janewilliams20I'm an established farmer now, with pigs in one field and corn in another. (Yes, corn - maize - in 1455. I feed it to my pigs. Don't ask.)
Apart from the one-day hires to work in people's fields, I've been offered a job. My local tavern, the Paga Inn, wants a new bar-maid, and I've been offered the place! A seat at the bar guaranteed, all the beer I want (as long as I pay standard prices for it), and, after a bit of haggling, a clean apron every day and a basket for Daffid when he follows me in there. Daffid - ah, yes. My little lamb. I acquired him while RPing in a game about weresheep, and he sort of stuck... I'll take up the offer when Marya gets back from her planned church retreat in January (while I'm in Switzerland).
We've had a lot of fun partying over in Kendal, and soon it'll be time for the Liverpool Ball. There were plans to have a complicated competition for King and Queen of the Winter, with us appearing in our finest ballgowns (or bikinis?), answering questions, and so on. Due to an interruption by the plague, all we're doing is going straight to the vote. Lots of lovely, accomplished, and well-known ladies entering - but, for some reason I totally fail to understand, I currently have 63% of the vote. Dunno what's going on there... but if I win, I'm welcoming people to the Ball, and leading the dancing. I just hope the King is someone nice... well, looking at the voting there, all the gents in the lead are people I like, so that's fine.
