RUM and friends...
We have arrived safely home from the Royal University of the Midrealm. It was a highly entertaining weekend, though not terribly restful. I managed not to kill John, nor he, me. Something of a major accomplishment, all things considered.
Many entertaining classes. Missed some that I wanted to take, though mine was made more interesting by the attendance of Mistress Helewyse - who is always worth having in the front row. It's a combination of Statler and Waldorf with a healthy mix of information. Keeps me on my toes, adds useful things, and makes me a HELL of a lot less boring to listen to. Plus, I sort of got mobbed for my starters. I brought three - a sourdough, a desem, and an ale barm starter. This was apparently a popular addition to the lecture. ;-)
John's class went OK, considering it was new material for him. He had HisRH in attendance, and later commented that he now knows how to determine when HRH is getting bored (and therefore, apparently, it is time to segue back to BACON!!).
Due to several circumstances that were less beyond my control than they were related to being married to John, I arrived too late for Milicent's class. *pout* Tried to talk to Mistress Emmelyne, but Rori decided at that point she was crabby and wanted a nap, food, down, or anything but to be held quietly. We left before Court, as baby patience had reached it's limit. Though I'd have liked to return for Ullr's talk... we were all in bed by 8:45.
The commute in today was just this side of horrendous. It was like being trapped in a snow-filled K-mart, there were so many blue lights. Things are breaking up a bit, and the Chief Meteorologist promises a placid evening commute. I shall hold him to that.
Didn't get my overgown done, didn't find my kerchief till I got home, but all in all, progress has been made.
This week's to-do: Work on finishing said overgown (felted hem may take some doing). Work on various embroidery projects. And finally buckle down on learning Joomla and updating/converting the web page. *sigh* It must needs be done!
