I very much appreciate people archiving things. A good example is the Tchick-Tchick site by @lthredge.

Its an archive of all his Educational videos up to 2023 all in one place.

Well, it was the second ever Hunter weekend and I had a great time, if a little busy.

I was doing a double shift, one Friday, and one Saturday. both were very fun as always.

I also got to check out the Market before my shift began. I got a new leg harness From Fetishfreak, and Looked into getting a custom Chest Harness Made with some of the other vendors.

One thing I will highlight from this weekend i had a really good play session with someone who really knows how to do Gentle Nipple play.

One of the downsides of having big piercings on my chest is people assume i must be into rough play and always end up twisting them like they are tightening a stubborn bolt.

Finding not just one person, but a couple who knows how to do it gently but effective enough to make me zone out and go blank was a big thing for me.

It was also an exhausting Weekend, for the right reasons, but still exhausting.

of course there was one more thing to do on the Sunday.

It is the London Leather Social’s 15th birthday.

This event holds a special place in my heart. It’s where I met much of my current social circle and where I cut my teeth bootblacking in public. Before it got so popular there was no space to work I used to bootblack there every month tucked up in the Corner.

Fetish Unlimited was a very unique experience. But when i was asked to bootblack in that wonderful Victorian library of the UK Leather Archives how could I say no‽

Being able to chat with a group of women in their 60’s who had come to see everything was so much fun.

I got to do several people’s first time sitting for a bootblacking,I had a gentleman sit for me who’s boots were already so well cared for and high-shined I wasn’t sure if I could do much to improve them.

I also got to do some cleaning and conditioning of a boy’s filthy gear lol

The energy for the event was wonderful. It was also really nice to see a much wider mix of people outside my normal circles.

This night was a good night for boot-blacking, despite my own weariness. Its been a week of me not getting enough sleep and it really caught up with me being out late at Hunter.

As such I left a little earlier than normal after my shift on the Chair finished.
