Today was another 7 hr weaving class. I could not find any thing to bring to lunch so I had some goldfish crackers and M&Ms I had brought in case of emergency.
I drove home after and Matt had gone to Costco and got the chicken taco kit. Costco also had castella cake which I love and he got a box. It wasn’t as good as fresh from the bakery but not bad!
He also made berry compote while I was away (we had some with the cake) and prepped food for our anniversary tomorrow.
Long day but the class was successful! I have this kind of specialty loom already so I’m looking forward to practicing more at home. I had tried a little after we impulse bought it but now I know exactly how to warp it and weave so I don’t imprint any bad habits on myself.
I think if the class was slightly further away and our anniversary wasn’t tomorrow, I would have stayed tonight in the hotel. It was a long two days! The crochet lesson on Friday seems like it happened a decade ago.
People were coughing every where but no masking! I masked in class and in common areas of the hotel of course but it was really an area where people stopped doing anything. Meanwhile here at home, I see people masking all the time and there are stores and events that require it.
I think the dinners were the most successful of any of the trips I’ve been to for weaving/spinning classes. Tasty, convenient and affordable. Lunch continues to be a problem; I really wish they would add a boxed lunch option to these things but they never do. Or provide any refrigeration. The gap of time between lunch and leaving the hotel is too long for something not to be refrigerated and the rooms don’t always have freezers for ice packs.
I thought the muffin was a good idea but it was so bad and I couldn’t find a bakery or store that was still open after class on Saturday or open on Sunday morning. The classes are pretty physically demanding and I bet even locals would be happy not to have to pack a lunch.
