anotheranonToday was the first of likely several trips to the local Renn faire this season, and just about a perfect one to start with.
The weather was excellent - not too cold to be comfortable or too hot to wear garb. The company was excellent:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vree, skill_grl and J., with lots of time spent at dreamtigress' booth/"treehouse".
In the past couple of years I've spent less time shopping and more time at the stages and pubs. This yearvree turned me onto The O'Danny Girls (ribald Irish Andrews Sisters) Pyrates Royale (funny folk) and The Interpreters (bawdy sing-alongs).
I did shop a little - I found a feathered hatpin for upcoming hats and considered some tankards. I steered clear of most clothing and even managed to extract myself from the bookstore without incident :P
Mostly it was a pretty day spent with good friends, music, and food on sticks :)
This was preceded by more merriment Friday at Badger's birthday party! The food was barbecue so tender it fell apart and chocolate chip cupcakes among other goodies. I got to nrrd withkiya and lady_masque. We all played a fencing version of "capture the flag", which was very fun (and my legs didn't punish me too much).
The less said about Spice's follow up vet visit, the better. The good: antibiotics are working and she's going to be fine. The bad: the logistics of getting her to and from the vet + cleanup :( An hour after getting home she's happily rolling around in the floor purring while I'm exasperated by the ordeal of trapping, transporting, bathing and cleaning up. It must be nice to have a minimal frontal cortex sometimes :P
Finished the lacing holes on the kirtle last night. The lacing tape is pre-shrinking in the wash as I type.
Have a few longer posts brewing in the back of my mind, but not now. It's 9 pm Sunday night and I am still sweaty from faire and have laundry to do, with tired eyes besides. Perhaps later when some of my thoughts "gel" a bit more.
