A week full of stuff
The two troublesome trustees have resigned so that I can go back to work. Also, my assistant Stuart said he'd spent too long breaking me in to start with another boss, so I *have* to go back. It's scary to realise so many people are on my side, but very very nice.
We joined a Dark Ages re-enactment society last weekend - Go Saxons! Our first show will be in October at Hastings (yes, THAT Hastings), so we have until then to make costumes and props, learn combat and tablet weaving, and come up with Saxon names. The group is going to specialise in East Saxons circa 600CE as there was a Saxon King's burial (possibly Sebert, who's mentioned in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle) discovered just down the road from us in Prittlewell a couple of years ago so we're going to be Sebert's Folk. Apparently people usually have at least 2 characters of different races because you can't have a reconstructed battle with only one side, so we're going to have a bash at Vikings too.
Now all I need is a horse so I can lord it over the Normans with my newly purchased sexy Saxon sword.
Talking of camping, we're going to a festival tomorrow night! Yay! Lawrie's band is playing and I get to relive my mis-spent youth. Well, partly, because we're taking Mia as a treat for being such a big girl and being so nice to her baby sister. I have to buy her ear defenders though because as Lawrie says - it's going to be LOUD.
Baby's getting teeth and has been going "wah wah" for the past 24 hours. On top of that my sister-in-law is coming to "help" me do the housework - for help read bitch about everyone and everything in the family constantly and repetitively regardless of anything I say. Oh Joy.
