Julafton

[kareina]

Started my day with att 30 minute HIT session, and then finished the dragon for the right sleeve of [[Keldor copper trim tunic]]. Then sewed it to the Bright plum silk so the sleeve can be wrapped as a present.

 

Made a really yummy steamed mixed veg with a spicy peanut sauce that I brought along to Pernill's. Pernilla liked it. Keldor contributed Prinskorv (which I didn't eat), and Pernilla provided meatballs, ham, fish, and a couple of store bought creamy salad things containing vinegar in the sauce (none of which I tasted) and bread, butter, potatoes and a salad (all of which I enjoyed)

 

 We enjoyed  dinner with Pernilla and Tobias. After dinner Tobias. went to his room after eating and didn't join us for watching the rest of this year's Julkalender, nor for games after. We gave them some hugh quality chocolate, and she gave us som nice braided bands.

 

Keldor got a gift from work that he enjoyed, a game about Skellefteå. There are cards in various categories, each of which describes something that happend in Skellefteå. These are read aloud to the person whose turn it is,and they have to decide where on their timeline that happened. After they assign it to its place the actual year is revealed.  If they got it right the card joins their timeline, and they can decide to end their turn and keep the cards they have already accumulated, or roll again for a new card from a new catagory. If they got it wrong, they loose all cards from their current turn.

 

Keldor and Pernilla both grew up here, they have known one another since they were little. So they could consult their own memory for all of the things that happened in their life times. I had to guess for everything. So I always stopped after guessing right for the second card.

 

Keldor let his piles get up to four or five cards before locking them in, so it only took him three turns to win (one needs only 10 cards for victory,  but after the first person achieves 10 everyoneelse gets one more turn as a chance to beat that). Pernilla had the bad luck to guess wrong several times early in her turns, so she and I wound up tied for second place, even though I am so new to the region.

 

Then we played Catan. I have had a small trvel version since I lived in Australia, but Keldor decided that he wants a full sized set, as then it will be possible to add expansion sets.

 

As usual, I forgot to take photos, but Pernilla shared some, so I put them here, too, not that they are visible on Dreamwidth, yet
