I went to Fighter Practice today, and decided that I would try florentine (AKA two-stick -- IOW: Fighting with two swords instead of sword and shield). Things worked well. I really enjoyed it -- until I started getting hit in my unprotected thigh. The three hits happened today between 3:30PM and 4:00PM. It's now 10:53, and my right thigh is a large mass of black and blue, with the actual impacts delineated by white lines.
Eowyn put vitamin E on the bruise today, and complained to me that it was taking so much of it. We usually use one or two caplets (poke a hole, squeeze the contents onto the bruise, then rub it in gently), but today we had to use four. BIG bruise.
I took a few photos today, then left the camera at Eowyn's. I'll be getting it on Wednesday, so I'll share pictures then, if anyone's interested. |
