Anyway, before all that happened, I had already booked my next 12 for 2012 event, and last weekend Rock Chick, Goth Girl and I took ourselves off to south of the river (gasp! shock!! the horror!!!) to take a lesson in archery. I've wanted to try archery since I fell in love (aged 15) with this chap, on this show. (What? I never pretended not to be shallow). The 90 minutes hurtled by, it was such good fun. It turns out that, unlike the circus skills, I don't suck at archery. I mean, I'm no Katniss Everdeen, but I was the only one to never miss the target :-)
In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I found a club in north London (phew!) and have signed up for a 12-week course.
That is SO COOL!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the idea of learning how to shoot a bow and arrow and even asked for and received a simple bow and arrow set for x-mas one year as a teen...
I may follow your example and see about finding a similar course in my neck of the woods.
I really hope you enjoy the course and you should definitely write some updates about how the classes go - I know I'd be interested in hearing about it!
You look very bad ass!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fab shot and like cgd says, you look proper bad-ass :D Keep it up!

Wow, good for you. I'm really impressed you're still doing your 12 for 12. I'm sure I'd have given up before the end of March!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love that you're leaping into the 12 for 12 thing, and still doing loads of cool stuff. Inspirational! What number are you on now?
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Songbird, I'm back in the blogosphere after some time off and came back to that news. Hope you've had lots of love and support and space to grieve.
