Yes.  It’s a real day of recognition. It was scheduled to be a tall writers group evening (all three of us can stilt), but one member is recovering from COVID.  Because stilting is definitely an event where “the more the merrier” applies, we invited a couple former members of The High Court, a group that provides stilt walkers at the local Renaissance Festival.

Jeg lærer meg å gå på stylter! Dette ble den fjerde gangen jeg har gjort det, og det blir litt lettere/mindre skremmende. Det er fortsatt litt vanskelig og veldig rart (jeg er så høy - omtrent 2.2m!) men jeg har jo forbedret. Kanskje snart blir jeg klar til å utføre på dem.
