Welcome to Gondolin!

So me and Dred are moving out of the apartments to a cottage. The cottage seems fruitful, what with the garden sprouting silmarils and all that, but hopefully in the future it'll stick to things like herbs and beans.

Some of our shift's come to help us move, and Dagnir is helping by trying to take people out whenever they're carrying a heavy box. It's a fun game of 'don't step on the cat because the cat will remove your leg at the knee'.

The cottage comes with furniture, so mostly what we're moving is my books, I've sort of accumulated a lot of them learning about this world and what's going on, and clothes and stuff like that. All of Dred's stuff fit in one box.

There's jussst enough of us that we should be able to get everything to the cottage in one trip and then have beer and whatever food we finally manage to decide on on the way.

The cottage itself is to the north, and near enough to the wall that it'll be an easy walk to go up and look out at the lake and mountains from the walls whenever I feel like it. I've been telling Dred about the giant shadows that live in the water, because I like seeing him go all big eyed.

It's further to the guard station, but with the vehicles they're working on for us, that might not be a problem at some point. Or I could learn how to use a bike. Given how little traffic this area receives, that's actually a possibility since there'll be less people to watch me fall on my face.

...still feeling pretty down about what went down with the silmaril, but wiser people than me have been advising me to just let go and not do something stupid like start a private war with a Feanorian over it.

So the rain finally stopped! Which is good. Which is nice. So it's just me, the mud, and the boring part of my patrol.

So! Today's my day off so I decided I deserved some not made by me food and went to the cafe near my apartment that actually serves non-whatever the heck that meat that the elves keep carting in that comes in the shape of huge deer things with branched out horns, among other animals.

And then I saw a goblin! Well, not a goblin. I think. Just a really ugly cat. But it looked all mangy and hungry and I thought, who'd feed a cat like that? And I don't eat fish, but I bet he does...
