The Dome

I had some time to kill between finishing work and heading off to swords, so went for a wander round palace grounds to see if I could catch the blossom.  It was a little past its best, and I'd missed most of the white stuff, but these trees were pretty fabulous infront of the mausoleum.

Sparring was pretty dramatic tonight. I felt marginally better than in previous weeks, but also was the subject of a rather perfect takedown from I.  My break fall instincts were still in place which was good, though my mask did bounce off the floor, so I wouldn't be surprised if I was sore tomorrow.  I was very apologetic - I think he forget that I wasn't quite the same size and strength!
