CCF Trials - Day 2

I was so busy with the trials that I never made a post for Day 1. I had meant to last night, but Portia and Delia were hashing over what happened at the first day trials, and it took awhile to get Portia calm sort it all out. So I was up late, but I never had a chance to put quill to parchment.

We had four group exercises today, but the groups were not the same every time. There was some confusion after lunch, because we started out the third exercise and then stopped five minutes in because one of the examiners (the very curious lady--she kept asking question--dressed in pink, with the brooch of the kitten that kept meowing) switched several people around, which meant the exercise seemed a bit off kilter. We were all starting at different times, which I don't think was the original intention. But Gareth Archer said it would give us a chance to show how well our group could show, even with a disadvantage. That cheered us right up, and so we did! We came in first place on that one. We managed to find the all of the clues, even the two we had to trade with other teams to find. That was probably the high point of the day for me.

Several people seemed rather cross at dinner. I hope they get a good night's sleep, because we're expected to be up early for the flying examination.
