More from The History of The Hobbit

Well, most of us are familiar with the fact that Frodo was subject to prescient dreams, and that even Pippin and Merry had them at Bombadil's house, while Pippin had flashes of foresight on at least three canonical occasions, and Frodo was downright prophetic at the end of LotR.

Now I have an evening of picking out stitches ahead of me.

*sigh*

Well, at least "What Not to Wear" is on, and the DH is at a seminar this weekend, so I can watch it.
