It's raining cats and dogs. I should probably be grateful for the lovely days we've had recently, and accept the rain. But my arthritis gets mucgh worse when it's raining and I also have to go outside later, to get to the annual book fair, where I am part of a panel discussion on clothing, gender and class.
I was at the book fair yesterday too and bought some old Swedish films (30s-40s) on DVD and a new Swedish fantasy book that I am looking forward to reading. I also had some beer and wine with my friend Caroline and some peopel that she knows. That was ncie, but then I got so tired that I went home around nine, when they went on to other publishers' parties.
Probably a good idea, since I have to to do a lot of things before my own appearance at the book fair today; like comment on peoples' papers in the pedagogical development course I am taking (because I have to). I also need to finish packing for the SCA event that I am going to this evening. It's called "Boar Hunt" and is an archery event so I really hope it doesn't rain tomorrow. Or at least not too much. I have actually not used my bow that I got as a 50 years' present from my family. Partly because I haven't made arrows yet, partly because of my surgery last autumn. For this weekend I will borrow Rickard's arrows and I will also make an appointment with a guy to make my own.
Well, if it rains too much I can always socialize and work on my event embroidery (= the embroidery that gets brought along on events and when I'm flying, but that I never work on at other times)
