And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon

For @Buechersuechtling your question to whether the bobble survived is yet to be decided as it's being held captive until Bilbo decides if it is useful to her. She seems to be thinking hard on it 😅🦉 @Mishu94 @Jackal121

Jackal121 @hannah-leeloo it won't survive her wrath 4y

Is this an owl? A cat? The product of a moonlit tryst between the two in their pea green boat? I do not know. Cozy though. #Christmas #selfie
