Slowly getting back into the flow

Despite waking up very low energy today and having a hard time focusing on uni work, I still managed just over four hours of uni work today, which is my best time since the Sunday before Christmas. Those four hours resulted in 956 new words for my thesis and three new figures (and much refinement of previously existing figures and a good bit of editing previously existing words to make them reflect the revised figures). Didn't really accomplish much else with my day. I did spend a bit of time playing with my hammer dulcimer, I can now generally hit the notes I'm meant to hit when playing Bransle l'Official, and am starting to learn to play Boateman (even though I have no interest in ever sitting out of a dance if there is dancing happening, and therefore I'm unlikely to ever play for dancers, still it strikes me as easier to start learning to play my first instrument with SCA dance music, as I *know* these tunes from years of dancing to them, though it is odd to think of them in terms of the names of the notes instead of the steps that go with them).

it turns out at least a couple of photos did upload

It turns out that my attempt to upload some photos from yesterday's hike did upload to facebook, here is one of baronsnorri on the peak. There are a couple of others (I can't tell how many others made it on line due to my dodgy internet connection timing out too often), and next time I make it to somewhere (like uni) with a real internet connection I'll upload the rest and share them here (my version of a free LJ account won't let me put photos here, but just point to them elsewhere on the web and they show up, when I'm motivated to do the html necessary for that trick).
