Heap of sheep
This must be one of the strangest SCA-related things I've done yet.
This weekend is Revel in the Midnight Sun IV, and although I'm probably not going to be around for most of it, I have been rather involved with the immediately pre-event organisation. Which is why I'm currently in Reykjavik, ready to collect our visitors tomorrow and to drive them up north for a bit of sightseeing before taking them up to the site.
We were planning to have a Rose Tourney at the event... until we realised how much roses - or any flowers for that matter - would cost. So instead we are doing something a little more unusual, which has this evening had me making approximately 250 'sheep' in preparation for the tournament on Saturday:
Yes, it's a heap of sheep. Tomorrow I have to make the, er, sorting area to go with them, plus finish the kneeling cushions before we collect our visitors. No doubt I'll come up with other things to do while I'm at it. For now, though, given that I did a 5-hour drive today and will be doing another tomorrow, I think I'm going to go to bed.
