Market time

It's the first Sunday of Visby medieval week, and soon the market will open. I used to be really excited about all the stuff on the market, but today I'm not so sure I really need anything. Or, I'd like to buy a camp kitchen/stove/grill, but I'm not sure that I'll be able to actually come to a decision. 

The temperature in the tent is still reasonable after the rain last night. We've been meaning to make an inner tent for added comfort, but for now we have hung some clothes against the wall where the morning sun hits, plus Nattfari's full circle cloak as an inner roof.

Less is less

I had a cheap fabric that I had intended to make an inner floor from if and when I got a bigger pavillion. Now the day had come to actually do that. 

It's just that there was nowhere near as much fabric as I had thought, only about six metres. When I bought it I got what was left of it in the store, so at least there is no remorse about not having bought more. We will still need carpets, though.

After Double Wars

Most things went well, the weather was good and there were lots of nice people, as usual,

Here are some random notes, mainly for me:


  • Inner walls/dividers for the tent would be nice to replace.
  • The heater needs a good cleaning and possibly different fuel. 
  • The heater was nice, but not really necessary. 
  • Kitchen chest can lose some stuff, and the cutting board should be on top, not under everything else.
  • If we make a bed it might be nice to add some sort of shelf for small stuff, phone, water bottle, etc.
  • Having two sheep skins in bed is nice.
  • We brought way too much food. 
  • Soup, bread and dried meat is a decent lunch.
  • Use sunscreen when packing.
  • Bring a larger container for water.
  • I really need to finish the Mästermyr chest.
  • Cushions for the benches would be nice.

New old tent

We bought a used tent a couple of months ago and tried assembling it today. It went well and I look forward to using it at Double Wars.
