[Bordermarch] I lay here in pain

[justinw at dreammakersetx.com]

Well as most know I tried to relive my youth this past week, I failed. I
have a slipped disc and am laid up at the moment. So As I take all the
lovely potions and pills the healer has given me I decided to write a
little. 

Sundays Practice

There was a large turn out at practice this Sunday. It was rather
pleasant. I was unable to fight but enjoyed watching others. There were
several people there that I have never seen and people I haven't seen in
a while. SO I suggest we say that the press will be attending all sunday
fighter practices.This way more people will be showing up to play. And
sadly enough still no Silverhand.

August 4 is the 216th day of the year (217th in leap years) in the
Gregorian calendar. There are 149 days remaining until the end of the
year. So if my math is correct that leaves only 142 shopping days left
til Christmas. 

On this Day:

1265 – Second Barons' War: Battle of Evesham – the army of Prince
Edward (the future Edward I of England) defeats the forces of rebellious
barons led by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, killing de
Montfort and many of his allies. This is sometimes considered the end of
the age of chivalry in England.

A Poem from Gace Brule

The Birds  


  
The birds, the birds of mine own land 
I heard in Brittany; 
And as they sung, they seemed to me 
The very same I heard with thee. 
And if it were indeed a dream, 
Such thoughts they taught my soul to frame 
That straight a plaintive number came, 
Which still shall be my song, Till that reward is mine which love hath
promised long. 
 
I am in need of knowledge. Yes Your Excellancy, more than a little. I
need to learn the finer points of bow string making. How does one
determine the stings length? What type of string do I use? 

Ok enogh for now. Time for my potion and pills.....
