Open du Port de la Lune, diēs secundus - acīnacēs et gladius brevis cum parmā. In circulō acīnacis semel tantum victus sum, angustissimē VI:VII, in omnibus aliīs tribus certāminibus vīcī. In ēlīminātiōnem progressus sum quō vīcī in gradū prīmō, sed in proximō (summī VIII) victus sum.
In gladiō brevī cum parmā quoque victus sum semel et bis vīcī in circulō. In ēlīminātiōne, quō VIII dē XII proeliatōrēs progressī sunt, vīcī in gradū prīmō, deinde in certāmine sēmifīnālī victus sum. In certāmine ultimō vincere potuī, nummum aēneum 🥉 capiēns. Nisi male reminiscor, id est prīmum nummum meum prō gladiō cum parmā.
Grātulātiōnēs Batesta Bordeaux prō certātiōne bene ordīnātam, praecipuē rēspiciēns id prīmum fuit 👏

Open du Port de la Lune, day two - saber and sword and buckler. In the saber group I lost only once, most narrowly 6:7, and won in the other three bouts. I advanced to the elimination where I won in the first round, but in the next one (top 8) I lost.
In the sword and buckler group I also lost once, and won twice. In the elimination, to which 8 of 12 fighters advanced, I won in the first round, then I lost in the semifinal. In the very last fight, I was able to win, claiming the bronze medal 🥉. Unless I remember incorrectly, this is my first medal for sword and buckler.
Congratulations to Batesta Bordeaux for a well organised tournament, especially considering this was the first time 👏

I love the concept and reality of the #thirdplace

We lost that third place during COVID. It's coming back... sort of, because one byproduct of COVID is many cafes have changed their opening hours to much shorter ranges. Pre-COVID, you could always find a few quality cafes open past 5pm. Post-COVID, in Victoria BC at least, 2-3pm closing times seem the norm. That ain't third place. :)

CoffeeGeek · The Third Place » CoffeeGeekThe pandemic took them away from us. But in 2023 and beyond, it's time for us all to really get back to that third place!

Discussion invite: Do you have a "third place"?

I've been hearing about this idea that your home is your first place, work or school is your second place, and that there are amazing benefits to having a third place that is community space for socializing and does not emphasize commerce. This could be a church, a barber shop, a library, a rec center, a park, etc.

I do not have a third place, and apparently I am not alone. Since the US has been and continues to be increasingly car-dependent, especially in the suburbs, and community spaces are disappearing and giving way to commercial properties, we don't have many third places left here.

The Fediverse is probably the closest thing many of us here have to a third place, but research has shown that it's just not the same. Online communities are amazing, but they can't replace the mental benefits one gets from an IRL third place.

So what's up guys? Do you have a third place? If so, what is it? How has it improved your life or where do you think you might be without it? I'm really curious to hear about your experience.

The concept of a #ThirdPlace was foreign to me until relatively recently. This video by @notjustbikes explains it well. It's not your home, it's not where you work, it's a place where you hang out with the locals in your neighborhood (bar, coffeeshop, barbershop, park), and build stronger ties to your community. All made quite difficult if not impossible by the weird zoning laws in most of the US and Canada youtu.be/VvdQ381K5xg #WhereEverybodyKnowsYourName
