What a day!

enismirdalI have spent 9am to 5pm dressed as a hobbit, which was all very well and good except it's been a relatively cold day and my little legs got rather chilly. The performance went well, and I managed to get all my lines right for the first time ever! Hooray! I was getting worried, because whenever I fixed one line, a new one seemed to go wrong.
We ordered pizza for lunch and picked it up in costume. So the poor bloke from Domino's was greeted by four bouncy (female) hobbits and a Strider. Pizza = good. At dinner time I discovered that the Italian down the road does the best desserts in the universe. "The Godfather for two" - enormous brownie/ice-cream/mousse/whipped cream sundae thing; I think I ate one and a half people's share. But it was so good, what choice did I have?
It's not even nine o'clock and I'm ready to flop on the floor and start snoring, which considering I fell asleep at lunchtime when everyone else was watching the Scarlet Pimpernel, is not very impressive. I don't know how celebrities cope with all that showbiz stuff - I'd be a zombie within a week if I was an actor.
Oooh, but it was so much fun. We all posed for photos afterwards, and just before the real performance, they decided my other part (generic orc) required a sword, so I got a sword! Yay! I got to 'hack' Isildur's Men to pieces. Then I got to shoot invisible arrows at Isildur. We've also all been given 'rings of power' as souvenirs (mine has been added to my keyring).
