Been off line for a while celebrating the return of the Blademaster to the piste with convincing victories over Zippy and more importantly the Baron. ok it was 14 - 15 in my favour, but that still counts as a damn good good thrashing.

Really busy off piste at the moment hence the pause in my babble.

Family honour has been restored with the prodigal daughter returning to the Custodians fold this week after a five year absence, with Son and Daughter fighting it out for the family league table. This means the family order of play has slightly changed, with Blademaster at 1, the Boy at 2, the girl now at 3, the family cat at 4, and nephew the 32" blade that has represented Wales at International level still propping up the family Table at the Bottom.
