A game I play is celebrating Labor Day. All I know about Labor Day is you shouldn't wear white shoes before it.

It's been so long since we've used our dvd player that we can't remember where we put a lead. We are projecting from computer instead to continue our Stargate SG1 rewatch. We don't have the first season on dvd. We have it on video 🤦‍♀️

Crocheting in the sports centre while my mum is at the old person gym. I am entertaining or very confusing to many small children. My mother keeps describing me as Madame Defarge.

Think I'm going to do the sleeves on my first proper cardigan then stitch the rest of the body. The wool is all my favourite colours.

Anyone still bothered by Outlander? Have fallen in the auction of props and costumes. The MiL wants to get the Culloden memorial stones for the front garden.

Yesterday was crocheting at the Oval for the Women T20 finals. It was magnificent. I did not take a crochet picture though. Today I will be crocheting at the Cinema Museum www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-cinema...

I need to get a better picture but I made a poncho. Sizing still needs work but so cosy!

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

An illustration of the Fellowship, reimagined with Chinese-style period outfits.

An illustration of armors of Gondor, Rohan, and Rivendell Elves, reimagined using different periods of Chinese armors as concepts. On the top right are three side profiles of Rohan man, Gondorian, and Elf with different Chinese hairstyles. On the bottom right is Aragorn's banner redrawn with Chinese influence.

A concept art of Bag End reimagined as Chinese court houses, with tall stone gates, round wooden doors, curved roofs, and open courtyard, nestled in a hill.

A concept art of Rivendell in the style of Chinese painting. Next to it are several props drawn in Chinese style such as Fellowship brooch based on gingko leaves, lembas in the shape of mooncake, Elfstone as round jade, Galadriel's phial in a green jade bottle, and shards of Narsil.

I have been officially diagnosed with ADHD. To no one's shock. I am the Pikachu gif. The best thing was the small dog that I got to pet in the psychologist's office.

Had an awful parents night. Wish all parents knew classroom teachers know nothing. Information filters to us glacially. All I see is what's in front of me.
