Nothing ventured, nothing gained

My latest venture is court heraldry. I've been a warranted member of Brigantia Staff for about 13 years, and dabbled in heraldry for most of the last 20+ years - but this weekend was only my second trial of court heraldry. After considerable pestering - and perhaps also [livejournal.com profile] baronadhemar being ill had something to do with it - he finally let me read a scroll at Hrim Schola early this month. I did all right, because in mid-court [livejournal.com profile] alethea_eastrid handed me another and said, prepare to read this one too.

This week Adhemar seemed to take for granted that I wanted to read again, and asked me to show up before court for assignment. Cool! He even indulged my request to read [livejournal.com profile] hakamadare's AOA. Plus I got to read Roz's Commendation/Safe Travels scroll. (She is moving to Atlantia, pout. Hey [livejournal.com profile] kfitzwarin and [livejournal.com profile] alienor, take good care of Rosalind Bennett when she turns up.)

I was much more comfortable this week. I apparently could be heard at least halfway back the hall. Now to work some more on pacing and breaths, so I don't end up breathing three words short of the end of a sentence. Definitely need more practice - but it looks like I'll be allowed to get that!

Yeah, that would be nifty. Looking at your schedule, some possibilities are 4/7, 4/12, 4/14. Unless you are interested in eating *before* one of your other committments?
