Today, wandered around Whiteman Park for ages. Pretty, but as I was feeling sick, pretty painfull.
My computer still hates me, and I still have no money. And now I'm sick. Perfect.
So I'll elaborate on the Whiteman Park bit.
Turns out they now have a bridle trail. if you have a horse, feel free to give me that horse.
There was a bard type storytelling guy. If he was being paid, I have lost all faith in... that storytelling guy. He was telling a Pirate story, and was simultaneously being the bad pirate and the good guy... or maybe the good pirate and the bad guy... hrm. at the same time. Quite amusing, and very loud.
The print store is more interesting than any of the other [3] stores in the craft villiage, it has a display of old newspapers, one of them bagging Goebbels. Hahah.
It also sold re-prints of [seriously] old flyers, printed in the old way.
one of them was asking for "3 able bodied seamen or landsmen" to join the "worthy brig... uh, something".. from the 17th century, another was "CAST OUT WITCHCRAFT!"
and went on about the worryingly high number of supernatural occourances in our [hamlet], from the 16th century,
my favourite was
"REWARD of 500 pounds to whomsoever captures the crew of [some ship], who are guilty of the heinous crime of smuggling"
That's right, folks, an anti-pirate ad from the 17th century
The next one advertised the selling of "5 strong-backed slaves" with their names and best skills... from 18 something,
and the last one advertised a shipwreck sale, with goods washed ashore from "unfortunate vessels" for cheap. there was a large ammount of deerskins for sale.
And that's the extent of my day, apart from being sick and having to take that godawful gargle..
but, looking up, it was a good day
