I teach by day and the rest of the time I read, draw and sundry such things. My timeline is filled with my own drawings, not infrequently related to Tolkien

Tolkientober:4:Armour
- 'But behold!' said he, 'in the armour of Fate(…)there is ever a rift, and in the walls of Doom a breach, until the full-making, which ye call the End. So it shall be while I endure, a secret voice that gainsayeth, and a light where darkness was decreed

When I was on a vacation that took us to Cornwall we happened to get a flat tire right outside a very friendly gentleman that gave us a free ride to Truro so we could pick up our rental car - he was passionate of many things, among others Cornwallian separatism.

...elections and serve the term. In district court we sit three lay judges and one judge. Each of the members of the court have one vote so theoretically the lay members could out vote the judge (the only one that have formal juridical ed) But it is very rare.

Hope you find your experience rewarding.
Being part of the process i super interesting.
I cant of course relate the experience of sitting in US court, but I am a part timer in the Swedish one.
I sit as a lay-jugde approximately one day a month.
Elected by our municipality parties after...(1/2)

TolkienTrewsday: Flora and Fauna
-(…)He saw no colour but those he knew, gold and white and blue and green, but they were fresh and poignant, as if he had at that moment first perceived them and made for them names new and wonderful.
