Probably should upate
Well things have been rather placid of late but reasonable...god I wanna go back to uni and have stuff to do. I mean I've got stuff now but I want to be doing lots of things and taking up a lot of time...I'm strange but it's a leo trait and boy have I blinking well got it.
Some key thigns that have happened over the last week or so:
Tuesday - Sweep got attacked by two cats as I went up to the big shops/Manor Walks and I ended up having to almost hit them with the leader to get them off her. Horrible nasty cats *snarles at them*
Friday - Kendo was surprisingly different, I got my new Shinai through the post which I was glad about, turned up with Kal-chan and ended up with Darren and Dennis being the only Dan Grades there but luck was on our side cause Mark had just come back and we had the Korean lad. So as we were doing the Shomen N...I've forgotten it again (makes note after this to get the kendo terms learnt by heart or Darren will murder me) Darren told us off and made us go back to the basics to get it all right so that when we got our newbies within the next three months that we could sound like we knew what we were doing.
So we go through everything for looking the part and then have to demonstrate to the others with the kie, ken and kondi? Another one I've gotta learn, basically Spirit, sword and body all moving as one, and everyone had to say if it worked well or not. so Darren starts with Mark who goes reasonably well but a little off with the spirit, then he went to Kal and she did excellent really started to look the part and know what she was doing - just a little quiet on the kie side but otherwise go girl! - then Darren glances at me and goes to the Korean lad who does well but misses the cuts but everyone does that anyway and then turns to me with that know-it-all grin and says 'Right Sarah, the pressures on you now to get it perfect cause we've pointed out all the other mistakes'.
*worried groan sound* So I take a deep breath, close my eyes, straighten up, open my eyes and do the five men cuts. I stop not really having thought about them and knowing that I got one a little off center, Darren 'I wish I had a camera just to show you what you were like before and what your like now'. That was mega wierd but it made me smile, only problem is that he's going to be hounding me to keep it like that. *groans again*
Heh but still fun.
Saturday - after work I went to Kamo's for his birthday and had a BBQ, quite fun and generally a nice time. Sunday woke up, went and saw Jo his cousin and ended up exchaing all sorts of things (still need to work on the scripts that we're going to do but heh it'll be fun) and then missed the 3:30 train so had to wait for the 4:30. Got it and Gran was round when I got home, had tea and a bath and then stayed onlione till stupid o'clock with Baka-chan.
Today - got up reasonablly and mowed the lawn by myself - back and front. Would've woke up Dad to help me but he would have grumbled and I thought that he would wake up when her heard the mower cause it's a noisy thing. Apparently he did wake up and hear it but then turned over and went back to sleep so now that's been dubbed 'a Seh Seh' sleep whilst mum's is 'Num-num' sleep. Yes my Dad is very wierd.
Also watched Dragon Drive Subbed and it's ten times better. Neeways off to do stuff now ^_^
