Last day at work

[glenatron]

Last night was our work christmas do, that had been postponed due to our inability to get everyone in the same place at the same time so I suggested we recycle it as my leaving do. It was a good night out- the guys I worked with are a really great bunch of people, we listened to some fantastic folk music from the brilliant Alela Diane and later went to a cocktail bar and I only chundered slightly and only after we got back to the place we were staying which probably stopped the already irate taxi driver who took us home from becoming furious.

I now have two weeks of sweet sweet freedom which will doubtless fly by in seconds, especially as they include Badminton and a four day Tom Widdicombe clinic.

They begin, however, with my birthday present- a day of Skill At Arms, which is happening tomorrow. Very exciting. No doubt pictures of me in various states of fail and unplanned gravity/ground interfaces later in the weekend...

EDIT: A questionmark hangs over the day now, sleepsy_mouse is feeling very ill and it's looking a bit like I'm going to need to cancel.

Okay, your predictions concerning it have me curious -- What IS Skill At Arms?

It's kind of old cavalry games- tentpegging, javelin from horseback, quintain and so on. Here (http://www.ditchlingcommonstud.co.uk/sussex_skill_at_arms_courses.htm) is the place I'm supposed to be going...

Oooh, that sounds awesome! I hope if you have to cancel you'll get another chance to go.
