kareinaToday is the final verse of the song Ridom. for those of you who missed them you can see the previous two verses here for verse one and for verse two and I'll put behind a cut
verse three of Ridom:
Älvadrottningen dansar över sanden.
Rid, ja rid om livet är dig kärt.
Fly den fagra älvadrottning handen,
ryttarns själ till fånge hon begärt.
Bästa häst jag offra vill
om jag hinner fram till kida gill.
Bästa häst jag offra vill
om jag hinner fram till kida gill.
which roughly means:
The Elf-Queen dances over the sand
Ride, yes ride if you hold your life dear
escape the beautiful elf-queen's hand
rider's soul as capture she demands
the best horse I will sacrifice
if I will be able to reach/arrive to Kilda Gill
the best horse I will sacrifice
if I will be able to reach/arrive to Kilda Gill.
this song bring my vocabulary to 128 words learned from four songs (three one verse each, one three verses long). It has been only six days since starting this project, but I am enjoying it.
In other news I did, in fact manage to polish the latest experiment today and get it turned in for carbon coating so that it can be analyzed on the microprobe next week. However, I worry about one of them--when I first polished it open it revealed a large void space in the middle. I think I've managed to polish past it to sample, but it is very hard to tell before it is in the microprobe. didn't accomplish a whole lot else with work today, so tomorrow had better be better.
I also did a bit of furniture re-arranging today. When my mother was here she complained about how low the little tiny fridge I have was, so I moved things around to have it sitting atop the wooden box/ice chest I use for SCA camping events (of which there are none in Italy, so it was just taking up space). I admit that I wouldn't have thought to do it without mom's comment, but I have liked having it up there--much easier to access when I don't have to bend or kneel to see what is inside. However, it is time to be packing my things, and I like putting my breakable kitchen stuff into the wooden boxes for shipping to increase the odds of their surviving the journey. Therefore I have brought the fridge back down to floor-level in preparation of packing that box. Such tiny steps I've been taking towards moving, but as the calender ticks every closer to January the pace of the packing will increase...
