Went up to the farm yesterday to meet up with Sibylle and the folks that I'll be going to Ireland with. After a bit of dinner we head out to the local pub for a few pints ( Read more... )

After a bit of a wander at the market I walked back home along the canal - a good couple hours walk in all ( Read more... )

Theoretically on a Thursday night I should really be in Deptford at "Horde" doing extra practices for my upcoming stage combat examination. I haven't had much luck doing so in the last while as my partners have been unavailable ... and now my partner is no longer doing the exam so I don't even know who I'm fighting ( Read more... )

Yesterday - bright and sunny, a little warm, only very brief rain. Corresponding mood - happy and productive ( Read more... )
