William Marshall Tourney and Feast

I got sunburned on my shoulders, where my splendidly embroidered new tunic doesn't cover.

My new period boots worked wonderfully well, although the wrappings chafed my calves quite painfully.

The kids were mostly well behaved, except for an incident involving a river and a lost shoe.

The company was exceeding pleasant.

Mim and I were made companions of the Silver Drakkar. This was a huge surprise and honour (not least the unscripted acclamation), but it does explain why the Baron told me that Rocket had volunteered for the closing court, which came as news to Rocket himself. There was only one token, but when Mim went to Bash, she was given Baron Sven's own token, an even higher honour again.

I have opened applications for my replacement, with an announcement at court and a post on Stormlist. I would send the message to the Chronicler, but I don't know if Stormscroll would be out early enough. I got an approving message from a herald who liked the way I worded the post.



I interview for my own job tomorrow.
