Dec. 15th, 2018 10:06 pmToday featured bashing my leg on a lamppost base hard enough to draw blood, having the quarter peal I'd been psyching myself up for get cancelled after the fire alarm went off earlier in the afternoon,* and the discovery that TeaLuxe in Harvard Square is going out of business, probably because Harvard is on a short-sighted** quest to buy up all of Harvard Square and then systematically remove all local character in favor of chain-store wasteland.
However, practice went well, and I went out for tea with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nineweaving, which was pretty excellent; and bought my brother lots of tea.
* We were doing an afternoon of quarter peals--just for fun/as a learning exercise. This would have been the first time I rang any serious length of Kent, though I've been pushing for it. Anyway, though, during QP #1 either the ringing stirred up enough dust to confuse the fire alarm system, or it simply went haywire. Our sexton did NOT want to risk setting the fire alarm off again if it was the dust, so the rest of the QPs got cancelled. We'll hopefully try again in January.
** And also evil, but I kindof EXPECT that from a large institution in this country
