It is time and beyond time I took the time (haha) to make some notes about last weekends kendo seminar...before it's THIS weekend, and while it is still reasonably fresh in my mind.

On Friday morning, I popped into the University book shop and picked myself a nice little Asian themed journal, exclusively for making notes about kendo and I have done some writing in there about the seminar, but I haven't finished yet. Some of it is stuff that you folks won't be very interested in,...

My period of rest and relative relaxation is rapidly coming to a close. This week is school holidays for my kids (and these last three days have been mighty long ones). Next week Uni...

I finally have some time (well, actually I don't but I'm ignoring the housework for a while) to give a complete update as to my training and life at present.
