He should be, because after the festival, he was thoroughly regretting the cider. But it's not like he got that stupid hat stuck on his head. I'll never live that down, I swear...

I may also never live down getting caught practicing my dancing steps. I haven't danced (as in a proper co-ordinated dance) since I finally managed to get out dancing lessons. But Guinevere's demonstration yesterday convinced me I really need to brush up my skills. But of course, I'd have to be caught... that wasn't embarassing, oh no, not at all.

Father is all ready declaring himself fit to be attending councils and so on, you have to admire his dedication. I wouldn't be rushing back. I'll have to get over that to be King, but of coure I'm going to have much more interesting council members, so I imagine it won't be so bad.

I hope...
