huoommm ... thank you Master Thingol ... huoommm ... thank you very much .... yes, my pic doesn't show any Hobbit indeed ... rhuomm ... but you know why, as that Hobbit still is in Istra at the moment, am I right? ... homm?

There you are absolutely right, Master tree.....

... then we dicussed Purity (pun intended) of nickel and copper ...



next was about where a head should be ...



well, our Travelling Elrond had a manual ... though, certain he was not, I'm afraid ...



... then there was the very most important question to be answered about "Who was first?" ... alas, he at once put me second in line before he started to discuss that serious matter with ... ohhhh ... that figure drives me crazy ....



... anyway, I hope you enjoyed a bit ...

Err, yes, of course, Master Gildor. I hope I won't forget, as there still are some pics to be taken outdoors. Could take some time, methinks, as I am not always the "hasty one". But what I have read in the booklet coming along with Elrond I'm sure I'm not the one to host him longer than others did - no offence intended to anyone here. ... huommm ... there's an Elrond Gallery? ... good ... might better find out whom to pass on our Travelling Elrond this year ... could be "Protozeus" ... haven't heard of him for at least a year or so ... I'll find out ....

It wasn't you I was referring to, Master Gildor, though ... err ... seven months was quite a bit, wasn't it ... never mind, it's just a moment from the point of view from an old tree ... <--- that's me (the tree, not the moment)

one must not forget that Elrond is half-elven   he may not be as "long lived" as a regular elf even if he took the elf part, as opposed to his brother elros

I see... Elrond today was in good company... again ! In your home there are certainly many more adventures and characters to meet....

Just found out I forgot that pdf-thing when I tried to rename the files ...
OK, please let me give another chance. I'll try it again - and once I'm more successful this time I then maybe can delete the other entries ... it's always a mess with these computery-things ... so I'll try again

[ I'm not an eypert - can harddrives freeze? - somehow now it seems to work] ...ok ....

sorry, that wasn't the ent ... as I had to provide more than just one piece of slate ... the first one wasn't convenient somehow ... down and up again, you know ... meanwhile both were discussing about who should have a place where ....



that discussion then became very close to an Enthing, if you know what I mean ... over and over again ...



of course, somehow that Travelling Elrond convinced my poor Balrog to stay out of his place ... "his", he said ...



then I dared to ask them about that nameless things again ... "There are none!" both answered. ... I just admitted and immediately ordered a second set ... and then left them alone ... I suspect they expect me to haste each and everything ...
which I cannot, as you all might know ... alas ... anyway, I dunno what else happened last night ... better leave half-Elves and Balrogs alone ...
Though, this morning both were surprisingly friendly to me ... even smiling a bit ... they found some pure Antrazen, best stuff to use for giving an idea of glittering Mithril-silver in a diorama ... well, I have to admit, they helped a bit ... though ... by now they've both started complaining about the missing maggots again .... but, what can I say? ...

enjoy, I do hope I didn't pester you here with my passion ... and ... you know, don't always take me being serious ... Ent ...

hoummmm !

Err ... to be honest, both of us weren't sure about any success, but we kept relying on our single-person-audience ... Master Thingol.
Anyway, our Travelling Elrond agreed with the structure of holding a speech and convincing Trolls how to paint themselves. First, you announce and say why you are standing there on top of that stone. [which, of course isn't a stone-troll] ... see ...



See the problem right away? ... No Trolls, no interest ... alas no money for a new booklet .... we had to go on ... starting to present badly-sculpted and badly-painted Trolls, first the dumb-minded male .... first listener of all ...



then his lady ...



... hard to cope with by the way being in a position as a neutral photographer ...



Anyway, Elrond and me (the Tree) had by then aroused some interest among Trolls, which isn't easy to get at all.
So second step in our (Elrond's) speech was to point out the opposite, a very nice Troll, so to say ...



that was when we noticed something has been completely going wrong ... sounds from far away first, then I heard "he's not painted", or "There still are sprews, you see." ... or even worse ... though, to be honest, the audience increased ... so Trolls were coming ... first there just were some, expressing their disgust expressively ...



That time I tried to tell Elrond to leave that poor stage ... before insisting on telling them Trolls how to paint themselves ... alas



meanwhile there were only Trolls all around ... me, just a poor witness was even threatened ...



... this was not the end ... there came even more unpainted Trolls from right ...



Well, to be honest, all ended up in a hassle. So, Elrond and me didn't earn a dime. But now we know that Trolls don't pay for a ticket.



Master Travelling Elrond and me agreed today that we should change our concept next time.

The project "Talking with Trolls" went to a mess. Tonight that Elf and me must have a more serious discussion about what to do next weekend. Though time's running out for him by now he's not sure where to head next. ... alright, I'll find out and tell him.

.... I'm sure that's also excellent company which would like to enjoy Master Cameosis - "troll lawyer"
