Thanks to good friends I have swiss_kun's vid on my harddisk because I cannot watch it on Youtube for copyright reasons...

[sharpiefan]

Crazy. I've got her older vids on my harddrive (well, on my other laptop and I've been meaning to move them over).

It's getting to be a sad state of affairs when people can't post or watch things like that online though. *hugs*

[esteven]

*nods and hugs in return*

I have all her vids on my harddrive now, just like most of the MC songvids.

Dunno if you want to do a feed, but I've decided to get this on its feet. There'll be at least one entry a week;

http://diaryofaredcoat.wordpress.com/

So far there's two personal posts, but that will have changed by next week.

[sharpiefan]

Got it - thank you! :D

[esteven]

That blog looks interesting, but no mention of Aubreyad, Sharpe and Wellington in your intro? ;D

[latin_cat]

There will be. The next post will have a title along the lines of 'Why I do Re-enacting', in which the boys will get a mention.

[esteven]

I will be looking forward to reading that :D
