I did come across that, while searching around online for this post. I didn’t look at the videos, though, just the web site. Cool stuff!

The nice thing is that there is continuity: everyone is from the same culture and period. I like the SCA, but sometimes I think it would be fun to just have 13th-century English garb all together, or whatever you chose. Some internal consistency–I guess it would feel more “authentic” in some way. Or maybe so that I could really go deeper into one thing instead of being attracted by all the cool shiny stuff over 1000 years

And of course it helps that in this video they have the wonderful natural scenery, instead of a fluorescent-lighted church hall or Boy Scout campground

Have you heard about the Luttrell Psalter film project, by the way?

Yes, and doesn’t she seem much more calm and happy?

And then, conveniently, the wheel is invented by fol. 193.

Holy Smoke! A move! aaah, I have been there too many times to count. Think positive, a move really is the world’s way of making us assess our needs and priorities, and of helping us find new Doors.

Best of luck.

I’m glad you all liked this!

We’re moving to Pocatello, Idaho. Papa got a new job. We’re excited, and very stressed out

LisaAnne: Hammer time on harvest day? HAHAHA!

HMH: Why, thank you. I’ll go check that out.

I also enjoyed this post immensely. Mostly I came over here to let you know that I have given you a blog award. You can view it and the “rules” over at my place.

HA! I got the extra points:-p. I love the woman gettin’ jiggy wit’ it out in the field. I, too, find myself stopping for a little Hammer Time on harvest day. I was just wondering why the woman feeding her chickens was eying that much larger bird so apprehensively. Luckily she has that spindle in her hand to poke him with if it gets up to mischief. I usually just carry a broom around the farm (the roosters can get a bit cheeky now and then).

Nothing like a little good humored procrastination to keep your mind off what truly needs to be done. Have a good day!
