I went back to the Oxford Tolkien Society (Taruithorn) a couple of years ago to lead a singing evening and this is one we did - still a favourite even with the students of 2024!

When I was young I could never get the tune right. However more recently Jessica from the Tokien Society gave me the sheet music (she had got it from Stephen Oliver the composer) and guitar chords. I can see why I struggled. But now the answer is yes!

As I'm in Milton Keynes I both am and am not located in Buckinghamshire depending on the definiton used. But I see that you've got events scheduled in MK so good job for picking the right one!

And the source, our one great treasure, was the well from which rose bright ceaseless waters, every measure shining with its own clear light. See apoolofsong.wordpress.com/the-well/ for the the rest including the destruction of the well of light, and the consequences. #NationalPoetryDay (2/2)

This red valley, bleak and thorny was once with trees and pastures green. In these channels, dry and tawny, shining waters once were seen: streams like falling stars cascaded to fields where pools of sun-fire glowed; moonlight mists with dews brocaded orchards through which heavens flowed. (1/2)

1. #MedievalSky, grab a lifejacket and a seasickness bag, we’re casting off on a thread about the Norman invasion fleet in 1066! 960 years ago, the Normans landed at Pevensey and established a base at the Roman shore fort which was already succumbing to erosion from the sea on its south side. 1/20

Photograph of Pevensey Castle with an information board in the foreground showing an artists impression of how the view may have looked in 1066 when the sea came almost up to the walls.

It's very unlike his other stuff but it does have something about it as a book. Completely agree we could do without it being put into practice, though.

The Flight of the Heron by D.K.Broster, a 1920s historical novel set during the 1745 Jacobite rebellion featuring two chivalrous enemies fated to keep meeting and to have one of the most intense bromances in all literature.

I have been reading the Anne McCaffrey Pern novels for the first time yeah I don't know why I hadn't read them before and I don't know why I'm inhaling them so fast now BUT importantly I know they're not trying to actually do linguistic worldbuilding but BOY do I have linguistics thoughts anyway

We'd like your help with something. The one hundredth anniversary of Ursula's birth will take place in 2029. This may seem a long time away, but we’re already starting to think about how to celebrate Ursula’s life and art. We’d love to add your ideas to the mix—there's a brief survey here:

It's the only reality TV I've ever watched but I find it absolutely compelling. And horrifying.

It was the Cambridge Tolkien Society's "Reduced Silmarillion Company" I believe. Excellent stuff. @shaungunner.bsky.social and others reprised it at a recent Oxonmoot - still great.

I use Reaper which seems to do everything anyone might want, I use about 0.1% of that for my occasional recordings. It's flexible and you can add instruments, effects etc.. I don't find it intuitive but there are lots of explainers out there and I keep notes of what I have learned to do!

Definitely ambiguous and I think it's possible that all of Odysseus's adventures between Troy and Ithaca are just hallucinations / false memories.

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.

A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.

If you had to face someone called Chinggis Stonewall Jackson in battle, you *really* wouldn't know what kind of tactics to prepare for.
