artsyhonkerIt is Wednesday, and here we are.
A breath for Wednesday. I forgot it was Wednesday, and failed at my strike from the birbsite and the book of face. That said, I use the birbsite less and less, these days.
Ta-da!
I sang some more cathedral services, and wrote some music, and visited father-in-law, and got some kind of gastric bug. Oops.
The Hard
Gastric bug. Not fun. Composing, to a deadline, with a gastric bug, and broken central heating. Finding out on the day of the deadline I'd been aiming for (and was hopelessly going to miss, and was in a spiral of being ever more stressed about it) that the deadline was actually a good two weeks later. Housemate getting the gastric bug, when we only have one loo in the house.
The Good
Deadline is two weeks later, which means I can attack this project a bit more sensibly now I have some idea what I'm doing.
Gastric bug is, I hope, clearing up.
Central heating is fixed.
Quests
So much admin backlog, always
So much laundry.
CL stuff.
Beethoven project.
Declutter clothing
Declutter books
Attempt resumption of some kind of routine, but gently
The PLN
For the rest of this evening, composing is where it's at. Then tomorrow is the start of resumption of routine building: a walk, some composing and some CL stuff, and I'll see how I'm feeling. Gently does it
How are you?
What have you done? What are your quests? What is hard in your life? What is good? What is your PLN (or plan)?

Date: 2018-01-10 08:35 pm (UTC)I had a bit of an epiphany today about speaking Welsh, which led to a post in Welsh and hopefully some reading in Welsh. I met with BIL on Sunday, and spent 2.5 hours speaking fairly fluent Welsh with some help from Aled. Odd bits were in English, because explaining what my work is, is currently beyond me, but I'll get there. The realisation was that I CAN speak acceptable Welsh and follow conversations, and I can get Huw to help me practice now because I can converse about some fairly complicated things - I'm starting to follow council meetings in Welsh better for example. I just needed confidence in myself. Once the Welsh has bedded in, the PLN is to get some French practice as theoretically I should have the same level (A level) in both languages.
The other thing I need to PLN about is doing Grade VIII piano - I must find a teacher soon, probably once I know I have a permanent job, or Huw lands a job.
Finally my quest! The eternal quest of a clean and tidy house, when living with a dyspraxic and untidy goat :)
