Riddles in the Dark

 When we first moved into the Hobbit Hole there were some things we needed to figure out. Things like; were we going to get a tv, and if so, where from and what size? What internet provider will we use? Can we hang stuff up on the walls, and if so, what do we use to hang it? Where would we put everything? We were in the dark about a lot of things, but slowly we figured it out.
 For the first 3-ish weeks living at The Hobbit Hole we didn't have internet. For a while we were deciding who to go with, and then it was actually getting someone to come and install it. "Three whole weeks with no internet?! What did you do to entertain yourselves?!"- you may ask. Well, it helps that we both own a good amount of movies/tv shows, as well as having some on our hard drives. Esther introduced me to this wonderful show called Horrible Histories. Our days were filled with work and using the wi-fi there while our evenings were filled with crafts, Horrible Histories, and the occasional movie.
 Every time I move it's always a bit of a hassle to get everything organized and figured out. This time it was a bit easier as I have a great flatmate and live in a great (albeit a bit small) apartment. Many things are hung on the walls, crafting supplies are everywhere (organized chaos), and we actually bought a tv so that we could give back the loaner one we had. The Hobbit Hole is a great place, and if you ever have a chance to visit, c'mon over! The only thing is that to enter, you may need to answer a riddle.
 So if you are planning to move, in the middle of a move, or are just settling in and everything isn't quite the way it is supposed to be, just remember "[W]ithout the dark, we'd never see the stars." -Unkown
