*waves from Strasbourg* Well, I've emerged victorious from my part 1 exams - what are we all up to this weekend?

I'll be drumming at this event on Saturday. Have spent this morning sanding down a batch of new bachi.

My son turns 16 tomorrow ("arrrghhh, not more fireworks, Dad!!!!"). Having family & friends round on Sunday to celebrate. Can't do tomorrow as it's the school open day.
Next Friday is more interesting, as I'll be playing The Last Post, alone, at Beaumont Leys Shopping Centre (which covers 7 acres (2.8ha), as I presume you've never been). Never played it in public before, so I'm somewhat "bricking it".

Happy Guy Fawkes Day/Night!

Making an official request for a new round of Clerihew poems. Always liked the metrical freedom they afforded me as a rookie MC'er.

[Juxtapose] Given the glacial pace of game turnover here, I feel obliged to point you gently in the direction of a Clerihew game currently taking place over at Orange.

You know you've been in a brace for too long when you reach for the velcro strap to haul your other (unbound, uninjured) leg around too.

Only two more days, i hope.
