Fishing contest

The Order was pondering over ideas for new socials and adventures and whatnot during our kin meeting in July and I had one that was definitely ambitious. 

I acquired what the lankeys call a holiday house in West Gondor. Generally speaking, I am more than happy to share my good luck with my Kin - so began planning a trip for all who were able to go visit and have a relaxing and fun time away, though nowt beats our happy home in The Shire.

"By Mahal's whiskers!! What have I been drinking?" Midarin groaned and grunted while he stretched and held his head as if it was about to fall off. The pain of his aching skull throbbed like there was a nasty Orc drumming away in his ear.
As Midarin grunted low some more, while carefully stretching his arms, the cracking of his joints could be heard as clear as a bell, growing louder and louder in his head.
