Poi and travel
Feeling tired from too much travel - been visiting friends and family over the last few days.
Had just managed to work out my poi routine for the Discworld maskerade - a fairly complicated one using scarf poi and a newly learnt figure called a 'fountain'. Took me a week and a half to 'get' the fountain, and to do the whole routine without twisting the scarves.
Managed to leave the bag containing poi, cross-stitch and the book I'm reading (my 'on voyage' bag) on the train coming home. A couple of phone calls elicited the information that the bag (if it's been found) will be in Bournemouth until Thursday (before being taken to Waterloo), but of course, in this day and age, you cannot phone a station. Great efforts are made to ensure you have no number to phone. A friend of my son's in Bournemouth did a quick check, but lost property closes at 6pm.
Will have to try again tomorrow, but am feeling frustrated. If I can't get those poi back, I'll have to re-learn the routine all over (different sets of poi move very differently) and I don't know if I have the time before the convention.
