And now I'm unscheduled for a while

hrjJune Crown this weekend was the last in a very long series of fixed weekend commitments. Now I can crash and relax for a while. Somehow even when you're scheduling individual events on the basis of "would I enjoy doing this?" they all end up ganging up on you in a lump. It was hot. It was fun. I mostly hung out and schmoozed, with a session working the heraldic consultation table, plus being in the procession for a laurel ceremony. But mostly hopping from shade to shade, sticking feet in cold water whenever possible (primarily ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
callistotoni's Goddess Party) and chatting. My good deed for the weekend was introducing a couple of musicians who needed to know each other. thread_walker invited me to join her household's potluck dinner Saturday which was a nice change from my usual routine. But by the time dinner was over and the temperature had finally fallen to around comfortable (at maybe 10 pm) I had barely enough oomph left to get to ldyanna's vigil then melted into bed.
I have another data-point on Viridium's (the new car) mileage to add to the ca. 20 mpg city-driving from my first fill-up. I gavelayla_lilah a ride to Crown to split costs so it made sense to fill up on returning in order to have number. So I have a couple hundred mile trip, essentially all highway driving, kept at 55 mph for experimental purposes (except for the bit going through Davis where a series of other-vehicle mishaps resulted in a crawl), with an overall average mpg of 28 -- a little better than the official rating of 25mpg highway. Purely in the interests of scientific experiment I figure I should do a similar trip at the posted speed limit (i.e., 65 mph) and see how it compares.
