Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...
• Fifth Thread: The Hobbit Hole V - Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...
• Sixth Thread: The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
• Seventh Thread: The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Sun shining here too... Gonna find some work outside I think, and I have to be ready to work next week. Have a temp job at the state...

[JenB]

Do you? This is different from the interview thing last week? What will you be doing (or is it classified?)

[HairOfTheDog]

Not entirely sure what I will be doing, but they actually told me there was enough down time that I should bring a book or a magazine. :~D

[ecurbh]

Very true. I certainly wouldn't use a non-compliant camel.

OK, I'm getting ready to head to town for some errands. What do you need at the grocery store? Think I'll make a pot roast for dinner. Sound good?

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh - and it is different than the interview last week.... That hiring is delayed at least a month and this is temp busy work.

[HairOfTheDog]

I am out of deoderant, but maybe you already know that ;~D

[ecurbh]

Ah, I thought it was Gidget!

[JenB]

Uh-oh, ominous post number.

[ecurbh]

Hello... Hello... Hello... Hello...

[JenB]

Um, you guys are the ones who disappeared. I thought maybe the '666' had taken Hair, and you with her.

[ecurbh]

Well, I had to go to town and buy groceries. Dunno what she was doing while I was gone.

[JenB]

That's never a good thing.

Adds 'gets groceries' to the list of housework that ecurbh does. When I get engaged, will you please teach my fiance a few things? Good things? Like laundry and dishes?

[HairOfTheDog]

While you were gone I was spreadin' horse poo!

[HairOfTheDog]

I thought maybe the '666' had taken Hair, and you with her.

Is that why I heard a hiss when I posted? - I thought I had rolled my chair onto the cat's tail again.

[JenB]

This hiss, if it was played backwards, would it have a satanic message?

[300winmag]

I got this email today from a person whose name I cannot yet disclose, from a location I cannot yet disclose. If he says it's okay, we can put him on our list, and I can mention a bit more about him.

Any friend of Bill ..... has got to be alright. Hello Rick, I must say that I was suprised with your give and also quite pleased at the same time. It is good to be remembered and thought of. I will treasure the gifts and put both of them to good use. I have not visited your web site yet but plan on doing so today but yours is a great uplift to thoses of us here. Thanks again. Jerry

[HairOfTheDog]

So this is a recipient of one of the knives? - Neat!

[HairOfTheDog]

I think if it was a Satanic hiss.... then played backwards it would sound like Barry Manilow.

[ecurbh]

Dishes, maybe. But I don't do laundry... that's wimmin's work! ;~D

[ecurbh]

And speaking of dishes, I gotta go do some, and start the pot roast cooking.
