I have been productive!
Motivated by a discussion/ some planning for the next Rohan LARP I finally managed to tune my lyre. It doesn't have as many strings as I'd like - only one octave + two strings - but technically I can now produce tunes in C major/ A minor and F major/ D minor. With a lot of transposing, bah, but still.
Promptly spent two hours playing around. Incredible how addictive musical instruments can be when you no longer have to play them ;) And as I'd already dug out my recorder (I needed something to give me the pitch after all) I played around with that, too. Badly, but it begins to come back to me, so I figure by April I'll be able to play one or two dancing tunes without too many mistakes.
Problem is I now have another project I want to do. Namely: A handbook on historic dances, Middle-earth style. Rohan LARP compatible. The Gondorian Dancing Master, so to say.
Like I don't have enough to do...
Weeded another plot in the garden - it's incredible how fast the stuff I don't want to grow there comes back while the plants I want are so slooow. The mangetouts are already bearing the first pods, though, and the zucchini and pumpkin plants are coming along nicely, and the strawberries are still producing new fruits even though I've been plucking strawberries for weeks now, and the turnips are doing very well too! The onions are rather unhappy because the kittens keep playing among the stalks, there were nasty larvae in the chives, and the potatoes are taking disturbingly long this year. But, on the whole, all on the green side!
And now I am cooking![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
macalla_'s lentil-rice-cakes, except we're out of rice so I used millet. Will see whether the result will be edible.
EDIT: Not just edible, delicious. Henceforth, will always use millet.
-- How can THREE MEN fail at penalty kicks? Of course it can happen that the goaly holds the ball three times, but THREE PLAYERS not even shooting in the general direction of the box?!
So it's going to be Germany : Turkey in the semifinals. Kinslaying. KINSLAYING I SAY.
