What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I know what you mean Legate , good teachers are what you call a diamond in the rough.

I assign all good friends to the Shire. The people who surprise you with little things that mean so much to you, and they just want to make you lose all self control and hug them forever and just say "I love you" over and over again without stopping. God bless them!

I'd like to assign Bekah (friend) to the Shire. As she has been working really hard at Uni this semester and deserves a well earnt break. Just imagining sitting down under the trees, blue skies, what a holiday.

Think I'd like to go with her.

I assign sunlight that shines through the leaves and turns everything golden and green, and the scent of blooming trees.

But most of all I want to assign luminous nights. It's lovely not to have to turn on the light if I go to get something to eat, even if it was 1 am - and it's only May.

Hah! I could send that to Mordor. How about waking up at 5AM and not being able to fall asleep again because the curtains don't manage to keep the nasty bad light out of the house. (I did change rooms after that.) Then again, I could be called an optimist in some way, because I have equally a lot to complain about each season.

I also assign waking up more refreshed than usually because of the nice light. And apparently I should be glad for my ability to sleep despite the curtains being drawn.

I kind of side with Agan here. Luminous evening are certainly Shire-worthy: it's just lovely to lay on your bed and read a book in the twilight about 11pm... surely much better than it being dark outside and you having to turn the ugly electric light on.

Hmm... You're right, but I myself read in the storeroom in a heap of soft stuff, surrounded by electric light and music. Unfortunately, no fresh air, so I fall asleep when reading. Then again, I equally fall asleep in the warmth of the sun while reading outside. :/
