Walk To Rivendell" aka "The Eowyn Challenge"

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Yay! Hobbit dancing. I always liked country dancing although it wasn't "cool". It would be great to have a Ceili. Maybe someone would suggest it to Mithadan for next year's BDs party? ( [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

Someone asked if Black Rider activity was a daily occurence- it is. Me and my friends tend to compare notes. And when we're together we gang up on them right back!

I was trying out the 5 senses today as I walked, thinking of the best and worst things about walking down city streets.

SIGHT: Litter is a big problem. It's great to see kids running around, my area has the highest birth rate in the country.

HEARING: Traffic noise is horrible, but it's nice to hear people talking in lots of different languages. I live in a truly multicultural place, as "White British" I'm officially an ethnic minority.

SMELL: Diesel fumes from busses. It was really hard to think of anything positive. I used to love the shoe repairer's shop which smelt of leather- gorgeous!- but he retired a few months ago.

TASTE: Car fumes in the back of your throat when you breathe is terrible. What is nice is Thai Sweet Chilli flavour crisps!

TOUCH: Concrete is not nice to walk on. It's nice stroking cats sunbathing in front of their doors- but then that's cheating because it's usually mine!
