Notes: 

Spinning practice in multiple, short sessions.  Started with One-Foot-Wrestling balance game and then realized a rock under foot allows for spinning on rough concrete.  Practiced this (R focus) while waiting for bus.  On subsequent walk, found curved, metal chip of pavement marker that worked perfectly without unduly scratching concrete.  Practiced 1, 1.5, and 2-turn spins while waiting for friends.  At guest house after dinner, practiced R1, L1, R1, L1, R1.5 spins across kitchen.  Seems to be helping!

Notes: 

Radiddlepa "Scales" section.  First three single-accent possibilities, then whole section repeatedly, both slow, normal, and fast speeds.  Jumped to end and had fun playing complicated tricks section slowly and at tempo.  Trying to clean up the techniques.
