Lump it or lump it

[thermalsatsuma]

After three trips to the doctor and two courses of antibiotics, a trip to the dental hospital has finally uncovered the reason for the lump on the inside of my lower lip – a blocked saliva gland. Apparently I should get an appointment to have it removed within a month, which is a huge relief.

Fencing last night was ACEBEST fun again, although we are now in desperate need of a bigger venue given the size of the class now. We barely have enough room to get everybody in a circle to do the salute, never mind to allow everybody to drill at the same time. Still, it was all good fun with another potential recruit showing up, and the two newbies being introduced to the delights of British Bulldog with swords (and Andrew with the spoon of doom).

Today was a trip to Barnsley, so Jamie and me could go swimming whilst Jan and Alicia hit the flea markets. Good fun, but tiring, and I was flagging by the time it came to take Barney out in the pouring rain. Birmingham tomorrow … groan.
