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

I kind of side with Agan here. Luminous evening are certainly Shire-worthy: it's just lovely to lay on your bed and read a book in the twilight about 11pm... surely much better than it being dark outside and you having to turn the ugly electric light on.

Hmm... You're right, but I myself read in the storeroom in a heap of soft stuff, surrounded by electric light and music. Unfortunately, no fresh air, so I fall asleep when reading. Then again, I equally fall asleep in the warmth of the sun while reading outside. :/

Walking barefoot, silly RPGs and summer holiday.

The very funny guard on my train from Victoria. When he got on he had absolutely no idea where we were going so we had to wait for the announcement while he found his bit of paper that told him what train he was on, and every time we got to a station after that he made some little comment about it. Definitely made the journey more enjoyable! My favourite part was where he listed all the stations and the fact that the train would divide, and then when the voiceover woman then repeated it all he popped back on to the intercom and said 'told you so!' Whole carriage just cracked up laughing.

I assign succesfully passed exams and tests, especially those when they end up to your (best) expectations; and the index quickly filling itself...

Getting back to work to find your battered but beloved long black cardigan (Monsoon darlings and one of the few garments I have ever liked enough not to wait for the sale for), safely in the cloakroom lobby.

Going to see the Lord of the Rings musical for the third (and, most likely, final time ... though if anyone wants to see it before it closes and fancies a companion ...

) time and enjoying as much if not more than the previous two times.

Also, the luck that got us into the very front standing section at the Springsteen concert and seats only six rows back at the theatre.
