This week’s sword practice

[fbhjr]

We were low of folks this week as lots of people have been sick and off at other things.
So, we worked on refreshing skills.


This includes the 1800’s knife fighting that Jose likes so much.


And, some of the 400 year old English stuff.


And, 600 year old dagger.


And, the 650 year old stuff.


And, pole arms.


We also worked on the zombie demo we are going to do next week.


It was a nice day.


The first buds are out on the trees. This means Frank’s allergies will be here soon. Sad.


We stopped at the place where I am the noodleman in Worcester for dinner. It is very close to the giant polar bear near the highway.


When we got home we found our balcony had been infested by squirrel.

Don’t know what they thought they’d find in that window box, we haven’t used it in years...

Squirrel is probably looking for nuts that he buried in there last fall!

So is it just once a week you guys practise?

Normally yes.
Several years ago we had a practice ground that we could access 24/7. When that was the case we usually met twice a week: Sunday afternoon and Wednesday evening.
But, the buisiness that hosted us closed. Now we use the garage of one of our member's father. He's willing to move all his stuff outside once a week, but not twice. (And, I do not blame him in this at all.)

Some times when it is warmer and the sun stays up late we will have extra practices on the basketball court where we live. But, the apartment complex really isn't big on that.

My wife and I were talking yesterday how it would be nice if we could set up a second time per week, mostly to do the histoical research side of it. Only a few of us are into that so it doesn't take as much room. But, it does take a bit more than available in our living room...
