Gyllengran XXX
We arrived on site a bit after 22:00 on Friday. The hall is a "Folketshus" in a small town about 100 km inland from Sundsvall. The main room was set up with tables, and crash space was available on stage and on the balcony ( Read more... ) -
The week was even busier than expected
...but not near as productive.
Sunday I went to bed around midnight, but since I hadn't heard from Thorvald all day, I turned internet on on the phone in hopes of seeing him on line. My phone download an email that had come in during yoga. It said only:
"You have your priorities, and I have my priorities. They are not meshing well for either of ( Read more... ) -
I love events in Aarnimetsä
Though, to be fair, this one was rather special, being advertised as a "music bootcamp". Firday night the first singing workshop started fairly promptly after I was on site, borrowed sheets onto my bed and into costume. The singing continued till just before I went to bed around 01:30 or 02:00. We sang SCA songs, period songs, traditional Finnish ( Read more... ) -
Loving this linen
One week and a day ago I cut out a new underdress in the lovely white herringbone twill linen that I bought at the recent Viking costume workshop. The more I sew on this the more I am loving this fabric, it is so nice to touch ( Read more... ) -
some good ideas take longer to think of than others
I bought my hammer dulcimer almost five years ago now, and since then I have had to memorize each new tune I have learned, and learned them slowly, by carefully looking at sheet music, writing down the letters of each note, and then using that list of letters to learn which strings I needed to hit for each song. This works, but takes enough effort ( Read more... ) -
Uppsala excursion
I flew south on Friday morning and took the train from the Stockholm-Arlanda airport to Uppsala central station, where I was met by M. and we walked back to the apartment into which M, H, and K moved only one week ago ( Read more... ) -
Avancerad Motorisk Träning
While at my birthday party last month my acroyoga partner, E. got to talking with L., one of my folk dance friends whose children are very active in gymnastics locally. (It was her son, E., walking on his hands all the time during our weekly dance sessions that really inspired me to start training to learn to walk on my hands.) In their ( Read more... ) -
since some are moving to Dreamwidth
I am still not really 100% clear why, but it seems that some people are moving from LJ to Dreamwidth. I remember that happening a long time ago, too, and back then I went as far as setting up an account there and importing such journal entries as I had. But then never did anything with it again (last time I imported stuff was 2010). I have just ( Read more... ) -
an empty inbox
...used to be a normal thing in my world. Every day I would turn on the computer, check email, read everything in my main in-box folder and either reply, file, or delete it, and then check the various folders the list emails went to. Only after reading all of that did I start my work for the day ( Read more... ) -
the simple joys of working email
For many weeks now I have had a weird issue with gmail on my home computer--I could open it, but not actually read messages or reply, never mind that it worked just fine on my phone and my office computer. As a result I have been kinda ignoring email unless it was urgent enough to reply from my phone, and many messages have piled up in my inbox. ( Read more... )
