At the dimming of the day

Okay we've made it. Baby settled [invisible pause while that proves to be not the case at all... okay, Baby settled again]. Twins sleeping. And while it transpires that I'm a bad person for not knowing the entire back catalogue of Thomas the Tank Engine songs, still, we have reached a point where all is calm.

I started reading War and Peace last night (which I have never read; been on The Big List of Things to Read for many a year). It appears we're starting with the war bit [invisible pause for re-settling... :-)]. Anyhoo, 17 pages down, 1341 pages to go.

By this point in Lord of the Rings, wasn't there a dragon or an urgent mission, or at the very least a birthday party with fireworks and invisibility?

I'd even welcome some finely blown smoke-rings at this point.
