Things Under Way

 At the moment, watching Fellowship of the Ring while maintenance works on the toilet seals.

A part of today's work will involve moving of some stuff as I begin the create a space, easily shifted and changed at need, wherein I can, should I so choose, take photos and perhaps an odd video in the Waystation,

At this time I have no way to change the appearance of the wall and such, hence the Gondorian banner there. Over time I'll come up with some bits I can put in place and take down at need to give it a better flavor. Also the application of some hangers for the LED lanterns. The candles look real enough and can be spaced about as needed. Mug(s), probably my oak 'x' chair (a good incentive to repair the leather seat and get it back in service), perhaps some other banners or whatnot. Antlers on the wall maybe. We shall see what I come up with.

Then, in proper Ranger-Harper attire, I can take photos, perhaps make an odd video (in which I will have no idea what to say). I can likely do the odd kit commentary, perhaps a bit of arrow fletching or something, who knows? 

I could show my Easterling bow, the nice quiver for it. Perhaps work on the bow quiver itself on occasion. Tooling and whatnot. I have a great many skills and fair bit of knowledge. Perhaps some will be useful, maybe even fun, one never knows, some of them might be okay...

It ought to be fun, and illuminating, to try.

Changes

 Shoulder injury, Covid, etc. These things have wrought changes. Of course they have.

The shoulder injury is mostly healed although it still causes trouble with drawing a longbow. The discovery that using a thumb ring with my composite bow is still an option. Something about the rotation of the arm with this method circumvents the injured area. At least it seems so.

The bow is a Scythian replica, made for me in Hungary. I have a nice belt quiver as well, which even has a tree of life or something similar tooled into it.

This old Ranger has traveled widely in her time. To lands East of Rhûn and the Bitter Sea, to the South to Far Harad where the stars are strange. Into the far North where the ice folk live. I have met with those of Khand, Easterlings, Wagon Folk, and the Haradrim, among others. 

Small wonder then if I have chosen an eclectic mix of kit over the years. 

While I turn more to harp and flute than to sword and bow these days, I still have the ability to sting at need. 

It is a strange thing, to wander the roads and paths of the world. A strange, wonderful, beautiful thing.
