Hey,
Figured I should update my household tasks as well while I am doing updates.
1) Improve Fighting
2) Improve appearance (through adding finishing touches to garb)
3) Another task to be assigned by Gabriel
So...
1) Improve fighting. Ok I feel I am meeting this one as I have definitely improved my fighting and renown.
2) Improve appearance. Only made myself two hats thus far... need to pick this one up before next GNW.
3) Still waiting. Gabs had the idea of me writing a manual of sorts for GNW stewarding... but Bec is already on this one :)

Latest update
Well... been a while since I did any sort of update, so figured I should do something.
Fighting:
Been doing well of late, won a few smaller tournaments in Rapier but been happy with my performance as it has been up against higher fighters like Sir Somerled and Baron Giles. Also won the Rapier Championship for River Haven, so proud of that. Just gotten two students authorised in Rapier, Steve a local mate, and Darin from a Canton about 2 hours away. Both have been called Mini Dimitrii's because of their fighting style, but both are already doing very well. Very happy with how they are doing. Also heard someone say that they heard a newbie rapier fighter saying that they see my level of fighting as a benchmark to get to... got to be happy with that.
Also doing well with Heavy at the moment. I am keeping much lower stance with my glaive meaning that rather than my point being to the right side of the opponents head, it's now down near their groin. This makes people stand back and be very defensive and not rush me, has worked very well agianst people like Sir Somerled, tomas, even Gabs for a while until he figured it out and now I have to keep my point to his lower left to have any sort of chance. The thrust is mostly doing it for me. Won the Heavy Championship for River Haven as well... twice the Champ!
Service:
Run to events lately, the Newcomers event and the Baroness's Bash. I ran the newcomers one because Bec and I noticed a real lack of events in RH at large, and we have heaps new newbies but no local events. So we ran this one. Was a great success with heaps of newbies coming, and also heaps of the old guard coming out as well. Worked well as the newbies are all hooked now.
Also ran the B/Bash on the weekend just past. Just ran it as a free event and potluck. Ended up being a royal visit which brought everyone out of the woodwork but was a really good event. Made more so because I was awarded the Silver Pegasus for my service and courtesy... HUGE honour.
A&S:
Been quiet with this recently, many plans but done little. Have a class in a week or two on Russian/viking/mongol hats with Glynnis which I am still preparing for. Have some plans for a new Tunic and jacket for the Invest/Devest in November. Not much time between now and then, so really should start. Taught a chainmaille class at a local canton to help them get started, gave them a heap of rings to get them on the way and a how-to handout I had made. Also playing at the moment making another chain for a certain fighter which will be a knight soon... hope I will have it ready in time. (oh and if you read this... don't feel obliged to ever wear it)
