I’ve just spent the last week so sick I couldn’t think straight, couldn’t even read. So I retreated to the couch and switched on the TV to watch Lord of the Rings, the extended version. The nice thing about this is that I’ve seen it so many times it doesn’t matter if I doze off.
In fact my favourite part is the beginning, set in the Shire. I could watch this over and over. I indulge myself with daydreams about building a hobbit hole of my own and running away from it all to live a simpler life. Consoling myself with the thought that, if I did build a hobbit hole it would be environmentally friendly!
What are you comfort reads and movies?
Oh I love the Shire scenes. It’s such a gorgeous place.
I think I tend to watch an episode of a fave tv program that’s being repeated on SciFi – usually having the word Star in it 🙂
Since I read all over the shop, I usually have something that is right for a particular moment, or something in the TBR pile to suit. My towering TBR pile.
TBR piles, ah yes. Know the feeling, Eleni. My bedside table has been known to disappear under piles of books.
The other show I watch when I’m too sick to think is Bewitched. I grew up watching it so it feels like home.
