Tinker Tuesday for April 8, 2025

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

No, please keep it up, it reminds me of there being some things I wanted to do. An identity apart from my daily troubles. I dread the day you refuse.

Pretty much a continuation of last week. I concluded five days of taking care of literally everything and my wife then insisted that, now that I had proven that the kid can indeed go to kindergarten if only there is a will, she would take over that responsibility again. So far, at least with her mother's aid, she's been doing it. I'm not sure that's remotely enough for me at this point, but I appreciate the effort. On Sunday I went to a HEMA tournament and came home with a busted knee and a bruised shoulder, but it was fun. This week I spent some hours visiting a potential new kindergarten close to work, and the little one seemed to like it (though by now she likes her old one, too), but they pretty much told us they had no spots left. Apart from that I had to put extra hours into work, went to an office party, aaand...yeah, all blogpost, no tinkering. I apologize for this waste of thread-space.

Would be interested to hear more about the HEMA - I want to take it up myself.

How long ago did you get started? What do you practice? Any tips/advice?
