I Have A Headache

Much to my surprise, when I was at the Raven training this morning, I saw Conal teaching the newbies backwards ukemi. I volunteered as a demonstration model, and soon found myself working through half-forgotten Aikido techniques as translated to sword-play. It was fun. It was tiring. My arm hurts, and I've had a headache ever since, probably from dehydration.

Then I went to the centre of town to buy some buttons for a waistcoat that I've just made. It's very pretty. When I've sewn them on, I'll get my flatmate to take a picture and show you. I also picked up some stripy, tightly woven cotton to make Pirate Pants out of. So it was designed for mattress ticking? Nobody ever makes mattresses out of that stuff anymore, so no-one will know except for you kind readers. You won't tell, will you?)

I haven't really been doing much of interest, so I'll stop now.
