Katana!

[you wanna piece of me?!]

It isn't strictly a katana, being only 48cm in (blade) length. But I prefer the name to the correct term, "wakizashi" which sounds like a type of noodle meal! Maybe next year I'll have more cash and can look to a real 60cm katana, unless the <50 cm size is a legal thing? But that's next year...

I would like to find out more about activities such as kendo, not just the Uma Thurman bits but also the mental aspect, for my brain could certainly do with some discipline!
And, if nothing else, if a burglar turns up (something worth nicking? here? you gotta be kidding! (the telly's almost as old as I am!)), this might be a mite more useful than a hammer and assorted philips-head screwdrivers, no?

God, look at my hair... I'll be buying bottles of "Just For Men" before too long. <sob!>

Some of us wear our white hair with pride ... trouble with dying it, like pringles, once you start you can't stop. Not without making it bloody obvious, anyway.
