Yesterday was a pretty hardworking Sunday already, and the projects developed nicely. By the end of this third day, a tower was up, a hole dug and one of the buildings started to look something like a house.
The tick panic made a headline in the breakfast table, as it turned out that one of those “nasty bugs” had actually been found in real. They do exist, be aware.
The most impressive object on the field so far is no doubt is the Error-tower which seems to project energy already by looking at it. The wooden structure is beautiful in its technicalities which make it sound and steady (steadiness tested by villagers later in the evening - no defect on the object was detected).
The kiln stove building has taken a good opening as well, Juha and Noora made the foundation hole already in the morning, all the materials seem to be gathered together, they now only have to figure out what the exact shape will be. And last night we all got to press our fingers in a greenish wet clay while making some dishes to be burnt in the stove and used in the vege restaurant. We also got some help from Mooste kids who kindly shared with us their experience in the matter.
The camera obscura is all covered with cardboard and is now the most house-like construction. Still, as the builders said, their aim is not in the looks of the box itself, rather, the beauty, and the secret of it, lies inside. A sneak peek under the cover confirms: the insides of the box do look pretty already.
John put up the first of four poles with windharps, which, left alone on the Site for the night, made a quiet singing sound. Another way of using wind power.
The rest of the projects were developing more calmly and inwardly and will show their face to the public a little later. And even if there is a slight feel of a healthy competition in the air, there is no rush, as the chicks are counted in the autumn, like we say :)
In fact, some new ideas are hatching already. While making our clay plates, we were witnessing a preparation of costumes for a Parasite Opera, the rehearsals of which are supposedly starting later today.
The day was topped up with a beauuuuutiful dinner cooked by Katariina who worked all day to feed 35 people. Dish composed from trout, all freshly caught, (s)mashed potatoes, bean soup, and a hit of a pumpkin salad which rhymed so well with the fish dish. And of course: Garlic. Lots of it. :)
The change in the nature of efforts from intellectual to physical kind also showed in the evening when everybody suddenly disappeared by about 10 p.m. off to bed. And by the next morning, the enthusiasm got someone up and sawing no later than quarter to eight... It looks like another beautiful sunny-summery-building-day. Have fun!
