On a lunch break at the moment so whilst I am eating my sandwich, thought I would muse a little on where I'm at in my life at the moment.....
* My Teeline Shorthand course - I'm really struggling with this one. I get so frustrated that it won't 'click' straight away (yes I am impatient when it comes to this stuff). I'm okay doing drills but as soon as I have to 'think' it on the spot, I draw a blank! I know I just need more practice but I find it sooooo hard to get motivated at the moment. *sigh*
* The family is going well - Wolf had a tick on the edge of his eye Monday but is going okay. Cyriac took him to the hospital to get it removed. Luckily there were no complications. Wolfstanus brought home a certificate for getting 9.5 out of 10 on his guitar exam school, Conradus wrote 2 sonnets for an assignment (with a bit of help - but hey, that is a huge achievement for him!) and Wolf has decided to continue learning the flute for the school band.
* We are puppy sitting for the neighbours across the road by default - their blue cattle pup escaped and came over to our place. We are looking after her until they get home on Sunday or Monday. She's a little cutie but boy does she need a bath!!!! Stinky puppy! She has fun playing with the boys after school and with our other dogs - warning - I suspect she will try and escape more often and come over and play!
* Work is good - I'm really lucky to have such a good job and great people to work with.
* SCA - disappointing news that Rowany will not support Radburne going out on our own yet. However, after much thought, they are right. Benefit of 25 years of playing the game I guess!! I have much to discuss with the other members of Radburne. The group is at a crossroads at the moment and needs to decide what it needs to do and where it wishes to go. I see us as having three options:
A. Become a fully fledged Shire - we cannot do that at the moment, the group needs to grow and prosper more first;
B. Continue as a Proposed Shire indefinately - I don't think this is really possible but should be for at least 12 months though;
C. Admit defeat - continue in the SCA as members of Rowany and run a few events out here a year as members of Rowany (need to discuss this option with Radburne and Rowany first). Continue meeting with interested people and keep going much the same as we have been but without being an official group and be members of a larger group.
To do list:
* make banners for Wolf and Conradus
* make pennons with latin motos
* make tabard for Wolfstanus in Oz's colours
* set up Archery Practice
* come up with discussion points for Radburne when we meet in Wello
* plan school demo
* learn a simple dance to teach
* sort out on-line store for Stock Clerk stuff
* RELAX!!!
Time to go back to work...........
