On 19th we got a rooster from Stole. Now we'll see how will the hens like that.
On 21st visited dad, probably brought him lunch, then went off to Klincaid - (... 7 words...), and we got a willow growing right behind the main shed. Mmmm... now looking at the shed from this side, there's some water dripping down the wall. And since the wall is just pressed clay, it won't hold for long. And this shed is actually where we spend most of the time when there. And that gable looks like it's missing a few planks.
We should do something about it soon.
Picked a bag of chards and two sacks of mouse grass, for the hens.

* needs to have as many masks as there are monitors
* on each it needs to stretch a photo in maximal width, without frame. If I manage to shove the full filename centered on the bottom, nice.
* on timer to replace the photo in the next mask in order and change its rank
* while pausing it should tell the watcher to continue checking

By 23rd, tiles in the upper bedroom were finished. Well, the edge isn't, we'll see about that corner when we approach it from the other side. This will be enough for now.
I just had to do some kind of crazy autopatch with this, and it worked swimmingly. On third try. I had to play with some parameters in the app to make it go less crazy with the bottom edge. I liked the result so much, that I soon published it on suština, and it had the text „Poincare, Lobačevski and Escher walk into a bar...“.
And, BTW, it's not „esh-er“, it's „es-hrer“, Jan explained to me how to read sch in dutch.

On 25th she made a big batch of pihtije. The winter can begin.
On 26th I nicked from somewhere a routine by Doug Hennig (and he nicked some parts from Sergej Berezniker) to somehow count the monitors under windowses, from fox. Well fuck that, 187 lines, because the infinitely wise m$ decided not to have a function which would return a monitor's parameters by ordinal number, no, you got to „check which monitor displays the specified point“. If it returns nothing, then the point is not displayed anywhere, so try with another point. There's a function doing that for the first monitor, and another one returning the dimensions of the whole ikonostas, so you take the first one out of the whole, and then poke about the rest of it. Whoa... couldn't that be made simpler? Well sure, but this is m$, the one for the first monitor was written twony years ago, and for the others much later, when the writers of the former were not just out of the building, there wasn't anyone left who'd know whom to ask. So, as per their tradition and lore, write new and ignore the old. And the new, though, must not cover the whole matter, only what the old doesn't. Therefore, 187 lines. Well fuck that.
And all this becase I was adamant about fes covering both monitors.
