My HEMA group will be starting up a new beginner class later this month. If you’re local and interested, come see what we do! Ask me here, if you have any questions.

Jackie fixed cornbread yesterday, and today we had some for desert. She put apricot preserves on hers, while I put honey on mine.
Turns out, apricot preserves are loaded with added sugars, whereas honey has no added sugars at all! So my desert was obviously much healthier than hers.

My ambition has long been to be a young man of independent means. I achieved the “independent means” part some years ago, but I don’t seem to be making much progress toward being a young man.
Still working on it!

No photo, so not so interesting for you, but at the end of our walk, just before crossing our little creek toward home, Ashley and I saw a red fox! It ran off as soon as it saw us, which is too bad—I’m sure Ashley would have enjoyed a good tussle with another canid. 🦊🐶

Not many people out-and-about before dawn on a foggy Christmas Eve.

Solstice feast: Roast beast with Yorkshire pudding, served au jus, with horseradish sauce, green beans (me) and Brussels sprouts (Jackie). Her desert was more Yorkshire pudding with honey, while I ate some of my ginger sparkle cookies left from Zamenhof Day.

Things outside the window that need barking at, in priority order, according to Ashley 🐕 #dogsofmastodon:
- Dogs
- Squirrels
- Small children, especially if running, especially if closer than the sidewalk
- Strangers, especially if pausing
- Anyone wearing a hood or hat
- Anyone carrying a box or bag, especially if carrying it awkwardly.
