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

Adoption and happy families.

Doing work you love.

Oil paint.

Naps.

Getting your last piece of coursework for the term in.

Spending an evening watching films with friends.

Planning Christmas activities.

I assign snowstorms that cancel all classes after 2pm on a day you really don't feel like going to class.

Finally, a snow day (err...rather, a half-day).

I assign winter vacation, and the things that follow from it:
-Taking long, hot baths in the middle of the day, while reading a book of one's own choice.
- Resting one's feet on the radiator and watching the spruce outside the window gradually droop under the weight of the snow.
- Banishing all textbooks, notebooks, etc. to a dark corner, out of sight, out of mind.

Somebody thinking enough to offer you a lift on what is really a freezing cold night. Restores your faith.

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

).
