kareina This morning I started my day with an hour of yoga, followed by breakfast and snow shovelling. The snow is fluffy and easy to move. However, it is not at all suited to filling in the low spots where tire tracks in the mud froze because I didn’t have the energy to go change into boots and trample the tracks flat on the last warm day before it froze again. I regret this decision.
After lunch Keldor and I walked over to the gas station (also the local post office) to get a package that was delivered there. The first person I saw when I entered was Anna, an SCA friend from Luleå. It turns out that she had been on her way home, and got as far as where the road is closed due to a serious bus accident, just north of here, and they decided to turn back and use the loo at the gas station while they waited for the road to reopen.
So, of course, we invited them over for ficka. As luck would have it, we still had some of the Gluten-free vegan smjulpaj from when Hjalmar visited, so Anna could eat it. I love spur of the moment guests, and it is even better when we have appropriate snacks on hand.
After they left I resumed work on Silk bliaut short tunic until it was time for my zoom meeting with katerit, who gave me helpful feedback on the story I have written for hrj ’s Call for Submissions: 2026 Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast Fiction Series. It was really good to see her, it has been far, far too long, and the feedback was very useful. I may not have accomplished everything she suggested, but the story was much improved by the time I was happy with it, and sent it in. Heather may or may not like my contribution, but I know that she will be pleased that she is getting still more submissions already the first week, so that is a little thing I did to try to brighten the world today.
