kareinaI wound up staying up till 03:00 last night making plans for a trip to Trondheim in the next few weeks and looking for couch surfing hosts. Therefore I turned off my dawnlight when I went to bed, figuring that it would be wise to sleep in. I did, however wake on my own around 09:15 or so, and was lying in bed, contemplating getting up and doing a workout, when I saw someone pushing a bike across the driveway, and remembered that my apprentice had been planning on coming over to resume work on her master's thesis now that her health is better. So I got up and got dressed and we chatted and caught up for a bit while I had breakfast, then we both settled into our computers to work. It was lovey to have company while working, and nice to have someone to eat lunch with.
Just after we finished eating lunch David and Caroline came over, so we visited with them briefly before returning to work. She reached a natural breaking point in her work around the same time that Caroline and David wanted ficka, and I was feeling hungry, so I took a break and sat down and ate some more with them, but Evelina decided that it was a good time to head home, so she did. Then I looked at the clock, realized that it was nearly 16:00, and decided to eat a bit more, and then got ready to bike to Phire practice.
Given the time of day I opted to try the bike path that goes from my place through Björsbyn and then turns south to the Uni, as that would have the sun at my back for most of the trip. However, I think it would have been faster to take the bikepath that runs along Haperandavägen, since that one is totally clear of snow and ice, but the one I took has a number of areas that are covered with a rather slushy ice that makes it hard to keep pedaling. Indeed, I had to get off twice to push it was so bad. This meant that biking both ways was nearly half an hour, and I enjoyed more than an hour and a half of acroyoga at practice.
The delightful young man (with the pretty, thick, hair that reaches his hips when it is braided) that I met at Cajsa's farewell party a couple of weeks ago was finally able to meet me to try acroyoga. He enjoyed it enough that we will meet again during lunch on Monday (he thought it might be wise to recover over the weekend).
After practice I picked up a few groceries on the way home, and accomplished a couple more hours of uni work before packing everything I want to take with me to the SCA event in the morning (which is just an afternoon workshop on calligraphy and illumination, followed by a banquette and a court, since the teacher of the workshop is also the Princess). Unlike typical events in this area, this is only Saturday, we don't have the site on Friday night nor on Sunday morning. I haven't been to a one-day event since moving to Drachenwald!
Now to do my yoga and get to bed so that I am awake on time to pick up the students who are riding with me.
