Archery - Back On!
Looks like the archery club that I was visiting back in June, has now moved to its winter premises, which is only two miles from where I live! So, that’s chuffed me up, no end. It also runs three times a week, of which, two are good for me. I know where I’ll be spending my Tuesday nights and Sunday afternoons.
What else is going on? Well, the soon-to-be Willow sickle handle is drying nicely. I got the remaining dozen of arrows back in from the garage, I’ve waxed them (and my bow while I was at it) and scrubbed (using wire wool) off the slight bit of rust that was forming on the tips. I’ve ordered some tabs, a stringer (fed up with using my spare string) and some additional fletching thread, so I can finally finish the twenty-eights.
Just checked my order with apple.com, and yes, my iPod Nano has been shipped! Alison should be getting her’s back soon… I kinda borrowed it, as I need background noise and music when I work, and the office here is just too quiet for my temperament.
Hmmm, must remember to salvage some dental-floss in order to mark the nocking-point on the serving of my strings. That could be a job for the weekend. I need to remember to check stave tapering measurements in my books at home, if I have them, it’s time to buy some raw staves and get started on the commissions :D
The White Stripes - Little Ghost, is the song doing the rounds in my head at the moment.
Little ghost, little ghost
One I’m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I’m the only one that sees you,
And I can’t do much to please you
And it’s not yet time to meet the lord aboveThe first moment that I met her
I did not expect a specter
When I shook her hand I really shook a glove
She looked into me so sweetly
And we left the room discreetly
No one else could know the secret of our loveLittle ghost, little ghost
One I’m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I’m the only one that sees you,
And I can’t do much to please you
And it’s not yet time to meet the lord aboveEvery morning I awoke
And I see my little ghost
Wond’rin’ if it’s really her that’s lying there
I lean to touch her and I whisper
But not brave enough to kiss her
When I held her I was really holding airLittle ghost, little ghost
One I’m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I’m the only one that sees you,
And I can’t do much to please you
And it’s not yet time to meet the lord aboveThough I try my best to keep it
There really was no secret
Must have looked like I was dancing with the wall
No one else could see this apparition
But because of my condition
I fell in love with a little ghost and that was allLittle ghost, little ghost
One I’m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I’m the only one that sees you,
And I can’t do much to please you
And it’s not yet time to meet the lord above
No, it’s not yet time to meet the lord above
