An as yet uncounted number of things make a post

1. Despite the "meh", I did go to Beltane. There's a lot to be said for having a "light" option even for full-out medieval camping. In my case, it involves "peasant dining" (i.e., bread, cheese, fruit, sausage) rather than fancy cooking.

2. Despite going, I ended up feeling rather unsocial and spent vast quantities of time in my tent working on the paper. Made much progress. Felt happy about that.

3. Not finished with the girlie stuff after all. Discover this, of course, in the middle of a camping trip. Potential causal relationship to "meh" unclear.

4. Spent much of Saturday re-staking the tent, due to an annoying combination of gusty winds and soggy ground. Managed to rip part of one wall. Highly annoying but quite fixable.

5. Wanted to stay up to listen to the Pro-Am Bardic (after the BotW competition) since I knew cryptocosm had been working on stuff, but it was barely thinking about getting started at 11:30 and I needed to sleep. Sorry.

6. If you are deeply concerned that a reigning royal maintains a squire relationship to someone else during their reign and it has never seemed to concern you that a reigning royal maintained an apprentice or protege relationship to someone else during their reign, don't expect me to be in sympathy with your concerns.

7. I guess the number of things that make a post is 6 ... no, 7 ... no, wait ... ack, I'm being consumed by self-recursion.
