anotheranonI'm surprised to report I actually did a whole lot this weekend.
Today (as I do every Sunday), I fenced - modern this time, in the morning. I'm finding that it still takes me awhile to get my mental game going in the mornings, and am wondering whether I need to just resign myself to the fact that the first couple of bouts will be a wash. I have a competition next Saturday morning against people who are ALL much better than me, I'm sure, yet despite this and even contrary to my usual cynicism, I can't shake the feeling that I'm La Maupin reincarnated when I'm on the strip - I may get squashed like a little bug, but damn, I'll look good out there! :P
After fencing spent 2 hours in my stinky gym clothes cleaning the kitchen - floor, counters, under the range, everything except the top of the fridge and inside the stove. I do not remember the last time I did this (I am a lousy housekeeper) but it looks good NOW :)
Also sewed a bit, but not on the vest, which is on hold until I can find buckles for the side straps. So far most of what comes up under "buckle" on Google is the size of my head and only looks good with a ten-gallon hat (emphatically not what I'm looking for). So, I'm working on my long-range Elizabethan/16th century wardrobe project, making a shirt (suitable for mens or women's clothing), a quick and easy deal with lots of hand sewing, which gives me the opportunity to..
Watch teevee - I think it's fair to count D. and I among the number of Stargate fans now :P Also checking out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jlsjlsjls' recent "'cos I felt like it" gift, season 1 of Da Vinci's Inquest - enjoying pretty well so far, with lots of familiar faces.
Also been reading a lot, but some of the books are so beefy they warrant posts of their own, all in good time.
