The weekend
May. 20th, 2007 10:39 pmMuch cleaning, moving and packing happened this weekend.
fitzw got a decent amount of work done on putting in baseboards (see his post for details) in the dining room. Much more to be done. Got quite a bit of stuff out of the corner bedroom, which is good since I'll need to work on mudding and painting the walls. Not sure when that will happen, as gardening is _still_ happening, as well as embroidering and other stuff. But it will happen.
Went to Webs Saturday morning and bought much weaving yarn goodness. Mostly wool, as seems to be my penchant these days. Some cotton, a tiny bit of rayon, some silk/cotton/linen blend that looked interesting. Some for us, most to try to make stuff for selling. Ah yes, more weaving needs to happen this week.
Did a little research on medieval treaties. Not found a lot of stuff, but hopefully enough that
fitzw has something to work with, before sending it off to
masteralcuin ASAP for calligraphy.
Went to the farm this afternoon; I even got to help out with moving some slates and stuff, before lunch. Then playing cribbage with Marian per usual, while
fitzw worked with William. All good :)
Concentus practice went well this evening. We worked on singing more closely in harmony, with much success.
Good that came of cleaning the corner bedroom -- found the pad with the paintings I was trying to find last fall. They were in fact in the corner of the room I thought they were in, but they'd somehow gotten mixed in with the stamp stuff... and a friend of mine is working on writing words to go with some of my paintings, so I may have more work to do this summer on that front as well.
Not much reading this weekend. Some time for introspection. Thinking about how to plan for variable futures. The strawberries and kale are looking good... It's all good.
