First SCA event since 12th Night
Oct. 11th, 2020 09:44 pmThis weekend was the event "The Tailor's Story, or, There Will be Cheese". It was so much fun!
It didn't have many things I normal associate with SCA events (like lots of hugs/cuddles, singing and dancing), because we were attempting to respect social distance, despite the fact that about 40 of us were gathered in one place. But it was still wonderful to be there, and had a number of highlights for me. ( the summary thereof went to five pages! )
I should have resumed the Norrskensfesten workshop correspondence (that I interrupted Friday when I left for the event and never resumed because busy/no phone) at that point, but instead just caught up on reading FB till it was time to head to Swedish folk dance this evening (I did ask our dance teacher if she wanted me to stay home, given that I had just spent the weekend with 40 people, and she said it was ok with her if I came, so I did, because, dance!). There were only three of us dancing this week, and we worked on Slunga I tre takt, Gammal venster från Oviken, Mellparing, and Senpolska från Gimgalen, which are some rather challenging, but fun, variants on Swedish Polska dances.
Now I should do today’s yoga and get to bed—I have rather a lot on tomorrow’s calendar.
