Da Weekend
Spent much of Saturday at an SCA Crown Tournament, which was conveniently less than an hour and a half's drive from our home. Weather was lovely. We set up a musicians' gallery (inherited from Will McLean) facing the tournament field, and played three-part shawm music during and between bouts. Several people came by and thanked us for adding appropriate music to the event atmosphere, including the guy who was named Crown Prince at the end of the day. Had some logistical difficulties with the wind blowing sheet music off the stands.
After the new Prince was chosen,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shalmestere and I had planned to go immediately home, but Deonna wanted to go to dinner together, and also wanted to stay for Court. So we watched Court, finished packing the cars, and went to a Thai restaurant -- which we picked because it was two miles away, but it turned out to be quite good. Drove home, tired and dehydrated. Got home about 10 PM, walked and fed the dogs, unpacked the car, and fell down boom.
An old friend ofshalmestere's from the Chicago area was in town for a music workshop, and we agreed to meet her at the Cloisters before she flew home. She hadn't been to the Cloisters in over thirty years, so we were able to see a lot of our old favorites with new eyes. Again, the weather was lovely, and we walked around the various gardens of the Cloisters exclaiming over the useful herbs and beautiful flowers. We had brought a picnic lunch, which we ate while sitting on a stone wall in the park.
Then we drove home, made dinner, made some chocolate-chip scones, and watched a video of Saturday's UK Coronation. Still tired and dehydrated. But now it's Monday.
