Posting back in the gardens just didn't seem right.. because Prixca wasn't there.

Prisca was the last one to wake up out of the five. It had been sunlight for quite some time before she walked out of her room into the main eating area where Merry, Pippin, Sam, and Frodo had already dished out food.

"We were wondering if you had left the house," Sam remarked.
"Ha Ha," Prisca commented, unamused.
"We have some food here for you," Pippin diverted the conversation, motioning to the plate next to him.
"Thank you," Prisca noted humbly and sat down at the space provided.
After a few moments, Prisca finally blurted out, "You all talk really loud."
"Well.." Frodo responded, "We figured you would never wake up if we didn't, and we didn't exactly want to dash into the room and spray water all over you."
"I thank you for that," Prisca smiled.

The conversation led on for a little while longer. Each of them had finished their meals in their own time. Prisca learned that the fieworks were stashed and the next motive was to create havoc at the swimming pool. Sam, somewhere in the mix, commented, "So.. this is what you have to do at parties? Create havoc." All of the other four agreed, and Pippin even thanked Sam for agreeing with his comment.

Sooner than later, they were off, to the swimming hole. Each brought an extra change of clothes. Prisca found herself lucky that Frodo had been able to find old outfits of his past female relatives that didn't look too shabby.

(To the swimming hole!)

This may be mostly all to the good link – after all, the single biggest danger to any mechanical watch is its owner (or worse, an incompetent watchmaker). link But being able to adjust something as fundamental as winding rotor link performance is a satisfying additional feature and one that, while perhaps not strictly necessary, does let you get out of a watch what you should get out of a watch, which is having fun.
