The news is all doom filled, so what’s something that’s made you happy recently?

Mine is finding Lemmy and all you lovely people (obviously). Also I had a workman round and he was a bloody lovely man.

    I’ve been doing HEMA and learning to fight with a sword and shield is really cool and good exercise. It’s nice to be moving more and doing something nerdy whilst meeting new people. Recently I brought most of my safety kit and I’m hoping to get a sword soon too.

        Historical European Martial Arts. Learning to fight with a sword in the style of the renaissance masters of Europe. Currently learning side sword and buckler, so a sword shorter and thicker than a fencing foil which you can cut and thrust with and a shield about the size of a dinner plate.
