Owls’ Court

Autumn Hiscock records her daily minutiae for posterity, featuring cello, handspinning, family, and writing.

Ta-Da!


Victory!

As you can see, the images are back on the Owlyblog. Owldaughter is back up and running!

So the site was only down for ten days in total. Irritating, but it was all worked out. My old host graciously transferred the domain over without charge as an apology for the misunderstanding (which surprised me simply because I’m so used to corps not caring).

Now I just need to finish straightening out my email.

Update: And… done! All Owldaughter email addresses are operative! Of course, if you sent anything to one in the past ten days, it was lost…


Chamber Orchestra — Season Three, Round Three


I just lost a longish decent post and I’m in no mood to recreate it. So, the salient points:

We’re playing a bunch of neat stuff. One symphony, many shorter pieces. Most actual chamber pieces, some with vocal accompaniment from a Hudson music group. Good rehearsal, everyone bright and bushy-tailed.

There. It hardly conveys how terrific an evening it was.


Spring, Spring, Spring


We have a hyacinth that has grown from a little green sprout into a huge, glorious, forget-me-not-coloured blue flower. I got up this morning, and the entire apartment smelled like spring.

That coupled with the nice hot rosemary tea I have on my desk makes for quite an enjoyable morning.


Pointy Hats!


Yes, you know you’ve always wanted one. Now you can make your very own felted pointy hat! Simply visit the Pointy Hat Page page for full text and illustrate dinstructions. Go on — be the most fashionable witch on the block!


Hold the Presses


Before you update your links:

I might not have to change the domain name after all. My previous web host appear apologetic for their screw-up and have offered to transfer my Owldaughter.org domain to me and waive the $190 USD fee usually involved as a result of this sort of situation.

Stay tuned.
