årsmöte

[kareina]

 e slept at Keldor’s dad’s after yesterday’s game night. I woke early, caught up my log for yesterday, and went right back to sleep, sleeping in another at least a half an hour after Keldor got up and went to have a cup of tea with his dad.

 

Once I was up and dressed we went into town, and joined the rest of the Shire for the annual meeting of Reengarda, Skellefteå’s Medieval Society. I agreed to keep the office of treasurer another year, Þórólfr took over as Seneschal, Keldor agreed to be one of the extra “styrelsen” (the steering group). After the meeting we enjoyed “Semmelkladdkaka” (I have no idea if this was the recipe that Åsa used, but it is an English version, and I think most of my readers would rather read an English version) and cheese and crackers. The Semmelkladdkaka was really good. A much sweeter snack than I normally go for, but almond and cardamon plus whipped cream are my friend (note: Åsa’s version had real whipped cream with no sugar, and so was much better than the suggestion in the linked recipe) and we chatted about upcoming SCA events and demos, and came up with what I think is a brilliant recruiting idea:

 

At our Medieval Days event this summer, during the fighting demo ask the crowd who wants to try, and choose two of them at random to put on armour already that day, by going through the crowd with paper to everyone who raised their hands saying they want to try, get their name and contact details on a paper, drop the paper in a hat, and, with drum-roll, draw the lucky two to try it, and help them into loaner armour while the fighting demo continues. After the event we email or sms all of them with invites to our fighter practice.

 

On the way home from the meeting we did some grocery shopping, and I got home with enough energy to put everything away and make the salad right away, so my lunch to take to work tomorrow is already packed and ready to go.

 

After we had eaten and the kitchen was clean we went up stairs, gathered the various tools that are still there from our project in progress to Create an attic bedroom and took them downstairs so that when the contractor comes on Wednesday to start the Create extra bathrooms project there will be no confusion as to whose tools are whose, as there will only be theirs up there. After clearing away the tools, we also cleaned away the last of the things that were being stored in and near where the bathroom will go, so the space is completely ready for work.

 

I am so looking forward to this!
