No Pain, No Gain
Or so they say, anyway.

I took more injuries during training than I was expecting today, the main one of which has actually put my left arm out of commission for a while. It's not that painful now I have an arm bandage on it, but it's still not that moble. I was hit by Justin's sword, heh. He also hit my left ring finger on the nail and I unintentionally punched his buckler* with my right hand, giving me a very red bruise on my right little finger, too. It sounds pithy, but it bloody hurts.

I also have a collection of grazes and bruises on my arms- one on my wrist from my own arm guard rubbing against my skin, a graze on the same elbow Justin busted, a dark purple mark on my right elbow just below the joint, an odd blue mark on my right hand and a scratch on my shoulder. I've not looked at my legs yet, but my ankle hurts every now and again.

It's probably not as bad as it sounds- I wouldn't do fight if I didn't expect to get hurt. I still enjoy it, and if nothing else it teaches me to stay out of the way a bit more. I could have had worse, though- Derren had to go early to A&E (ER) because some loose armour cut him... somewhere unmentionable. [Note to self: wear cricket box]

Wish List
For the next re-enactment trade fair, I need:
-a side-arm (either hand-axe or Falchion)
-another belt
-a drinking vessel
-elbow guards
-A Swept-Hilt Rapier
-other odd little bits.

It's going to be an expensive one...

*sigh*
My Tenchi RPG's dying much faster than I'd anticipated. Oh well. I need to try and keep up with W.H.A.T.E. and everything else I'm in/due to be in. Hmm...
