Stuff

I often have the intention of writing blog posts. All about life, impressions, news and little anecdotes. I fail. Because I am so busy living life that I don't get around to writing it up!

Christmas - yay - International Turkey day was full of turkey and good food and good company.

Work shutdown - I planned cleaning, personal financial organising, socialising, SCA organising, minatures organising, getting back into exercise, and making miniatures stuff.  I ended up doing everything I wanted to, except making the miniatures stuff. I ended up doing a heap of painting as well, while re-watching Deadwood, Alias and band of Brothers boxed sets.

New years - 4 parties out of five. Sorry Blair! The order was Womble penthouse drinkies, ML lake party, Gnomes block party for the kickover to 2010, and then Woodstock-Zombies till 6am. Sweet!

Exercise experimentation paid off - I spent some time shooting hoops, alone and with flatmate Gunnar, and I found the location of the Canberra fitness trails. Well. I found all of the one around Lake Burley-Griffin that starts near the boat ramp. Womble and I found 3/9 of the stations of the ANU one, but suspect that some stations bits have been pulled up in the recent refurbishments.

It's been seven months since I was able to exercise to any intensity. I really missed it, and am so happy I'm back.

12th Night - Be there!

Cancon - Five confirmed palyers for Apoc, and several more possibles. 3 have returned from last year, two newcomers. It will ever increase :)

Back in the saddle

I was going nuts, and had to declare it a bit early, but it's official - I'm back to being able to exercise. I'm starting gentle, with skills and drills with SCA, a bit of running around with Jugger, playing down the order with cricket when out and about. I'll also be doing boxing and weights at home.

My aim is to not fight SCA heavy until Valentines - just to do skills and drills over the Summer heat, and hope it has cooled down enough by February. I would like to have a clean festival - good equipment, good fitness, etc so I can do a good job of Festival Marshal.

And being fitter in general is a great thing.
