felis_lupusDay 3 1/2 of gray, drizzly, rain. It lightened up a bit today, but not for very long, or very brightly... tomorrow is supposed to be better. Not many chances for photography; there are interesting fogs, and there are March fogs, which are leaden, gray, and just kinda sit there. I give you two shades of pretty pink tulips, from a few weeks ago instead.
Came away from lunch and shopping on Friday with a buncha good books, a new basket, and a parking ticket. Whoops. Stayed too long in the same spot. $7 to the town of Exeter... Plenty of inspiration for good scrolls, though, in my purchases.
Saturday![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alexsaintpierre, evensongs_fall, and anna_mickel, and I, along with another friend of ours, played for a "medieval feast" put on by the Franco-American group in Lewiston. Was a lot of fun. The FA center is in a former cathedral, so the acoustics were phenomenal, and once the assembled masses moved off the stage and quit staring at us like we were goldfish (bettas?) in a bowl, everything went just fine. Delicious dinner afterward, with a bit of a floor show. I imagine it was much like going to the 'Medieval Times' restaurant, but a bit more fun and relaxing. :)
Working on a scroll now, much less AIEEE thananna_mickel's Silver Crescent, but still pretty, and has gold. Gotten the new permacoll to behave for me, mostly. Still some tweaking to do. I find I may need to build up 3 thin layers with this stuff, rather than just one down and golden with the old. Takes more patience. WAAA! I'm impatient! But it's pretty and shiny anyway.
Figured out what was/is wrong with the fish... both tanks, same water change, had a major pH crash. Hasn't come back up yet. Need to do a vacuum and water change either every day or every other day, I think. Until then, Eros is the proud resident of a studio apartment while his country home is being fumigated... (translation: he's moved into a tiny 1/2 gallon bowl on the counter, while I clean up the 3-gallon aquarium.) The fungus has cleared, thank goodness, but the day after I changed the water, he was lying listless at the bottom of the tank again... not good. Finally did a pH test, and it was off the charts, in the low range. Not good. Clear water tests fine, neutral, so into a bowl he went. The moment I moved him into clean water, he perked up. Still perky. Don't know what happened last week, but I don't want it to happen again.
Chicken noodle casserole for dinner... I think... just kinda dumped a bunch of noodles and peas and chicken into a dish with some cream of celery/chicken soup, and threw it in the oven. I'm hungry, I think I'll eat it anyway. :)
