahh. I should assign that to the Shire!

Yes, packing and moving can all be sent to Mordor. Good riddance. No wait, I think that Mordor is too good for it!
Of all of the cruel and unusual punishments parents could lay down on their children, moving has got to be the worst. And all this time you think "What did I do wrong to deserve this torture?"

If you woke up before having to navigate your way around the London Underground, you should count yourself lucky.

So do I. Especially Wales. ++Cymru to the Shire

We were just about to go on the Underground, actually. But if you have a map the Tube isn't that difficult to navigate. Only the first day that you're in London. When we arrived we actually had a couple of people ask us if we needed help navigating. Ah, fun times.

Wales has glorious scenery! We drove through it. Well, Wales has glorious scenery when there isn't a hedge or brick wall obstructing our view.

I miss Wales because we didn't go there when I was in Britain... oh, a long time ago. Going on forty years. England and Scotland we toured, and they were marvelous, especially since I was part of a touring choir and we got to perform in some magnificent places. If only we'd been there a bit longer... *sigh*

Oh! Some of the churches in Britain are marvellous! They are old and lovely. I think that my favourite building is the Palace of Westminster, though. Gorgeous.

You can always stay longer in Britain. I don't think that anybody could stay long enough to see every grand thing there.

I will now assign tornadoes and their attendant thunderstorms. I just came up from the basement, where my husband is still vacuuming up rainwater, to try to get hold of my sister, who lives about two miles away. She lost power while we were talking (yes, I know you should get off the phone when it's storming, but she called first, and didn't know that there was a tornado heading her way). A tree came down in her backyard and hit her building, and she thought it was just strong wind. She's okay, thank God, but she still has no power, and I suspect it'll be a while before she gets it back. Lots of damage all over the place. I hope nobody was hurt -- and thank heavens for old fashioned land line phones that care naught for power failures and damage to cell towers.
