Gardens AGLOW
We took the opportunity to attend Garden’s AGLOW as a way to “kick off” the Christmas season.
Workbench
I’ve finally started to work on making a basic workbench. This will be a temporary workbench until I can build a proper one. I’m using all recycled wood from around the house. Most of the wood is coming from the “fort” that was in the backyard when we purchased the house or from D1’s contributions from projects are her house.
Lights for Christmas
The outside lights for Christmas have been installed. This is probably the earliest I’ve done so. However, the weather was right.
Moodle
I was able to update my Moodle instance to version 4.1. This is a big improvement as my hosting service had previously been running an older SQL version which precluded me from updating.
Rm Foot
Rm had foot surgery. The surgery went well. She is recovering quickly.
Mastodon
More and more educators are joining Mastodon. It is quickly becoming a useful network to gain links, tips, and make connections. This is what I had been hoping for when I first joined Mastodon in 2017.
I’m slightly struggling with the posts about moving from Twitter to Mastodon, but I recognize that it is a necessary evil for people to make those connections. I do recognize that I could filter those out, and I’m close to doing so, but for now, I’m leaving them as a reminder that different people are at different points of the journey.
It does seem that the analogy of email, everyone can be on different servers but connect, is very useful for people.
Christmas Music
This is probably the earliest I’ve started listening to Christmas music as well. I’m intentionally trying to make sure that I enjoy the Christmas season, and music is a part of that. I’m not going crazy listening to Christmas music all the time, but occasionally, I’m tuning in to the Christmas station.
Art Walk
Rm and I did attend the Gardiner Art Walk this year. There were some interesting artists, some that we’ve seen before. We made a few purchases.
