alt_sinistraIn New London for the afternoon, a combination of errands and catching up with two of my sisters. It is amazing how quickly things fall into place after just a week or two back at school, really - I’ve been working tidily through my list and plans, and it’s so satisfying to see things checked off.
The weather, alas, not so much - we’ve had some glorious stargazing weather the last week, but I’m afraid it’s the last gasps before the far more uncertain days of the fall and winter.
Temp - thanks again for rounding more of those up. And for the other set of used-book searching, too. Gilly - no worries that you had to cancel, I found other company, but next week? Could do lunch at one.

Date: 2012-09-19 03:11 am (UTC)On the specifics - had you not heard? Though I suppose you might not. I had hoped to start a series of exercise sessions for our YPL students, lead by our CCF corps (Rolanda's graciously agreed to provide adult supervision when necessary.) Some running, some calisthenics, some flying work.
I do not believe it too extreme - more along the lines of the work the CCF corps were doing this summer, intended to keep them in the best possible fitness. Three times a week, I thought. More would be better, but I am aware of the complaints about the schedule in general, and we could always ease into that later.
It does look like afternoons may be the best choice, but I will think on it a little longer. Not being young myself, I should also take myself to bed, I think. It is a busy morning for me, and I am sure for you both.
Aurora, do let me know if you have additional comments, when you get a chance.

Date: 2012-09-19 01:17 pm (UTC)I'm so glad you could be of help, Poppy - I knew that my faint memories of what you'd told me about sleep cycles had a much more solid form somewhere.
Dolores, I apologise for the delay - I was in New London and then otherwise occupied last night, and by the time I caught up, Poppy had clearly already been far more use than I was going to manage. I do continue to think late afternoon is your best choice, but if you've more interviews today or tomorrow, I'm sure the students would be glad to share their thoughts as well.
I did stop by the WEA office yesterday to drop off a book for Helena, and I understood from a passing reference that some of the YPL files were still giving your staff trouble? Entirely my fault, I'm sure - Felix and I did settle into some patterns I'm sure are obscure to others. My time's largely committed through this week, but I'd be glad to spare an hour or so this weekend to help, if you'd like.
