Day 11: china_shop, badly_knitted, trobadora, sylvanwitch, sanguinity, cornerofmadness,

Bonus farm news: We ended up leaving the boar carcass on a clearcut a mile into the forest away from any houses, cutting open the skin so the birds of prey would have an easier time. Wild boar skin is tough.

Ugh, looong day at work; comment replies tomorrow. 100 words of longfic.

Day 9: trobadora, goddess47, sylvanwitch, badly_knitted, chestnut_pod, sanguinity, china_shop,

Bonus farm news: When I came home this evening we had a dead wild boar hanging from a rafter in one of the sheds. It had apparently got stuck in a fence wire with its leg, and a neighbor helped my housemate to shoot it. But then he had to go to work and did not have time to gut it etc, and now it's too late. So no boar meat for us. But then, I bet it was super stressed by having its leg caught (poor boar!) and perhaps the meat would not have been good on that account. So now we have a boar carcass to dispose of somehow...

Alibi sentence, sigh. How about you?

Day 8: china_shop

Bonus farm news: We hosted a seed swap, which was fun! We've been learning about harvesting our own seed from vegetables during the year, and had some of our own to offer. And it was a good way to meet some new people in the area, too.

Well, it's great that it's the weekend, but my day was SO FULL and I'm very tired (in a good way) and did not even write an alibi sentence. Ah well. How about you?

Day 5: china_shop, sylvanwitch, badly_knitted, goddess47, chestnut_pod, trobadora, brithistorian, sanguinity, cornerofmadness, carenejeans,

Bonus farm news: We went and got four trailer-loads of manure from a nearby farm with horses. The ducks thought Christmas had come early (they love eating worms).

Ugh, a third very busy day in a row. Only some alibi editing, alas. But I'm looking forwards towards the weekend, and tomorrow at least I can stay home! How is your writing going?

Okay, not so much farm news as food news: We hadn't made gelato for some time, but tonight we made saffron gelato with chopped raisins, and almonds that I ran through a mixer and then toasted in a pan, and added a little bit of salt. Yum, can recommend.

How was your writing day? I wrote about 150 words on the epilogue of my longfic, and since my writing the last few months has not been very productive and today was a busy day, I am happy with that. More tomorrow, hopefully.

Bonus farm news: I harvested my experimental oca plant yesterday. The yield was very small, and I had expected no better, as they really need a longer growing season. Perhaps next year we'll try it as one of the experimental ground crops under the high-growing tomatoes in our new polytunnel.
