28th September 2016 - Armour and Installations

Thought for the day: "There is a special place in Hull reserved for the inventor of the auto-correct"

enjoyed this photo that came up on my history book today ...

Was early in my LARP career, when I chose to enter the Viking "Hammer of Thor" competition that required you to have extra heavy armour and be able to wield a Hammer - I had the former but not the latter - but thought the armour was too good to miss as an opportunity.

I sneakily left the camp and got into the armour - and then returned with the visor down and entered the competition as Nod of the House of Hamage  - I managed to enter the ring and then called on everyone to shout my name - "Nod Hamage ... Nod Hamage"   this soon turned into the call "No Damage" as - not having the skill to use the hammer - I could do no damage with it even if I hit my opponent - needless to say - I did not last very long .. Here we can see the aftermath - a very hot individual - Armour is heavy and hot to run around in...

Of course - I am not able to do much running around today - The Specialists have looked at the back and determined that there is no direct nerve issues that require operating and so it is just a long haul to get better - keeping some exercise and not staying in one position too long ...

"This too shall pass"
Just been a long time coming ....

So.. have a picture of a dragon

Installation tonmorrow - best get back to the book
