Didnt like the films much.
FRODO is the hero, not ARAGORN. (it comes out a very different story).
And for all the effort put into the films, Im not convinced anyone is fluent in Sindarin...or Quenya.
I promise I'm not going through a Goth phase - but I do realise I've found more and more solace in the works of Stocism for some time now and I do like the occasional memento mori/vivere to ensure I don't take life too seriously and realise eventually the only thing I will be sharing bedspace with will be the worms.
So saw this and decided its going to have a place in my garage gym as motivational inspiration.
Cast Iron Skull.
( Hope it comes as rusty as it looks as that for me adds to the charm )

OK, but if you start wearing dark eyeliner and listening to Sisters of Mercy then I might stop believing you.
I couldn't possibly look any worse than a certain Mr Smith of the Cure.
I have a problem with squirrels. We live next to a tree lined nature walk, and the damned squirrels happily destroy bird feeders.
They literally eat through the wires on those gridded mesh peanut holders
Today I got a pack of three supposedly squirrel proof feeders delivered
Including postage it was just under fifteen pounds

I am very pleased
I don't think anything apart from the judicious use of an airgun would stop the squirrels, but at least I think I'm winning for a bit

Blighter found it's way into the vent pipe on the roof and got into the pipe chase and down into the kitchen. Pinched some of the apples from the big trug that I was working through, dragged them under the chest of drawers at the back door and happily munched them there. Got into the tea towels drawer and tried to set up a nest!.....Annie has rats, I have squirrels.....and new tea towels.
We've blocked off that access using wire wool, but there's a big annoyed grey squirrel that sits on our roof rones now angrily chittering away at me.
I politely refer to it as a thieving rodent but under my breath I'm turning the air blue.
So far this past month it's eaten it's way into two compost bins, destroyed five birdfeeders, chewed stuff up the loft, and invaded my kitchen.
We're encouraged to believe that everything has it's place.....I wish the fox would take out this one to be honest.

Boxing Day breakfast usually comes in the form of a spicy Bloody Mary tbh.Any excuse eh?
Ever tried Baileys on cornflakes? Sets you up for Boxing Day a treat
I don’t think I could face Baileys. Or corn flakes in fact!
We get woodpeckers too though, and the young ones are the daftest things you have ever seen trying to cling onto the metal pole while sliding backwards downwards and flapping furiously and frantically to hang on.
On the whole I like the wildlife but I could do fine without the damage the squirrels cause. Our front gate slats are shredded at the top...that wasn't squirrels, that was badgers, clambering over to get out of the garden.
Sand traps for tracks are fun here
Somewhere there is an old uk film of a squirrel doing a similar obstacle course, to the soundtrack of the original TV Mission Impossible. I have seen a squirrel deliberately seeing and dodging an airgun pellet fired at it.
