Here comes the hobbit...

...or rather, Mr Armitage, looking unusually fierce and terrifying in a lot of leather and eyeshadow and wielding a big weapon called something or other - oh, I know, it's Orcrist, the Goblin Cleaver. So am I a Tolkien nerd, or what?

Only a few more days to wait. I think I might manage it.

Apparently, you can buy coasters depicting Mr Armitage.  What? Put my cup of coffee down on his lovely face? I don't think so, somehow. A coaster depicting Smaug, now - perhaps.
