IN HONOR OF THIS BEAUTIFUL HOBBIT DAY I SHALT WATCH LOTR AND DELIGHT IN SHORTBREAD COOKIES
I have all the movies (the dvds are definitely from the 2000s) and the animated LOTR by Rankin Bass on DVD.
However I am quite sad since my Hobbit cookbook is not with me because I am horrible and forgot to bring it.

so about a year ago, i moved to australia to be with my lovely wife, @binchickencrafts, which has been amazing. unfortunately, though, i lost my treadle spinning wheels in the process, and have been sulking a bit ever since.
a while back we bought a loom off of gumtree, which was a great investment, and then last month it occurred to us that hey, we could buy a wheel on gumtree! or, as it turns out, facebook marketplace, which is much more active for this kind of thing.
so active that we ended up with, um, three wheels, two spinning chairs, a niddy noddy, a lazy kate, and hand cards. it turns out that there are a ton of people who are downsizing or getting rid of a recently deceased parent's stuff, and they're very happy to sell it to you, very cheaply. (like $70 aud including delivery cheaply, in one case.)
family picture time
left to right, it's a sheridan scandanavian (but a bit of a frankenwheel), a pipy saxony, a tara evelyn (another slightly odd duck), and my electric eel wheel 6. (we also have an eel wheel nano, but she's currently tucked in the closet, and i didn't feel like fighting off three closet-obsessed cats for a mildly amusing photo.)
these are all the same style of wheel, but it's funny to me how wildly they vary in size. it's hard to tell in the pictures, but the pipy is about 2/3 the size of the sheridan, which is slightly smaller than the tara.
some of them were pretty grimy when they showed up, so i've spent the last few weeks ducking outside to disinfect and oil and shine things up. they're not quite done yet—there's some slightly stubborn rust on a few flyer hooks, the pipy has a leg that's a bit loose, etc—but they're all fully operational, which is a massive victory for three wheels that we bought sight unseen.

While taking a nap today I dreamt there was a hazard sign called "never found" which was used to indicate a location where people disappeared never to be seen again

right now on earth there’s a kindly old stray tomcat who just got adopted and he’s receiving enough food to fill his belly for the first time in his entire life and he’s so so so happy and he doesn’t even know that it’s going to be like this forever :)
