It was a foul day in the shire. The rain was tumbling from the skies and the scarlet leaves were blowing through the air. Frodo looked out of his window and saw a poor hobbit fighting with the wind attempting to go down the path to the market. Other than that there was no one in sight. "Well I shan't be going anywhere today." Frodo concluded. He walked into the kitchen and brewed a cup of tea. He also hacked of a doorstep of bread and buttered it and added some cheese for a sandwich. He munched thoughtfully thinking of what he would do all day cooped up inside. He washed up the plates and went into the lounge where he saw the piano. He sat down and began to play.
Sam sat in his rocking chair when Elanor ran in to the room. She smiled broadly and asked her dad to play with her. "Very well, what would you like to play?" He asked.
"Please tell me a story." She pleaded. Out of nowhere she pulled a small book. "It's the one where the hobbit goes to fight the scary monsters." She said gleefully. She bounced onto his lap and snuggled into her father. He began the story.
It was at 12 that Pippin finally rolled out of bed. He had a massive hangover and stumbled into the kitchen for some water. He looked bleary eyed out of the window. It was the first time he had realised there was a storm raging. He slumped down and sipped his water thoughtfully. He wondered what he should do today. "Well I can't see Merry or anyone else today." He sighed again. "I might as well eat some cake and go back to bed" he concluded.
Merry woke up at 11 am. Unlike Pippin he didn't suffer from hangovers as much. He got dressed and donned a navy blue jacket and went for some breakfast. He heard a purring and his cat jumped onto his lap. The little kitten looked up at him and purred as Merry stroked the sleek black fur. "Little Ebony, were going nowhere today." Merry said. He stroked the kitten for a while until she began to nudge him. "Oh, your hungry are you? Well come along then little one." Merry gave the kitten a saucer of milk and went into the lounge to read some maps. The kitten trotted in and mewed curiously at Merry wagging her tail. "What?" he asked defensively. "You never know when one of these maps may be needed." He said looking at the kitten.
