Oops!

I managed to split this candle in two when trying to push it onto a candleholder spike (there's probably a name for that but you get the picture) so tonight I polished up an old Boy Scouts skill and bound it up. Admittedly it broke again with the first binding and the second had to be a bit more strategically placed, but it might hold together. The theory is that melting wax will fill the cracks and make it as good as new. Nice theory, we'll see!
Another 10-pin match tonight against a good team, I'm hoping for a sudden surge of team form; ours, not their's!

Late match report: We were gubbed. Ouch!
