harried

Aaargh. SCA, Number One Worst Stuff-Intensive Hobby in the known universe. We have an away event this weekend, up in the Riviersonderend mountains. We leave at 3pm. Car packing activies have already begun, and the additional bakkie arrives at 2. Yesterday's food-buying operation (36 people for 3 days) entailed 2 cooks, 2 shopping trolleys, 12 shopping bags, R2000, and a Land Rover. It is a significant index to my character that, despite the fact that I'm not actually cooking at the event, I've been in the kitchen for about 18 out of the last 24 hours, doing pre-prep. I'm also event steward, so am more than a little harried.

I'm looking on this as the last flourish of non-academic activity before the serious grind gets going. Sigh.

Be good while I'm away!
