I'll never understand why Instagram is such an awkward website to use.

I'll do some screen shots of the Rohan house when they are ready.

So, because of the Rohan house update, you can display your fav mounts at your Rohan house, and turn your cosmetic pets into decorations for your house. You get some "free" slots for your mounts when you buy a house or you can add them later with mithril coins. You need mithril coins to turn your cosmetic pet into decoration. These cost 25 mcs each. If you are VIP, you get points with your subscription, so you could

use the points with your sub to add the pets and mounts. Now, I have practically wasted mithril coins using the stable travel system and teleporting me back to npcs when getting back to them is confusing/time consuming, so what is the fuss about this? It's not that much. If you wait for double points sales, etc, you can even get mithril coins for 'free'. Folks just like to moan about stuff.

Getting 25 mithril coins with your VIP points isn't really that expensive, either. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy mithril coins for this purpose, but if I have some left over, then I'd use points up this way.

And it's no worse than people buying black keys to open lootboxes, which I've also done with my spare points.

Currently having some fun decorating the Rohan house. I still don't know what to do for some of it, but there are plenty of creatures in the garden, the bedroom above the stables is nearly complete and I've converted the cellar into a kitchen. (Could have done with a few more hooks down there, though.)

I must say that the Rohan housing is the best in LOTRO. Although the Gondor ones were impressive, they lacked the homely quality and the Rohan housing has a lot of small, self-contained areas for you to decorate/make your own. I still don't really know what to place there yet, but I have made a nice loft bedroom above the stable. Still trying to figure stuff out.

I caved, and bought a Rohan House.

I kind of forgot that I'd built up some points because I still had some VIP left when I was forced to stop playing the game. (Quite possibly, the longest points that have ever been there.)

Well, the LOTRO housing and escrow is a bit chaotic, but it's not surprising after not being able to get into the game for such a long time. On the plus side, it does mean that I can make a fresh start. (The hobbit house in the banner on my lotr fan site is a causality of it.)

Today is definitely one of those days where everything ha been annoying. Time for a quiet afternoon.

I hope that they do a Spring Festival encore. We finally have lots of hobbit furniture items, which sadly, I've just missed.

Filbert Fig has finally returned. Shame that I hardly have any figments of splendour to spend...

I feel like I am home again, in LOTRO, though I won't be doing the Farmer's Faire festival this year, nor ever again, for personal reasons.

The thing is, sometimes you will /do/ things, but you can't always get around to them right away, don't have the money, aren't always in good enough health, etc... People aren't patient or just plain rude/nasty about things and you are not under any obligation to do what they want you to do, do stuff when they want it, do stuff just to please them.

While at uni, I deliberately didn't cut my hair for a year because an unfriendly flatmate made derogatory comments about it because I wouldn't waste money going to a salon thingy with her. It's a dangerous thing to complain/make derogatory comments about stuff.

You sound just like me. The number one way to make me double down on something is to criticise me for doing it. Part of the reason that I wear and decorate with pink so much is because some people have made derogatory comments about me doing so before.

I am seriously considering letting the garden get overgrown again this year, simply on the basis that a neighbour is moaning about it already.

OK... This is a twilight zone moment, because I never expected it to happen without getting a new computer and changing internet providers, but.... Microsoft Edge is actually working at a speed it should and downloads are actually downloading at a speed that you should expect. The reason why I consider it strange is because for over a year (November '19 to be exact), the internet hasn't been working properly, and

finally, this evening, it is. What gives? Should I be suspicious of it? Is our internet provider going to suddenly present us with an enormous phone bill?

So, I'm getting the Simon R. Green pages done (at least the structure for them, anyway...) I first came across his books when I bought Deathstalker from an independent bookshop some years ago. Loved the series - it's sort of what you would get if you crossed Star Wars with Marvel/DC. The books are quite long and there are two series of them and a prequel omnibus. I've always wanted to see them made into movies.

bright-eyes 5 years ago

The bookshop I bought them from no longer exists, unfortunately, which saddens me quite a lot because I saw it grow from a one room shop and expand into the buildings behind it. It was the best independent shop I've known for its diversity of books and my home town is poorer because it's no longer here.
