The main theme from @neilhimself's #GoodOmens, composed by David Arnold, was one of the delights performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra and Huddersfield Choral Society at the #BBCProms this year. The concert was conducted by Anna-Maria Helsing.
Zuckerberg isn't some Gandalf-like person bravely fighting back against the evil forces of Elon Sauron. He's Boromir. He wants the ring so he can use it himself. #LordOfTheRings#Threads
Concerning Hobbits is, without a doubt, one of my favourite pieces to play (and probably one of my oldest tracks if we're counting in learning order). It's so good at bringing to mind the wonderful scenery of the Shire and the care-free, food-filled lives of the hobbits who inhabit it.
Oddly enough, I get a disproportionate number of people coming up to me and telling me that Concerning Hobbits reminds them of the Titanic movie...Anyway, I hope this is a nice, relaxing track for you (complete with a bit of ambiance) before July 4th blows that all away.

After finishing the scarf yesterday, I wrote up a pattern this morning and just finished this matching hat!
So that's a full set of Lord of the Rings inspired knits based on the "For the Journey" pattern in the Fellowship of the Knits pattern book!
I don't do a lot of complicated lace knit patterns because I find I get lost and make mistakes a lot, but I soldiered on with these, and they've all turned out better than I had expected 😊
Today, September 22, Bilbo Baggins of Bag End and his younger cousin Frodo celebrate their shared birthday—Frodo’s 33rd, and Bilbo’s “eleventy-first” (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, 2001)
I'd like to thank @dansup for creating Pixelfed. As an artist, for 10 years now I was basing my career primarily on IG, only to see it erode to zero reachability and zero discoverability. IG is a career destroyer now. So when I put all my efforts on Pixelfed, suddenly, I saw growth again! 100 new followers in just 3 weeks! Which proportionally to IG's 0 new followers, given the fewer number of users here, it's a big deal! It feels good again to use social media as it's supposed to be: chronologically, and tag-based. Finally, we can see, and discover things! Things are growing! Again, thank you @dansup for this service, it's awesome!
Today, March 25, the One Ring is destroyed in the fires of Mt. Doom.
"The fourteenth of the New Year," said Gandalf; "or if you like, the eighth day of April in the Shire-reckoning. But in Gondor the New Year will always now begin upon the twenty-fifth of March when Sauron fell"
