This year was a relative breeze compared to the problems last year with the travel, with juggling breastfeeding a baby with shooting, with my bow being too heavy for me, and just general frustration. http://dubhease.livejournal.com/28457.htmlRead more... )

Sunday was a great shopping day. I picked up two things that are going to help me in my SCA life: a new bow and a computer chair ( Read more... )

It was an up and down build up to this event. I was initially intrigued by the name when I saw it in The Tidings, but searched high and low for information about it. Then, The Tidings published their event flyer and I wanted to go. 36 hours before the event, I inadvertently discovered that the bow I had been planning on using wasn't usable. I ( Read more... )

Saturday, Piers and I went out to do archery. It was my third archery practice this fall and the second time I rented their 20 pound bow. I can't tell whether I'm improving or not. I started off fairly well, but was really doing badly by the end of the hour. I know know whether it's because I was more tired than I realized or if I just can't ( Read more... )

Piers and I went out to do archery today. I was going to go with Gabrielle and a girls-day out, but she is under the weather. He came with me last time as well - 2 out of 2 - so he is turning into my archery buddy. It's ironic since this is the only SCA activity we do together ( Read more... )
