Tolkien, bitches. Get you some. That's the Quenya translation of the quote in the inner circle.

I thought Quenya was supposed to be written in straight lines?

But then it would have messed with the "one ring" aesthetic. I've actually never stumbled across that rule, but just as English is written left to right in straight lines, we often take artistic license in our graphic designs and calligraphy.

I'm only messing, it looks great. I'm jealous.

You've just escaped from prison .. on horse back (or possibly on a motorcycle)?

Lol yep, I'm now posting from back in the prison
Actually I have on wellies, which isn't quite as sexy huh. I've also tactfully covered up the dead priest I beat to death with my coat in the photo. No need to be callous.
I don't think I've felt so at peace and "as one" with nature as when I was sitting right there. It was near the top of aero force (I think it's called), a massive waterfall. I didn't want to leave. My stress and depression seemed to melt away.

So do you put those wellies to good use in a garden or are they more for tromping over messy ground for exercise?

I do put them to good use in the garden, but not by gardening. I use them to help me look after my rabbits who run around in it without slipping over or bringing in half the garden with me!
We did quite a lot of walking on the holiday, more than I'd usually do. I can't exercise very much due to my chronic fatigue syndrome, but I'm very slowly getting better. I'm doing more, and there's a possibility of doing some distance learning to become a book keeper from home. I'm a long way from offering any sort of rigid timetable, but when I can work when I'm up to it, it might be possible. And I can start very slowly.
(He only asked about your wellies, shut the fuck up!)

I need to get me some of those for when I wade into mucky and wet areas for photographs.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
