So, this weekend was supposed to be set aside for doing the last of my corrections and polishing up the thesis for handin on Tuesday, as well as getting a couple of little builds for Socks And Puppets out the way.
Then I got a phone call.
Turns out the University of Sussex Fencing Club is once again running the Brighton Open this year, a big fencing tournament that sees a wide range of skills and people from all over the country. Naturally, it includes a cafe, armoury and bake sale. Except... one of the armourers is in Finland, being trained for his new job, and the event's too big for one armourer to handle alone.
I was the club armourer for oh, going on five years: I basically kept that club's kit cupboard running with duct tape and string till we got a budget, then bought and maintained all the kit they currently use. I happen to like them. So when they called me, asked me to hop back into the saddle and get them out of a bind, of course I said yes. I need to be there at 0830 in the morning on Sunday the 8th of May to set up pistes, spin up the armoury, lay out a workshop, ...
Waitaminute.
What am I doing still up? *z*
