11:53 - 'O number 2'

imagespoo
'o' As in the 'o' between your buttocks. 'o2' are just a bunch of thieves who do all they can to steal your cash with their long winded automated systems. I've never had so much junk and spam since joining a new network as I have had with O2.
O2 - beware the hidden costs.....
They are masters at the call waiting, and slow s-l-o-w service.
"Of course we can change your pay as you go number to the one you were using on contract...that will take just 9 days sir..."
One call to Orange and 24 hours later I'm using the number I wanted with a better service provider - How can they do that when O2 take 9 days when I am already with them?!
I am now back to Orange who I never had any trouble with. Even though I lost my original Pay as you go Orange sim card (one year ago when I was last with Orange), Orange had me back connected with my desired number in 24 hours.

10:44 - 303 SMLE MkIII*dated 1917. Fulton target bedded


303 SMLE MkIIIstr dated 1917. Fulton target bedded 01, originally uploaded by L.B.

Fingers crossed...if it passes certain tests, this Lee Enfield from WW1 will soon be mine.

For those that know - this is a No.1 MkIII* - although it was built as a III. It was directly upgraded to a III*. It still has the cut off from the III, but has the fore end and sights from the III*.

It is a Christmas present from Chris and Alex. Due to paperwork etc, it was a case of getting it now or never. I've been after a good condition, yet historic and used SMLE for quite some time. This one came up at Fultons of Bisley, and has had the Fultons target bedding carried out. This means it shoots more accurately, yet remains the 1917 rifle that it is. It also means that it has the Fultons promise of quality (or they said they'll make it work!).

For Chris, well...she didn't like having to stop shooting when she was pregnant, so as we plan to expand the family at some point, I am buying here (and it is already on order) a Marlin .357 Magnum chambered underlever rifle. It is light weight and can be used in the standing or sitting position.

70cm long.



Not bad for 21.5 weeks old!

Apparently the nurse who weighed him was concerned that his teeth hadn't started coming though...until they found out he wasn't even 5 months old yet! He's just a big lad!

This is my new Russian/Polish rifle. A 1952 Nagant that has hardly fired a shot. I look forward to finally getting her down to Bisley!

Morning!



Alex is such a happy grinner first thing in the morning.

He does the "shy" thing where he hides his face in his mum's shoulder...and then peeks and starts gurgling and giggling! It does make it very hard to leave for work though...

Alex is quite fond of it, and I must say that so am I! It is so relaxing-you have to try it to believe it.

In other news, there are baby pictures up in the house now. Big ones. They are some A3 blow ups of his early pictures put behind glass. I'm quite proud of them...and he looks great! Heck, I'm proud of him

:-)!
