Ah, okay. I thought so because I had only a very vague idea of some floods around GB, given my general ignorance streaming from somewhat limited value of information sources I've had access to lately, and did not know on how large scale it happens and thus if it also was your case.

Aanyway... I assign artificial light, particularly candlelight, to the Shire, and also the idea of common meals with the family.

I would like to assign that most worthy and gigglesome word "Busseau".

Busseau.

I assign impressing my parents so much (aka, proving that I am willing to do whatever pops into their minds at a moment's notice) that they let me move the Internet computer into my room!!!

I assign being young enough again that I could have that problem!

I'm assigning puppies. The end. My puppy is no longer technically a puppy (he's going to be 5 on christmas!) but as long as they are still adorable, puppy should be applicable.

When he *was* a puppy:

A more current one meeting my sister's new puppy (a King Charles Cavalier):

And since she's also an adorable puppy...my sister's puppy who really wanted to get at the piece of cake dropped on the floor:

That first pic is just hilarious and amazing!

It looks like the traditional sweet little happy-puppy every child would love... but look at the expression! Like an oldtimer expressing resignation, but still looking with sympathy to the younger generations facing their own existential anguishes...
