This weekend was a delightful, low key SCA event a bit south of Skellefteå. We car pooled down with a friend, so the nearly three hour drive went quickly with lots of conversation. Part of the time we spoke in Swedish, to give me more practice with it. There were somewhere between 35 and 40 of us on site, and I really enjoyed the event. We did some dancing, the musician played music often, there was a merchant selling cool stuff, there were classes (including my build your own wax tablet workshop--around eight people were playing with carving tablets, and three of them got far enough along to put wax in them on site, and the others took theirs home to finish later).
There was a tournament on Saturday, but since I haven't been in armour since my minor back injury last August, and we didn't have room in the car for armour in addition to what we did bring (including the passenger), I only watched. However, it did inspire me to want to get back into fighting again, so perhaps we will find time to get to practice at some point. I hope so.
I am very glad that I brought my fur lined hood--sitting outside watching the tourney and working on a sewing project and I was comfortable the whole time. Granted, it is spring, so the temperature was only just barely below freezing, but that is still cold enough to make one uncomfortable when holding still if not dressed warmly.
While I was doing yoga on Friday night one of the young men in the group commented that he should do that, so I gave him the second sheep skin I was using as a medieval yoga mat, and he joined me. It was delightful to have company for yoga again.
Both Saturday morning and Sunday morning I went for walks before breakfast, which was also nice--the site was out in the Swedish countryside and looked like a postcard to be sold by the Swedish tourist bureau. On Saturday both![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lord_kjar and my yoga buddy joined me for the walk, and on Sunday it was just lord_kjar and I.
The drive home went very well, and we were home by 14:00 Sunday. Our folk dance class for this weekend had been cancelled, so instead we drove out tolord_kjar's parent's house to visit with his brother, who had flew up for the weekend. However, just before we were going to leave lord_kjar suddenly
