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.

Sick.

I always wanted to get a Guts sized sword from Berserk and train with it until I was strong.

There are a couple of people with huge two handed swords at the club, those look like a lot of fun. I don't think a Guts sword would do you any good without the super strength to go with it.

You are right. But I am stubborn enough that if if get the proper opportunity for it I will struggle towards that goal

I hope to see internet videos of you swinging a tree around someday ☺️.
