progress in more directions than I had anticipated

I knew that Keldor was keen to work on house projects this weekend, but I hadn’t realised he was thinking of the not only Create an attic bedroom, but even the downstairs part of Create extra bathrooms as well as the attic part,

 

I started my morning with a 25 min pilates session, by which time Keldor was awake, so we played Qwirkle over breakfast then went to the attic, where he resumed putting up insulation in what will be the bedroom, and I began painting the next set of decorative knotwork on the walls

When he ran out of the metal framing pieces he has been using to hold the insulation in place he went into town to make more, and I kept painting:

When he came back he had not only what he needed for the attic, but even frames exactly the right size to hild insulation to make a wall between the downstairs laundry room and loo.

 In the evening Þórólfr came over for board games. We played Albion Protects Royalty (the Drachenwald version of Cards Against Humanity), using Sven of Reengarda, the toy Sjören, as the 4th player, putting in random cards. The final scores were 28 (Þórólfr), 11 (me), 10 (Sven), and 8 (Keldor).
 

Then Keldor and Þórólfr played Bradw, a complicated Swedish medieval version of backgammon. During that game I finished the embroidery on the fourth dragon for the Keldor copper trim kaftan

Then we introduced Þórólfr to Qwirkle, and he won the second game.

 

After that game I cut a piece of heavy leather to test my calculations for my Charlemange’s camera circlet, and I determined that while it will work as planned to hold the camera, cutting all the pannels by hand in that thickness will take far too long.

 

So I sent an note to a friend in Luleå to ask if there was a possibility to get the pieces cut in their laser cutter and we could pick it up next weekend when we are there. Alternatively, I could do it in painted cardboard, but a leather version would last longer.

 

By then it was midnight, so Þórólfr went home, I did my yoga, and we went to bed.
