the bits. Moving along with that walled city - filling it in, transferring more crops from elsewhere to the newer gardens I'm making. It is flowing pretty well - although I had to put names on signs on every house to remember where I was keeping certain things.
I have been working on the French-to-Spanish on one Duolingo account and the Spanish-to-French on the other. And work is hopping and rolling along, getting things done - they are opening a new production line and it has been a good while coming getting things done one by one for it - my part is just ordering certain things and calling certain companies to come do tasks - the maintenance people are doing everything they can that we don't need to call other companies for. Hopefully it will be up and running in a few weeks - and then I have LOTS of paperwork to rewrite and reprint and redo my spreadsheets to accommodate the new daily information.
I like the little stone square houses - they are a different style. One house has a second story room inside, but most of the rest are single rooms with a chest and a furnace. I'm trying not to do the same thing all over the place - and use what I pull out of the ground most recently while I was digging out stone for furnaces and the roads and the wall etc... I went to the other towns and picked up barley and onions, strawberries, green beans and peapods and cucumbers etc etc... I should go back and get pineapples and wild onions sometime soon.
There is a little 'market' area in the corner there at the bottom with four extra chests in it, and a park beside it with a cherry tree, a bench and whatever flowers I had picked around there and didn't use as dye stuffs. I planted blueberry bushes in a lot of places from the town next door. That bare area on the left outside the little door should probably be a dock, but I need to work more on the other side as well where I did make a dock to go to the jungle island across the way. The lagoon to the other side is contained with nowhere to go from there, so it doesn't need much - but maybe a few small houses could be outside the wall there on the beach.
Was out in my real garden planting a few things today, mustards, and mizuna (Japanese mustard) and cucumbers and morning glories etc etc... I watered the carrots and saw that the arugula and kale are starting to come up. I watered the strawberries, which are blooming. It is almost as hot as summer out there - but that does mean storms.
And I did some cleaning, not much - organizing a few things and cleaning a few things. And I told Mark that I must be quite old now because it is an unusual paid day off and I just want to plant a few things, clean a few things, cook an egg and wash my laundry. He found a turkey in the freezer we put in there a few months ago and is thawing it for Easter dinner. We also have been watching Red Dwarf reruns again - it has been years since I first showed him those. The other day I saw a meme and asked him if we still had that - and he found it.
Esme is off of school today as well, and playing a game. Mark bought Red Dead Redemption? some cowboy old West game and we both tried out the controls on it. I would just so much rather play Minecraft. Esme did better than either of us at the story mode though, mostly because the controls are intuitive to her, but then she couldn't read the cursive script that is in the game and we had to translate. I played a little more once Mark had unlocked it to more of a Skyrim type experience - but still my instincts immediately went to more Stardew Valley I want to build a house and a farm and go fishing and put up food for the winter, instead of travel around and gunsling, sell furs and game and avoid being robbed. Mark says that could be available with some mods he saw. These are reasons I really do like the Minecraft (or Luanti Minetest, which this is on Linux), it matches those instincts and there isn't any stress or pressure to do story quests.
