Apart from a very expensive but tasty Curry.
An expensive bottle of single malt for my Dad's birthday (which I'm drooling over!) and a card for him

Off to Scarborough tomorrow, and there is an Armoury shop on the sea front so I might come home with a little something.

So you'll be putting a sword through your wallet then?

If I went to an Armoury, there'd definitely be a hole in my wallet!

I'll get my coat*

Just paid Childminder for Dad/Daughter Week upcoming

Coffee and cake.

Possibly Tesco shopping (there's a few bits I need such as cereal and milk)

Plastic sword? You usually get real ones

Might pop across to the caff with the lovely Laura later.

I kind of owe her a coffee.

As much as I would love to turn up to a Con with my metal weapons, the staff would go ballistic. Plus, the swords you get from the seaside retail places are not suitable for "real" practice. The steel isn't of very high grade, they are too thin, and the weight distribution is appalling. My next "real" weapon will be a short sword and buckler, but I'm still looking.

The last thing I bought was a pack of Jam Doughnuts for todays tea time snack.

I suppose it would raise a few eyebrows.

2 years ago I attended a con in York as Obi Wan Kenobi, armed with a clearly plastic Lightsaber.

By the same token though, I've seen kids attending various local and out of Town cons with VERY realistic looking prop guns, I don't think these things should legally be sold to under 18s but that's a discussion for another topic.

Possibly an interactive movie on Xbox called Mia and the Dragon Princess, I'm a fan of that sort of thing from way back.

Tickets to a Con later this month.
