I need a vacation

I need a vacation
Or at least I’m going to, when this vacation is over. Although I’ve been getting bits of reading-wth-the-feet-up and sleeping-later-than-usual, I’ve also been doing much more house-cleaning-type-activities than usual and yesterday I ran errands all afternoon.
Fortunately, I did get to see “Lord of the Rings” again on Wednesday. That was fun – saw it with a friend who hadn’t seen it before and who hasn’t read any Tolkein besides The Hobbit, poor girl. No worries, however, she appears well on the way to being corrupted.
You know a film is good when it’s three hours long and you STILL can’t bear to go to the bathroom in the middle even after seeing it four times.
Oh, and the water heater is fixed, thank heavens. And just for variety, today’s pic is of Elrond, one of the handful of LotR characters who are second only to Pippin in coolness.
