frualeydisIt didn't start particularly good, but it turned out to be one of the most fun events I've been to in years.
The pain in my stomach didn't go away so on Friday morning I actually went to the ER. After X-rays were made they found out that it "only" was a really bad constipation, but they still thought it was a good thing that I came in, given the fact that I so recently had surgery in my stomach.
I got home again around 3 pm and started packing for us to go to the event. I had then not slept anything since Thursday morning, but kept going on sheer will power.
My friend Amanda picked up me and Rickard in her car. When we reached the event, c 40 minutes drive from Gothenburg, we ofund that one piece of the lid that covers the big air hole on our inflatable mattress was missing. After a few unsuccesful attempts to McGyver it, Rickard took the car back home and gor our foam rubber mattress. This was actually much better for my body - the only reason we hadn't taken that mattress was that Amanda's car is really small. We did manage to get all our stuff into the car on the way home anyway, but it was a squeeze.
Anyway, despite not having slept I managed both to hold the Annual General Meeting of Gotvik, and become the chair of the group,and to be up drinking white wine mixed with bubbly water until 2 am.
On Saturday I tried my bow for the first time. I didn't compete in the challenge though, but went inside and hung out with friends. It was nice not having anything to do on the event after cooking feast two events in a row.
Court was a little too long, but still nice. And Rickard got a local award, with a very beautiful scroll. I had made two scrolls too, and the recipients liked them.
Feast was good, though not spectacular in any way, and I had very good company at the table. After feast I stayed up to 4 am - drinking and chatting! I don't know how this older version of myself has come back :)
This was the first event since I got my coronet, so we took photos of me in garb with it on.
A few more photos here.
