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?
