''In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit...' ''In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit...'' Can't believe it's already been 3 years since I visited Hobbiton! 😍 #throwbacktuesday Believe it or not, it really felt like coming home, to a place of childhood dreams. Any other Tolkien fans out here? ⛰️ . . . #hobbiton #hobbithouse #hobbithole #lordoftherings #erraticengineeress #lotr #geeklife #tolkientribe #tolkiensociety #tolkiencollection #lotrmovies #hobbit #geekingout #newzealand #wetaworkshop #movieset #geeksquad #oneringtorulethemall
Yesterday we returned the boat and drove back home Yesterday we returned the boat and drove back home to Slovenia, so my sailing holiday is now officially over. ⛵ However, my brain still thinks I'm on a boat and I can feel an imaginary gentle swaying of the sea when I walk. 😂 Our brains do the strangest things... Do you ever feel like you're on a boat before falling asleep? 🌊 . Also, I'll be sharing a bit about the boat we had and how stuff works on my stories today, so come check it out. 👆 . . . #nightscape #sailing #sailinglife #vacationvibes #summervibes #sailstagram #saillife #premuda #huaweip30pro #erraticengineeress #hellohuawei #boatinglife #boatlife #sea #stargazing #nightimages #nightsky #stars #starrynight #croatia #croatiafulloflife #croatiatravel #travelling #travelphotography #photography #travelgram #traveltagged
Since I'm on a boat right now, this week's #errati Since I'm on a boat right now, this week's #erraticbookwednesdays reading recommendation will be appropriately sailing themed. ⛵The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst by Nicholas Tomlin and Ron Hall is a reconstructed biography of Donald Crowhurst, an amateur sailor who participated in the 1968 round-the-world sailing race to become the first man to sail around the world alone. Someone else won and made history, but this book is not about him. 🏅This one is about Donald Crowhurst's slow descent into madness alone out on the ocean, after he faked a part of his race reports to save face when he realised he couldn't actually do it. His boat was found empty out at sea, with a solder iron precariously balanced on a milk can and the sail still on, so he likely committed suicide after he found out he could actually accidentally win the race and his logbooks would be throughly examined. 🌊 Two British journalists reconstructed his sailing and mental journey based on his logbooks, tapes and philosophical writings found onboard (he was hallucinating about sea monsters at some point). 🐡 It's a harrowing account of a lonesome man under pressure, left with no good choices and faced with impossible odds, so it's absolutely worth a read even if you're not a sailing fan. P. S.: There's also a movie called the Mercy. 📚 Do you like to read biographies? Any good recommendations? . ''...the poisons in your body, you must get rid of them. I don't know what they are, but they've got to go. The sea's the way to get rid of them I'm sure.'' N. Tomlin and R. Hall - The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst . . . #bookstagram #huaweip30pro #erraticengineeress #bookrecommendations #donaldcrowhurst #thestrangelastvoyageofdonaldcrowhurst #themercymovie #sailstagram #saillife #sailing #sailinglife #sailingadventure #boatlife #hrvatska #jadranskomore #jadranje #sailingrace #regatta #videogram #croatiafulloflife #croatiatravel #kornati
''It is said by the Eldar that in water there live ''It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.''
