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

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.

ooh I want to go again - I got sent an offer but prob too late now ... Sat Matinee probably best?

I assign the AA and the Dunkirk spirit - I got marooned in a flood this morning.

Also my employers at both the agency and the assignment who in teh former case phoned and cheered me up when the Dunkirk spirit failed (waiting for the AA man to arrive on a little patch of high ground and hoping I hadn't trashed the engine), the assignment people who offered to send out a rescue party and gave me a lift to reclaim my little car (seems ok so far, touch wood).

If it was the 2 for 1 or the 4 for £99 offer I think they're both still going actually. I think they go right up to the last day. Haha, Saturday matinee most expensive!

In a more on topic manner, I assign finally getting a full lie in!

I assign finishing a paper (in this case a thesis proposal) just in time, when I had every plan of asking my adviser for an extension. I started working on it a couple of weeks ago, but summer-induced laziness and online distractions (yes, Barrow-downs, I'm looking at you) kept me from finishing it as early as I wanted. Still, at least I was somehow able to prove that I can actually resist procrastination! Well, sort of. But in a war such as this every battle won counts.

And maybe now I can start writing something that really matters - like RPG posts.

As for last night, I could assign aunts with great ideas for birthday presents, ex tempore ideas, excellent live music and kind old men who pop out from nowhere and offer to change places with you so that you get from the second to last row to the third row.

As for today, I would like to assign sunshine and spending a Swedish lesson by reading a very good but oh-so-overly-dramatic book.

Finally getting my transcript after days of waiting and worrying and finding out I did really rather well in my exams! Opposite order than I thought of course (did better in the ones I thought I nearly failed) but who cares? I'm happy!

Ooh, also, finally getting round to sorting out my CRB stuff for my placement. That was weighing on me.

I assign swimming in the sea. Because it's just great.

Although, on second thought, the hobbits might not approve. Maybe I'll just keep it to myself, then, or assign in to the Grey Havens or something...
