Today was a day where I tried to finally take care of a stack of small tasks, some of which had already been on the to-do-list for a good while, and some that had just come up quite recently. It feels nice, somehow, to do those maintenance tasks! Some of it was writing mails, some was sorting through files, some was trying to figure out new software. There's been a change in my newsletter thingie not-so-recently, and I was looking to acquaint myself with some of the features of the new version, but when it was time to send the last few newsletters... well, I didn't get around to do it. Today, I finally managed to sit down with it and we had some quality time, so to say.
Now I think I might test it with the current newsletter - and if it works well, I will switch over to the new version. Hopefully it will!
Apart from all this, there's also been some conference preparation and pre-packing prep today. I'll be off to a EuroWeb workshop on Tuesday, where I will be meeting a number of my lovely colleagues for discussions about making, wearing, and displaying textiles and the body. I will also try very hard to stay within the 15 minutes timeslot for my presentation - talking (shortly) about subtle movements in crafts, especially in relation to teaching things. It's a fascinating topic for this meeting, and I am so much looking forward to it.
My going there, however, means that you'll be treated, again, to a few days of blog silence while I am off. Starting on Monday, as that is a public holiday - I'll be back on the blog on Wednesday, May 10. I hope you'll be able to enjoy a few lovely spring days until then, too!
