Monday's miles: 15.7
Miles out of Hobbiton: 732.2
Miles out of Rivendell: 272.4
Miles to Lothlórien: 194
Anyway, most of today's miles are from that; then I walked down to the shops to meet Anna coming back on the bus, and we ran a couple of errands and got some salad stuff while we were down there. It was nice.
I didn't get a new watering can, though. The plastic nozzle on the one I have now disintegrated last summer, and I taped it back together from its assortment of pieces using high-strength clear shipping tape, because you can't buy replacement shower nozzles for these little plastic watering cans. Astoundingly, that worked all last summer and into this spring, and, in fact, the part that I fixed that way is still fine - but the parts I hadn't taped are taking their turn at disintegrating. And when I started taping those parts back together (at a loss of some of the holes in the shower head), it cracked in a couple more places. It really is like an eggshell at this point.
Despite that, I've taped it some more and it's working, less some of its spread. I wanted to get a new one at the shops, but the only ones they had at the Rite-Aid were also plastic, and I think I've had just about enough of that.

Watering can,
Watering things that only it can,
What's it like? It's made of metal!

Oh well. Time to take college chemistry, I guess. Tra la la!
