I think i'll be blowing this concrete crap for Sterling in upstate New York. Renne says it is the most beautiful of the fairs. I'm certainly not about to run but i am leaving after a brief recoup, mend, cut and stock here.
I was invited to Bizzar Bizarre, the Monday morning buy, sell, swap, breakfast social at Scarborough Faire to engage in some wooden sword combat contest sponsored by the family (and my future employers at Sterling?) that run The Hollow Earth. I was the only woman that did not get eliminated, including the family's daughter, Maia- till the semi finals. Every hit was on my left arm as i'm not use to protecting it at all. The 360 degrees is new for me in sword fighting (I've got to switch the Johnny fencers onto this type of play!) but is far more exciting.
People asked me to spar with them afterwards for 4 hours and i got shown the basics of snake style and asked back for the next contest. Maine Gauche, cut and slash, rapier, broad sword, and dagger dagger. All in all an impressive and simply lovely day. The fact i can't rotate my right wrist is the only negative repercussion.
