I think I want more four day weeks :P I had Friday off because I had some flex hours I needed to use. I did absolutely nothing that I had planned, instead, I slept in, answered some emails (damn, just remembered one I needed to do!), then bummed around until the guy mum had organised to put in an automatic garage door came. I loves it :) No more getting out in the rain! Yay!

Anyways, so Friday was a complete write off. Saturday was a long day. I had a medieval event which involved eating great food (we had a medieval picnic - everyone had parcels of food - pies, pieces of fruit, cheese, fresh bikkies), watching my friends fight in the rapier tourney, watching the 'wheel of doom' tourney (heavy fighters randomly had weapons chosen by spinning a wheel ... lots of fun with spear and two handed axe vs Great shield and really small short swords). I got sun burnt though... we got rained on in the morning, I froze half the day, and blinded by the sunshine in the arvo - need to make a hood or something decent for my head that will actually stay on without giving me a headache!

Sunday we had a working bee... much rooting around in boxes and cupboards (earning us official 'bitching rights' - because we've dug through the SCA hall's crap, we can now complain when people put things away incorrectly or things are broken and manky. I think some stuff had been there since the hall's creation, even got to through away bottle of stuff with a used by date of 1999... seriously icky! But I managed to get some help with the newcomers event that I'm running in July. So there will be a heavies tournament, a rapier tournament, archery games (including like a popup shooting hall), and what ever other crazy things I can think of! Someone suggested bobbing for apples, but that would be too cold in the middle of winter. I'm also taking over the Webminster duties so that I can tidy up the barony's website :) Should be fun!

But I have been working on some medieval 'stuff'... my blackworking for the collars/ sleeves of my 16th century chemise :)
