I left that rp forum. I can tell when rpers are only bothered about the board being centered around their favourite ship and aren't really that bothered about writing with characters which aren't connected to theirs in that way. I'm not going to bother roleplaying any more and just write stories.

Been watching Channel 5's All Creatures Great and Small. I don't like it as much as the BBC version. The sets are too perfect and pristine, the costumes the same, there is less focus on the clients, less focus on the animals, and it doesn't feel as authentic. Gone is the Yorkshire dialect, too. It's too polished.
Spent the afternoon decorating a hobbit house in LOTRO. I used some Rohan windows as built in cupboards. Didn't know what to do with them, really because there wasn't room for them in the Rohan house. Sometimes you just have to be creative with housing decorations.

It seems I managed to tire Max out today. Good. Means that I get some peace this afternoon.
Took Max out for a very good walk today. He needed it, and it exposed him to new things. My dodgy leg muscle is stiff now.

Lovely work. The pictures take me back to my childhood and tuning in to The Animals of Farthing Wood.

It was one of my favourite shows during my early teens. The images are either what I've found while searching google, or they are from digital copies of Farthing Wood Friends.

There's enough light now to be able to work on the Mill Hill designs again. I have a couple of large ones which need finishing off from last year (one of them from the year before, to be exact.) And a new one I got recently. They are nicely secured in a tin so when I'm not working on them, a little border collie who likes to chew things can't get at them.
This probably explains why a DVD release of the BBC/Netflix production has never been made, and why lots of merchandise relating to the BBC/Netflix adaptation suddenly vanished. It's a shame that the rights and licensing weren't done properly to start with. https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/18497956.watership-authors-family-wins-rights-battle-producer/
It also doesn't remind me of my elderly relatives, all now gone, who lived through that era, nor does it remind me of how vets were when I was a kid. That world is gone. It probably suffers from the lack of input from people who lived in those times. Robert Hardy who played Siegfried in the BBC version actually knew Tolkien and C. S. Lewis.
