			I'm sure Elin will cope as long as she has had a cup of tea...

			Galadriel55 Tolly is in a mellow mood - why don't you have Al come up to the bar and join him in a mug of ale. Does Al by any chance have any musical abilities - play an instrument, sing,....?

			Thanks, Tolly! I mean, Envinyatar! Being a young hobbit, Al can probably sing, but I don't think he can actually play. But he can boast that he can, and then try to... iagine how that would go! I'm going to post by tomorrow, and probably not join anybody yet.

			Well Galadriel, having looked at Al's bio, the suggestion reminded me of my trip to Dublin when having time to kill before the function I was attending, I went around some of the sights with an American student who was staying at the same place. She was debating between the two career paths of professional singer and some businees project and after a few hours punctuated by  unsolicited bouts of her singing at me I was boundless in enthusiasm for the business venture.  "But I think I have a gift for singing" she said oblivious of the fact that she sounded like she was strangling a cat.  It may not have entirely been her fault that the rest of the weekend with my friends was blighted by a migraine... But to get back to the point it would work well if you talk to Tolly first since Annie will be ready for a nap after her toast but I am sure Al will have a chance to enlighten Elin as to the ways of the Shire very soon ..

			Galadriel55 I've just give Al a reason to go to the bar where Tolly is. Hope it's ok with you!
