jennythereaderGot home several hours ago. I've been catching up on LJ and went out to dinner with the fiance and some friends.
Birka was fun but kind of frustrating. I forgot my workbasket and so didn't have any projects to work on or show off, and all 5 of us who were rooming together managed to injure ourselves at some point.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sunatrya was the worst, she tripped and sprained/strained her ankle and wrist. Tom got his head rung like a bell (literally, his right ear was ringing for several hours), and the rest of us all banged our heads at various times.
I didn't get as much shopping done for myself as I wanted, but that was mostly because I didn't see much that was useful/fun and in my price range. Tom got a book of medieval Russian decoration, some thin leather, and a CD; I picked up some silk embroidery thread and a extra pair of small scissors.
I got some reading done Sunday night (I'm currently reading Drawing Down The Moon, the revised edition from 1986.) It's good and is making me think about my beliefs, but I can't help but wonder if there is a later edition available.
We had dinner Saturday night at the wonderful Indian place, swam in the hotel pool, boiled ourselves in the hot tub, and in general had fun.
