Well, that didn't suck (impressions of 12th Night)

12th Night has a not-totally-undeserved reputation as a fairly "blah" event, with order meetings and court and nothing else to do. But I must say, it is improved tenfold by being held on a day with perfect -- and I mean absolutely, couldn't-be-better ideal -- May Day weather. If you're going to be spending much of the day just hanging out, best to do some of it outside in the uncannily lovely sunshine.

[livejournal.com profile] ladysprite's Italian Fruit Goop, a warm brown compote of cherries and figs and stuff, spread on bread. Do find a chance to try some -- it's really quite good.

[livejournal.com profile] umbran getting his AoA, with a lovely little scroll full of nice Latvian detail work. These things are always more fun when they fit the recipient.

Driving home in the crunchy-clear moonlight. The nearly-full moon acting as a billion-lumen searchlight, fimbriating the clouds, their edges glowing bright white in the reflected sunlight while the centers stay Tootsie-Roll dark -- the effect against the black sky is quite surreal...
