We wish my mother-in-law a speedy recovery from the procedure she underwent yesterday!

===Work===

It was quite an interesting week!

First of all, we [https://8th-dev.com/forum/index.php/topic,1356.0.html made another release of ''8th''], which further distinguishes between the different versions thereof. This release has generated a lot of comment and activity on the forum, almost all of it good. So there’s that.

And I’m happy to relate that my incessant badgering of people I don’t know is starting to show results. I’m currently speaking to a few people simultaneously, trying to persuade them to work with me as a client or partner or supporter. These talks are all in the early stages, but I think I’ve finally got through to people who can make decisions and make things happen. So that’s exciting.

And in an unexpected blast of bad luck, I upgraded the software on my email server, and discovered that it had stopped delivering mail to me. Fortunately, I’m a three-legged genius and was able to quickly get things working again. I hate it when stuff like that happens, though; raises my blood-pressure dangerously high.

===Our week===

Not too much to report on this front. Esther and I had a pretty quiet week.

I did take the car in, had the front-brakes replaced, and it didn’t cost as much as I had expected it would. So that’s an unexpectedly good thing. However, living where we do — a hilly place — isn’t beneficial for brakes. It seems we have to replace them once a year or so, which seems excessive to me. Gotta talk to Leadfoot Lilly…

… who’s resumed her needling. I mean, her knitting. Now that Sarah’s moved out, I think we’ll appropriate her room for a sewing bazaar for Esther. Or, at least, as a store-room for the copious amounts of fluffy lambs-product needed for even the smallest project.

And I seem to be afflicted (once again) with [http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/tc/plantar-fasciitis-topic-overview ''plantar fasciitis''] after having been a bit too aggressive in my walking. So now I have to give my foot a chance to recover, and I’ll need to make sure I don’t try to walk any distance in my sandals (which don’t cushion the foot very much). <sigh>

Stuff and nonsense:

===The menu===

Weather was mostly pleasant, supposed to stay that way over ''shabbat''.

Just the two of us. We’ll have:

homemade ''ḥalla'',

rice,
roasted veggies,
veggie ''cholent'',

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom''!
