Bonus farm news: I was applying my new-won knowledge of proper lifting technique today when I was stacking firewood, and did every instance of picking up wood very mindfully, and lo, it works! \o/ It didn't make my back tired, and it feels like my butt got a workout. : D I'm really trying to ingrain this, and using it even when just picking up a sock from the floor, but it does take some time to make it automatic.

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.

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...

Bonus farm news: Geeked out with my tomato spreadsheet, analyzing what categories of tomato we need to complement the ones we grew this year. Such as, we need an early paste bush tomato that tolerates cold conditions, we need more types of winter tomato, etc. No need for recs, really, I have the opposite problem of being spoiled for choice...there are TONS of tomato varieties.

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.

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.
