Yesterday I...
a) wrote column 63
b) went into the city to teach my current Torah reading student
c) worked with Sofrut I
d) went swimming
Regarding a), that means the Torah is 15% done.
Regarding b), I observe that when I teach adult women, they have a tremendous lack of self-confidence, which has an extremely marked effect on what they do. If they believe they can do it - it sounds fine. If they give up halfway through, it immediately sounds distinctly less good. A funny thing.
Regarding c), Sofrut I is working through Mishnat Soferim now - the Mishnah Berurah's version of how the letters ought to be formed. As we go, we're noting how MB differs from Keset about these things. Sofrut I also involves pizza and, this week, cake, which is super :)
Regarding d), splosh!
Today I am attempting to write column 64, but have had a Bad Quill morning. I think that Really Bad Quill days are a direct consequence of Blunt Knife days, but sometimes a knife doesn't feel very blunt so one doesn't notice, and just puts it down to poor cutting. So I took a break. The break is now over. Toodle-pip.
