And another year wiser is how the saying goes, but considering my wisdom and tatical brillance I'm not sure I need to know anymore.

My birthday actually wasn't that exciting as it was pouring down rain so my usual birthday hunting trip was out. Instead I had to entertain myself by mocking Merlin, which is always fun.

If I didn't know better though, I'd think he got some revenge on me, because after a night revellery I woke up in a bit of a predictment, which Morgana fortunately got me out of.

Now I probably drank a bit too much last night, but I didn't think it affected my usual ability with a sword, although after today's training while I was waiting for Guinevere one of those future people showed up and asked me if I was a beginner! A beginner! Me! Ridiculous!

I was breaking in the new sword I ordered from Elyan, actually...it's an incredibly well-made sword, I'd go so far as to say that it's the best sword I've ever used, I'm very interested in seeing how it goes in a fight. Although for Guinevere's sake that hopefully won't be any time soon.

At the moment though it looks like things are going to be very quiet...Father wants me to attend all the council meetings now. And if that's his idea of a birthday present...he needs to consult with Morgana in future - she got me a horse! Now that's a gift!

Oh and the Knights got me a new crossbow and mace - which if you had any idea how slow the Royal Armourer is, you'd appreciate how amazing that is.

And lastly but far from least-ly (?), Guinevere gave me something from the heart, which I'll treasure and keep near. Did I really write something that girly?

So really a very enjoyable birthday.
