helwenEarly Saturday morning I did a bit of dancing, then later was helping with cleaning at the farm, and a bit of yardwork. The afternoon was spent over at House M&M working on making new tabards for the Bergental part of the Snowberg fighting unit. I forget what we did when we got home. The dancing was perhaps not a wise thing to do, Friday night's kungfu class having been as intense as it was.... sigh. Perhaps if I'd had on something slower than Hossam Ramzy's Sabla Tolo - Journeys into pure Egyptian Percussion. Yes, I know I don't have to go as fast as the beat, but even at 1/2 that... I seem to have pinched or strained something in the front of my right hip.
Leaving Chicopee Saturday evening, there was sound and vibration of an unfortunate nature from the car, leading to part of Sunday: Adventures with Brakes
Choir practice in the evening was attained and went pretty well. We can now get all the way through Il est bel et bon and even sound good. We also have Pase el agoa and Dindirin, Dindirin and Ecco la Primavera down reasonably well. We've created a variant on the first of those three because it felt too short, and I think it sounds pretty nice.
Monday was typing and proofing a chapter for my mom's book. Generally speaking I haven't been doing as much of the proofing/editing in the past year, but this chapter was a bit rough so I gave it some extra time, and hopefully am saving the regular readers some time and effort (Chapter 8).
My Godfather David and I have been having some chats and exchanges of letters this year. He's been trying to get in touch with more people, and I was able to chase down a couple of addresses for him. He lives in Switzerland, so the calls are generally short but energetic. Funny guy :)
Kungfu again in the evening, which went pretty well. Right hip behaved during class, right knee was a little cranky.
Tuesday morning -- went out and planted potatoes. It's a little early, but they're all sprouting. On frost nights we can throw some hay on them for now. 11 of the LaRatte fingerlings and 11 of red potatoes. I forget what exact type for the latter, but they're good potatoes, winter well, and I got them from folks who grow their veggies chemical-free.
If anyone local wants some sprouted fingerlings or red skin potatoes, let me know ASAP. Otherwise, the spares are going over the wall into the compost.

The Laundry Lines Are Up!!!!!! Whoot!!
