My voice has gone back to normal! I woke up this morning to Merlin mocking me with a Hibernian accent (he's quite good at it actually) and when I told him to "Shut up", I sounded...well... like me!

I was so excited about this, that over breakfast I actually agreed to attend a council meeting today. Which was pretty idiotic, but there you have it. So today was spent in the Meeting Room listening to the old councellors drone on and on...

It is however, nice enough for the windows to be opened and while I was looking out the window I saw Guinevere walking across the courtyard. A lovely sight! I would have liked to run down to greet her, but yes, obviously it couldn't be done.

Once I finally escaped from the Council Meeting I stumbled right into one of those multiverse things. Face to face with myself except of course it wasn't myself...One of those look-a-likes. How many people out there have my face? It's rather disturbing!

I certainly hope this sort of thing doesn't happen once the tournament begins, I need my full concentration for that! Current counts puts the competitor number at 30. That will be three days of one on one duelling, I'll need to be in peak shape for it.

That being the case, I'll be going to bed early, and rising early. And of course a lot of training to be done.

I wonder if Guinevere will be able to watch me train at all...I hope so.
