Staying home

[frualeydis]

I decided that I'm still not well enough to take Maja with me and go to Fredrikshamns Skansdagar (link in swedish only, it's a 17th century thing with military re-enactment, 17th century horsemanship, dancing and crafts). I could do it, but it would use up all my energy and I just can't afford that during this intense period at work.
So Maja and I are watching Grease and I will sew some.

Sewing and watching Grease is basically what we did too at the skansdagar.
Well, maybe not Grease, but it was about as rewarding. ;)
Coolest things (IMHO) was a woman riding baroque riding (literal translation) in a woman's saddle and a dance troupe from Linköping who really had done a lot of research which they presented alongside their performance.
Other then that there were manly men and a lot of confusion. And sun and smoke.

This is Malin btw. I'm pondering remaking my old rarely used blog into an architecture blog. :)

But I spent part of the day at an open day showing off leatherworks, then at home I started to learn a new song:

Johnny's Gone for a Soldier


Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill
Who can blame me, cryin' my fill
And ev'ry tear would turn a mill,
Johnny has gone for a soldier.

Me, oh my, I loved him so,
Broke my heart to see him go,
And only time will heal my woe,
Johnny has gone for a soldier.

I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel,
Likewise I'll sell my spinning wheel,
And buy my love a sword of steel,
Johnny has gone for a soldier.

I'll dye my dress, I'll dye it red,
And through the streets I'll beg for bread,
For the lad that I love from me has fled,
Johnny has gone for a soldier.

Lovely song.
I got some work done on my Uvdal gown and bought fruit for 100 SEK so I guess my day was spent quite well too. Are you coming to Mårten btw?

Sa jeg skulle fortelle deg når det var åpnet for påmelding. Og nå er det åpnet. Jeg har meldt meg på alt.

Get well soon. Time with Maja, Grease and sewing sound like a good alternative to further exhaustion.

OT but I just love love love your new layout.

Thank you, I found it among the "standard" ones.
