IT'S HEEEEERRREEEEE

Despite having spent ~280 hours on the series, I've still only seen 2 of the episodes in the box set

(Yes they're VHS tapes)

My new weird food rule:

  • fruit flavoured ice cream or sorbet - in a cup

  • chocolate and other creamy sort of non-fruit flavours - a cone

I normally don't get a cone because I don't love them, but was given one instead of a cup and just made do. The ice cream was part fruit and part marshmallow or something along those lines, and it definitely belonged in a cone.

"And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth!"

She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad.

β€œI pass the test”, she said. β€œI will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel.”

Or

"In place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!"

Idk which I prefer 😭😭

No I don't think I have. The AV is registering my phone but no sound is coming out. I think I have to do something with the tv. Fuck I wish I had paid more attention.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you might have to choose where to play from your phone’s music app

It all good now. I had to press a button on Spotify and like magic it worked.

I have not bought or eaten any biscuits or lollies in 4 weeks. I'm starting to get out of the habit.

Bikkies are a trap. I'm glad you've escaped.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Well done. I'm proud of you!

Was given the day off today (didn't want it, or tomorrow, but we're quiet ATM) so I thought I'd make the best of it by using uneaten strawberries to make jam. It's still cooling but it seems ok. Also waffles

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I commented before and the jamwaffle looks delicious, but I don’t know how you managed to achieve the Donna Hay cookbook food porn photo. Amazing.
