Bonus farm news: Tasted our Brussels sprouts for the first time. Delicious!

How was your writing day? I wrote about 150 words on the epilogue of my longfic, and since my writing the last few months has not been very productive and today was a busy day, I am happy with that. More tomorrow, hopefully.

Bonus farm news: I harvested my experimental oca plant yesterday. The yield was very small, and I had expected no better, as they really need a longer growing season. Perhaps next year we'll try it as one of the experimental ground crops under the high-growing tomatoes in our new polytunnel.

In December I am hosting Write Every Day. Welcome, everyone! ( More about this if you're new to WED )

Do you have any goals for the month? Mine is to finally finish my current longfic. On Day 1, I posted the next-to-last chapter of it. All done except for the epilogue! \o/ Did you do any writing today?

Bonus farming news: if ducks eat acorns, the yolks of their eggs will be greenish! I can't taste any difference, though.

I did not learn it in school. When I check the current PE curriculum, it sure looks like it's included. So either 1) it was not in the curriculum when I was in school, or 2) it was in the curriculum but my teacher did not cover it, or 3) they covered it but I did not learn it. I've known for a long time that you should not lift by bending your back and done my best to avoid this, but I only learned now that this is not all there is to it! You should not lift with your knees. You should lift by keeping your back and stomach braced and your spine straight (but hinged forward) and lift mainly with your butt (your knees can also bend if they need to, but the main bending should be at your hips). I am practicing it now, but it takes time to ingrain something like that.

I also did not learn, and am only beginning to learn now at the age of 47, the proper position/technique for doing common workout things like pushups, squats, etc. *facepalm* How can you go so long without learning such things, and without realizing that there is indeed a hole in your knowledge??
