was I that obvious?

Most of y'all guessed my April fool - fencing masks are far too stable and padded for me to really get a cut lip (or anything else). Besides, the smallsword is the weapon of gentlemen and artists - we wouldn't hit each other in the head anyway! That'd be downright gauche....

Not a great Monday. Lots of worry, lots of loose ends, lots of irritating going/doing before I can chill this coming weekend(!)

But there was cake today. With chocolate mousse frosting and filling. So, at least, it was not ALL bad.
