So... busy, busy, busy as usual.
Nearly finished a shirt for Arden. I embroidered an oak leaf design on the collar and cuffs and am just assembling the final shirt now. Need to check that the front opening is long enough and hem it, and then that's done.
On Monday morning I'll be helping a student makes a herald's tabard for our next feast, and on Monday afternoon another student and I will be painting heraldic designs on tablecloths.
Then it's volunteering on Tues morning and calligraphy on Tues evening...
Today, if the weather allows, we'll have the Champion's Tourney.
I don't expect a large crowd of spectators in this weather. It's really cold out there. I'm wondering how many layers of thermal underwear I can put on before it starts to prevent me moving my arms...
Made it out to the Citrus Club for the first time in a while on Friday. I got the opening time wrong so we (
xora, Becca, Anth and Jacky) were tragically forced to sit in the Filmhouse Bar and drink beer.
Music was a bit bland to start with, but it did liven up, and we danced plenty.
My back started complaining at around 2am. Not as young as I used to be.
There was a group of youngsters, two girls and a boy, who were dancing with us. By about half way through the night they were coming over and inviting us on to the dance floor whenever we sat down.
A different young man first of all approached Anth, who was briefly polite and then ran to the dance floor, and then me. He was a little the worse for wear, but seemed nice enough. He said he was impressed with how we were all having so much fun and not caring about being the oldest people there, and something about apologising for being male and having lecherous thoughts and wanting to date all three of us. Danced with him for a bit. He persisted in chatting me up for a bit, but did eventually give up and just dance for a while before wandering off.
xora gave Becca and I a lift up the hill on his way back home, and stopped by for a cup of tea.
