In short.... we had a blast!
More specifically,
It rained right up until a half hour before the BBQ, then the sun came out [a great thanks to Thor and Sunna!]
Sausages and burgers were cooked on the BBQ... a mixture of beers, ciders and soft drink washed it all down. After the normal recommended half an hour of digesting time we started the ritual which took place in a gorgeous heated swimming pool and was surrounded by torches. We had a floating altar which held our triple wick candle, our tree and our well. Despite our visions of the altar going down like the Titanic, it actually floated rather well. We had several competitive and innovative pool games as tributes to our River Goddess, Sunna and Loki. The omen indicated that the Gods either were praising us for our innovation or laughing too hard to explain anything but a thumbs up. Either way, we were happy with it!
After the rite was done, we sang "Walk with Wisdom" all the way to the 104 degree Jacuzzi where we had a Sumbel, toasting our friends, our Gods, ourselves and just about anything we could think of to get our hands on the drinking horn... we also made some boasts and oaths which were duly recorded and will no doubt prove to make our lives interesting when we remember them in the morning!
