What a lovely greeting, Anthriel-Atop-Shadowfax! (Or was it Hasufel? Or was it Arod? I'd best click back a page to see!)

No, I don't know Voronwë, but I've certainly enjoyed the posts of his that I have read. :)

He'll be glad to know that, Ophelia. :)

And even happier to enjoy your posts.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Alatar, I've just watched the You Tube clip. That is quite a voice, tired or not! And a terrific production, by the looks of it. The lady reminds me partly of Gollum and partly of Mrs Thenardier - but I actually mean that as a very high compliment! Initially, though, in the picture alone, she reminded me of Carmen Silvera playing - a character whose name I can't remember - from "L'Ecole Des Femmes" by Moliere (no number pad on laptops to punch in accents with).

Speaking of tired, I saw the LOTR Stage show again last night. I had the impression that the cast were knackered, but it was still wonderful. There were six understudies on, perhaps due to a particularly horrible flu-like lurgy which is sweeping through London at the moment.

I saw the LOTR musical for the first time a few weeks back Ophelia and Alatar is still waiting patiently for my review. So far he hasn't resorted to :poke: . If I delay much longer I fear he will escalate to the ultimate weapon; :salmon:

There's been a little escalation, I'm afraid, Tosh; the ultimate weapon is now

You know, I got to name this horse, and I sure wish I'd had the guts to name him Hasufel or Arod. :) Although I'm not sure that Tolkien visualized either of them as a Paint horse... :D

Ahhh. As do many of us!


I still can't wait for him to meet you. :D

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Tosh, I LOVE your serialisation of LOTR! :bow:

Anthriel, he's acting a bit more like a Brego in that pic (although you look a lot better groomed than the rider of Brego!) ;)

She is pretty keen. Pretty being the operative word of course. ;)
Sorry to all his fans, but scruffy ol' Viggo ain't got nothing on Anthy.

Agreed - that's why Vigs looks so sulky in the Brego scenes.

This baby is "unclear" regarding your references to "Vig" and to "Brego," but she can hurl herself into my stream anytime.

Welcome, Ophelia! :) Nice to meet you (I don't think we've met, unless you post somewhere else under another name.)

I'm the resident Entwife, and like my kin, I can wander off every now and then... (RL, you know. :roll: )

And, apparently, bigmcstrongmuscle is a real person, although that name sounds like a bot... :D So, welcome!

Welcome to RoseMorninStar! I hope you weren't waiting long. :wave:

Make yourself at home!

Welcome, RoseMorninStar! :welcome:

I recognize your name because when I've seen it before, it's always struck me as having a smile in it! :)

Hi Rowanberry! No, I don't think we've met before. But we have now, and that's a Good Thing! :)

Hello, RoseMorninStar! :)

Baby tuckoo, we were just saying "Eglerio" to the good looks of Anthriel, and only doing so at Viggo's expense for a joke. Sorry. :oops:

Ophelia, you have to take baby with at least 2 1/2 tablespoons of salt.
Honestly I have never really seen him angry at anyone around here, and judging from his sardonic post I see nothing any different.
Just let him sit in your lap once and a while and keep giving him bottles. He'll be fine.

You just have to learn how to read tuckoo-eze.
