Move Over G-I Joe

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all out there in Blog Land!!! What do you get for someone who loves Richard Wagner!! Recordings, books, letters from Wagner asking for another 25,000 Thalers to finish the Ring (and you should be glad I am asking you!!).....No....

My partner got me.....

A Wagner doll the plays Ride of the Valykrie when you wind him up and....

wait for it...

a Wagner Action figure that moves!!! He will be a welcome addition to my desk at Glyndebourne!!

I am going to collect all the figures - Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, Strauss and the action opera house set and watch them fight crime as Der Komponeist League of Baveria!!!

Now that's fun!!!

It's Beginning To Look at Lot Like Christmas!!!

Credit crunch be damned!! - Wotan (in the Father Christmas Hat) and his partner David (and Corgi and cat out of picture) are intent on enjoying this Christmas. This weekend turned a lovely tree from Scotland into a massive Christmas Tree which sits in Haus Pooksnig (no sword growing through it though).

What would Treebeard have said about the pagan practice of Christmas Trees??? Perhaps this is where the Entwives went to and now we dress the up with tinsle and ornaments!!!
Also, half way through JK's latest offering - Tales of Beedle the Bard - which are excellently crafted fairy tales for wizards and witches with commentary by Albus himself - wonder if this is the first of several and if JK has a Silmarillion like back story waiting in the wings - I'm sure Bloomsbury would be happy if she did!!!!

Mereth Veren e-Doled Eruion! Garo Idhrinn Eden Veren!!
