Weekend update
Sep. 16th, 2007 09:08 pmFriday night - stayed home and got ready for Crossroads. This meant packing, selecting dyes and mordants for a small demo, watching the weather report, and then watching a *stunning* Doctor Who episode, Blink.
Got up early on Saturday, got to site in the rain, dumped my stuff in Una's tent, and then proceeded to wander, eat, chat, demonstrate, and freeze. Seriously - the weather was gorgeous in the afternoon, but SO COLD! I wore my quilted tunic and was glad, because otherwise I would have gotten seriously ill.
Court was fun, and moving (one of the items was a marriage proposal!). Una and I skipped the feast and ate in our tent, then went wandering. She went to bed early, but I ended up chatting with Harald,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hugh_mannity, and Master Christian until very late. I also got to listen to the poetry exhibition, which was splendid, and generally had fun.
Then it was time for bed...and OMG. I don't think I have EVER been so cold in my life. It got down into the 30's, and despite a double thick quilt, a Hudson Bay blanket, and my cloak over my head, I basically shivered all night. I *think* I got about two hours of sleep, and was able to drive home solely because Una gave me a Coke. No way I am ever camping after Labor Day again. Too cold at night, whether it's warm during the day or not.
Una and I rendezvoused at her place, where her mother, bless her, plied us with food and drink, and let us watch another Doctor Who episode, Tooth and Claw,, which has a werewolf that makes the skinned, hairless Chihuahua in the third Harry Potter movie look even dumber than it did on screen. The food revived me enough to drive home, and after a nap, I sort of staggered into the bathroom and finally got cleaned up.
Still tired, but reasonably content. Good weekend all in all.
