Day 6:
Having a terrible headache, vomitish as well. Reflection in water was pale, so I'm definitely sick. Might have been those wildberries I picked earlier, or I'm pregnant. Again. But the beans I planted a couple of days ago have germinated, and I have set up an enclosure around it to prevent caterpillars from intruding. Which brings the question: just how do green beans reproduce!? The sprouts usually don't even reach over a few inches in height! Will observe to see if this is only apparent in elementary school Science projects.
Due to pure insolence of the village elders, the archery competition has been postponed for seven days. What a disappointment, actually looked forward to it the entire week.
Built a mini-dam over a small stream, barely two feet wide and one foot deep. Its so much easier than building a well, for goodness sake. Weather's been fine; dark clouds looming overhead all day, violent winds and chilling temperatures, but not a sign of rain. 'Tis a good thing; my clay's still drying.
