Not only was it a temporal weekend, I also wound up acting like it was a weekend, in that I did no uni work whatsoever. (well, I did read my 1000 words a day, but that doesn't really count) On Friday clovis_t and I went into town, where we met up with mushroom_maiden. She and I abandoned him in town and came out here, where I introduced her to my hammer dulcimer and then she wrote down the two-note sequence of cords I could play while she played a song she knows on the guitar (she'd brought one with her). This is my first experiance at "making music" with someone, and I very much enjoyed it. It is so easy to do this sort of thing (but would sound silly, I think, without the other musician supplying more than what I was doing). She stayed the night, and we girls talked till late--it was fun, it has been ages since I've had a slumber party.

On Saturday morning I took her home and picked up clovis_t and we stopped by a store on our way home to obtain supplies. We then spent the rest of the day cleaning up the kitchen and making food for his party that night. The occasion is a good one--he picked up the final, bound, version of his Honour's Thesis _The Development of Military Technologies in World War Two Britain_. We had four car-fulls of people turn up for the party, including one friend of his from school who has been working in the US for a few years. Not a bad turn out, considering that the only form the invitations took was setting up an "event" on Facebook and having that notify some of his friends.

One of the most amusing bits of the party was deciding that mushroom_maiden, who had come back out for the party, and I really have so much in common that we must be reincarnations of one another. We aren't exactly the same--there are differences accountable by the fact that, this time, we've lived different lives and have been shaped by different experiences. Time, not being linear, it doesn't matter that we happen to be alive at the same time--indeed, we figure that we lived her life first, then sometime later lived mine, which makes her older, never mind that in this life she is less than half my age. ;-)

This morning I'd planned on heading in with him to fighter practice because one of the local knights had been going to do a training session for beginning level fighters, no armour required. My thought was do that class, then head to uni and do some work there while clovis_t enjoyed the rest of practice, then he could get a ride to uni and we could head home from there. However, A) the class didn't happen after all and B) one of our friends was stressed about uni work, so I hung out with her for a bit and stitched, and then he and I left earlier than he normally does, we stopped by uni so I could put some files on the department shared drive for my advisor--hey, wait--that counts as uni work. I did do something--took about two minutes, but it is something. Then we came home, where I twiddled my thumbs, checked e-mail and caught up on LJ (for the first time this weekend), played a game with clovis_t and then did some more e-mail.

It is now midnight, and my weekend off is over. Time to do yoga, get some sleep, and in the morning do some serious uni work. Now that all of the figures for chapter three are on the uni hard drive I need to double check to be certain I'm done with the text for that chapter, and get a copy of it to my advisor and point out where he will find the figures. Then I can go onto the next task towards finishing that thesis I've neglected all weekend.
