#VelikiTolk Tolkien's House

#FlatRichie in Zagreb Hello, dear #FlatRichie members/chainers! :* Finally I was able to put something on the paper, so let's not waste any more time (don't want Guylty to kill me XD). This is bigger report than the one in the log, obviously. And if there are typos, they are all mine due to fast typing. So I got a notice on Thursday that a package was waiting for me to pick it up at the post the next day. Great! Richie is here! But other than feeling excited, I got angry, too, because one of the policies of the post office is to not deliver packages to your door, in 98% of the time, if they are bigger than your mail box. It doesn't matter if you are at home or not. They just slip you a notice that they have been but were unable to make a delivery. Of course, they couldn't because the package is not with them in that moment. Ok, I could wait one more day. Plus, was debating with myself (XD) should I send Guylty pm to tell her #FR had arrived, and decided against. That was good decision for #FR was delivered at 08.15 am next day, which woke me up. Fortunately, my Dad was up already, because my nieces were coming in less than 20 mins. That meant we needed to put the package away from their sight XD. Still, it was WELCOME #FR! I have been waiting for you since Spring! I wasn't able to open the precioussss cargo untill Sunday afternoon around 3.30 pm (I already told G that it would be longer in my possession than it was written in the rule book). Boy, was I excited, it was like Olympic Opening Ceremony XD My parents were also there, my mother even started opening some before me! I told her she was a noisy lady, hihi, which she confirmed (They have now to put up with my another passion/obsession/love, whatever you wanna call it, apart from Viggo. But after a while, I was left alone). The first thing I saw was a bunch of empty papers, and then extra present from Paula. Thank you, dear – they are delicious! :* It took me an hour to open the lovely items and wrapped back those who were going onto the next adventure. Immediately I put aside 2 items that caught my eye, and spent next half an hour pondering what to take as a third one – I had two items that I like, and could not decide at that moment. Though I did finally. (But after 3 days I have change my mind about it and took tapes, since I do a lot of cards and I did not have something of that colour). Poor Guy and Thorin had to wait until Thursday to get out of the flat (get it? XD). It was 25 C, partly cloudy. Perfect for going down to city centre. Now you probably wonder why it took me so long to get them into the open. Well, apart from my nieces (being here every day since the beginning of August and oversleeping most of the times), the weather was awful – from Friday till Monday night we had daily temperatures of cca 35-6C (at night between 26-28) Bloody heatwave, 3rd or 4th this summer. I hate summer! Plus the box in which #FR arrived wasn't in a good shape and we (ok, my Dad) was looking to get a better one, which we did manage to find. But back to Thursday! As you can see int he pics, Guy and Thorin had a really nice time. They visited Zrinjevac Park (photo session XD), ban Josip Jelačić Square (main one), Cathedral (it was a church holiday that day, and lots of people were there, so our boys refused to have picture there, plus it was already hot and them being in fur and leather... I think they regretted the choice of their clothes XD). Then we had a drink stop at Veliki Tolk (The Big Tolk). From the pictures you can see they enjoyed tasty Grimbergen. It doesn't matter if it was only noon *cough* Then we had them photographed in front of the pub and another one at Tolkien's house, 20 m further, too. (Thank you, Dad, for holding the boys *kiss*). These two pubs are my favourite, obviously, and we only go there. If someone will visit Zagreb, please, don't forget to drop by in both. They have excellent beer offers, cocktails, and they serve hot chocolate, sodas and tea also. Inside is all Tolkien related *wink*.After the rest, we went back to Jelačić Square where we had pizza. So not did the boys get drink, they were offered a food! And we went home. Later in the afternoon, Guy and Thorin were take out for a walk int he neighbourhood. They enjoyed the green, they saw a bit of River Sava and they allowed me to take the last photo in our park, while the sun was setting down. It was a great day, and unfortunately the only one we had this fun before they were put in the new box. Oh, what a liar I am *facepalm* My memory is slipping… Because on Saturday, Guy saw Tauriel and had to try his charm on her. Thorin wasn't pleased, nor did Legolas nor Kili. Bilbo was grinning at the back, with Gandalf joining in. Arwen, Aragorn and all other boys weren't interested int he slightest XD. Balin and Dwalin came later, with Azog and Radagast, and another Gandalf was there, too. in protected box. Why? I don’t know. Anyway, Tauriel made quite an impression on Guy, but he had to go on another adventure. Impossible romance, but that's life. Thorin was having fun with Bilbo later. *wink* And soon came Monday, and I had to say goodbye to#FR. I wish I could have gotten you in better time, nonetheless i was proud to be part of this awesome thing. And then off they all went towards the West. P.S. As you can see, I have chosen Thorin's key, RH audio and tapes. P. P. S. Korinka , you are amazing. Thank you (I had them under 10, but now I can enjoy them all. Sending you a big kiss <3 :* )
