Business (or the ness of being busy)

Got up to a lot of stuff over the weekend just gone, most of it good fun :-)

Saturday morning was mainly taken up with domestic duties: catching up with ironing, then spending time in the garden. It never ceases to amaze just how grass ends up where it does - and its network of roots is nothing short of insidious. Big nuisance when it starts growing through mulch. Grr.

After that, I took a drive through the beautiful Adelaide hills, up to Gumeracha. It was a stunningly beautiful trip - although I was frustrated at the lack of places to pull over on the road. There were many occasions when I would have loved to stop and take a snap, only to be foiled by the absence of a shoulder or verge of any sort. Most unfortunate.

I did, however, get a few nice photos of the Gumeracha Medieval Fair - the reason I was headed that way in the first place. There were quite a few re-enactment groups present, providing much entertainment in the form of music, dance, food, craftsmanship, and of course, fighting!

After spending an enjoyable couple of hours watching people party like it was 1499, I drove back into the city to say farewell to one of my newer Adelaide friends, who is on her way overseas for 5 months! That ended up going a bit later than I anticipated, so I didn't get home until around 11:30PM!

After church on Sunday morning, I went down to North Adelaide, and enjoyed a Turkish coffee and delicious cupcake at Cikolatté on Melbourne St. After that, I went along to a training/info day for a friend's Ultimate Frisbee team. Throughly enjoyable, although jeans don't really make athletic endeavours easy or comfortable! Enjoyed another great church service at night, and then hung out at Najjar's for a while, chewing the fat and just idling in general. A perfect end to a great weekend.

Needless to say, after all the activity, I found being productive tough going today :-)

P.S. Oh, photos from the fair, etc, can be found in my Flickr photostream.
