30th December, 2025: Name That Sportsman!
I think I can safely say I have two copies of The Lord of the Rings: Ralph Bakshi’s animated, 1978, version.
And I’m going to have to send back the DVD copy I got.
Amazon has both a DVD and a blu-ray version: and, given how their search results, go, sometimes?
I didn’t see the bluray version … until after I’d bought the DVD!
Something’s getting set back …

A few minutes ago, I took a couple of photos: outside the front of my building.
I don’t know that the camera on my phone catches the colours, but the sky … ?
Was gorgeous: with clouds turned glorious shades of red and pink, in the light of the sunrise.
OK: I grant you the old ‘Red Sky at Night’ saw reminds us the weather’s going to be (possibly) bad for the rest of the day.
But … ?
For the few moments it took me to take the photos, it was beautiful.

You’ll possibly remember that former Old Peculiar regular, Trevor Veail, died recently.
I’ve been contacted by Gill, his sister: who tells me his cremation is tomorrow — 31st December, 2025 — at 8·30.
As it’s what’s called a simple funeral, she’s encouraging us to send thoughts, then …
I’ll be pausing, I know that: as it will be a sad day.
