Evening meal sounds good. I could try to make a few friends over dinner.

[Folwren]

Well, no, not at all. Interest for this day has not worn off in the least, so far as I am concerned. But, if everyone else wishes it, I won't holler TOO loudly.

Yeah, I could go either way myself.

Ooh! Dan has a dilemma on his hands, considering what Eodwine sent him to do.

Saeryn could stand to be featured before evening meal.

Lhuna, how would it be if Randvér's arrival were a month off? I'm hoping to skip time to early August with the next "official" Day.

I can write a post featuring Harreld's inner thoughts too.

Stigend and associates' ventures into finding wood needs a post too. Nogrod?

I'm Commiing!


Yes. It kind of frustrates to write this kind of apologies one after another but I believe this time it's for good.

I had my worst spring ever, really. Never had such amounts of work in my hands before during the late spring. It was just catastrophic.

When the vacations finally started I had my daughters with me at my place and we had the DW II which took a lot of time.

Then we went to have Midsummer Eve -celebrations which took what, four days...

After that (Monday) I have been writing a teacher's manual with my colleague to a textbook we made last year as the publisher presses on (they said the deadline should have been yesterday but we managed to push it forwards so that it is Monday-morning now).

So: exhausted, but also looking forwards to really getting a grip with this... and to start taking this on.

I hope I can read myself up to date on Monday the latest and then start really to get involved.

Sorry.

But there's the RL which sometimes intervenes annoyingly...

A month later? Will there be still any work left to be done by then? Because supposedly that's Randvér's reason for coming over: to help his friend out with getting settled. I mean, aside from the obvious of checking how Ginna's doing.

But if not, it's okay. Sure, Randvér can just arrive after the time skip.

Well, let's see here. The following may be considered a rough description of one possiblity, nothing set in stone, but it should help give a sense of how long things take.

July 9: set up paddock and cut wood and make tents for families
July 10: improve paddock and find more wood because not enough was found 7/9, and finish those family tents too much playing by boys and not enough adults around kept from getting made
July 11: start picking through the ruins, find more wood, start hauling stones, say 5 per day to keep Garstan busy shaping them
July 12-15: continue picking through ruins and dumping what is beyond use
July 16: take stock of wood and make plans how to use it; keep clearing ruins
July 17: discover stairs down to basement of ruins
July 18-24: carefully clear basement beneath ruins
July 25: start building smithy that Harreld has been altogether too patient waiting for
July 28: finish smithy
July 29: celebrate finished smithy and cleared ruins
July 30-August 8: continue to haul stones for Garstan to shape, cut and shape wood according to plans
August 9: celebrate the finishing of the stone shaping and wood preparing and set plans to build the Hall.

And guess what: I've probably rushed a few steps. So I think that August 9 will not be too far in the future.

By the way, if anyone has more knowledgable ideas in regard to the above timeline, please speak up.

Crabannan's just run into Eodwine and Company.

[Gwathagor]

I hope that the singular of "Rohirrim" is "Rohir." If not, then I just coined a word.

[shaggydog]

Eonwe, are you around? I think we had best wrap up the Dan- Oeric - Scyld scene if any sort of time leap is being contemplated. And correct me if I'm wrong Firefoot but I believe Eonwe needs to post next before you can?

[Firefoot]

Yes, though if Eonwe isn't around and able to post I may just take the liberty of putting some words in his mouth for Scyld to overhear and then we can get on with the storyline...

[Gwathagor]

Do it! Put words in his mouth!

I've posted.
