ewtTribal timesharing, anyone? This could be an interesting way to run a technohippiecommune.
Yesterday I assembled one (cheap, crap) rose arch and started the potato stack (finally!). Tried out my new garden fork and it is good. The soil is in better condition than I'd thought, that and the presence of the remains of a watering system suggest that it has been used as a vegetable bed before. I don't think I'm going to use the watering system as it was intended, as I lack the wherewithal and probably some of the tools to fix it all up and hook it up to some sort of pressurised system. I will probably put bits of hose into the ground with funnels on top so I can water under the soil easily, though.
I plan to start the elderflower champagne on Saturday. This means I need bottles Very Soon. Monday would be good.
Today I have mostly procrastinated. Got a prescription filled, and bought shorts for summer, both of which needed doing so I haven't been a complete slacker, but still, it shouldn't have taken teh better part of a day to do this. The only summer shopping left is to get sandals of some sort, and I might try to build my own out of a cheap nasty pair that came free with a rubbish magazine. I want a summer dress too but I keep promising myself I will MAKE that. I have a sewing machine and everything. Oh, I also acquired a flannel (that's brushed cotton, for all you UK folks, not towelling) nightdress from which to make menstrual pads, since I've lost/destroyed all my old ones and I'm not getting on with the MoonCup as well as I used to (no idea why but it seems to make my cramps worse; maybe because I'm heavier now and there is more pressure, or something? No idea.), and I don't really like using icky throw-away paper things when there are environmentally friendly alternatives. Second-hand shops are great.
Discovered that the Schick Quattro quadruple-blade razors I got in Canadia are available here under the Wilkinson brand. They even take the same refills. Happiness. Some people seem to think that a quadruple-blade razor is overkill, but personally I have had good results with them.
Yesterday's headache is still around but not as bad as it was yesterday. Maybe I did hit my head on something and I just don't remember it. Grah to that.
I still need to:
-hang out my washing
-make a zillion phonecalls (students to re-arrange some of this Sunday's teaching, Dartington to talk about going there, accompanist to arrange rehearsal sometime next week, blah blah blah).
-work on some written assignments
-practise lots
-iron Aikido kit
-go to Aikido
so I guess I'd best get going now...
This is yet another gratuitous icon post.
