May. 7th, 2023 02:31 amThe weather finally got nice, and oh please oh please stay like this a bit, it would be _so good_ for my brain to be able to actually hang out outside for a while!
The morning started with me and Austin being lazy and happy in bed together, all snuggly and whatnot. Eventually we had to get to bells, so up and shower and breakfast and brush teeth and go go go. Not that zoomy, we just took the T instead of biking. A pleasant walk outdoors!
I was able to wear a sundress for the first time in An Age, which is a deffo good thing. And the green line continues to be _amazing_ for getting to bells --yes, we were late (about 11:40), but we also left at like...11. There's no way that would've worked out for us in the pre-GLX times.
Bells was incredibly weird, because for the first time in like...my entire tenure as tower captain, I was the baby of the band again. Ten people, all of whom could ring surprise major? And I was probably the only one who could only ring one surprise major method inside?? Yes please!
We rang a full course of CambMajor (I did _okay_ --need to get better at remembering the coursing-order) and a plain course of yet-unnamed-method (I did _great_ and actually was able to separate the place bells better than usual, especially finding a new way to think about the back work) and Dixons Bob minor (I did poorly but possibly held together longer than I have in the past?) and a couple nice minor methods. It was fun being baby again and getting to do stuff to stretch myself! Should've insisted on the Beverly instead of Cambminor though, just because I find them both pleasant but Beverly's more a challenge for the rest of the band.
After was a fairly abbreviated lunch, since most of the ringers were rushing off to a quarterpeal attempt at the other church. I got to have a wee bit of lazy conversation with Ricky, including some fanfic recs. I headed to Advent after everyone else (nice walking in the sunshine through the city) and was able to set up on the steps of a brownstone across the street from the church with my grading and listen to the qp. It's weird listening to _that much ringing_ from the outside --I kept expecting it to come round and being surprised when it didn't.
The QP went (yay!) and I was able to join folks for ice cream after. More good conversation (including "what's the difference between a theft and a heist") and then finally all off to home, whereupon I did nothing but play video games for manymany hours. Delightful!
And now I sleep! Goodnight!
