Sailor supervising fence fixing yesterday. Related: Main dog activity today, absconding. One for Sailor, mainly following Meechoo’s bad example. His score, four in about an hour. Fixed fences, broke new holes, now I suspect he’s just going under the gate. He was straight back to escaping after getting him back in. Gave up and kennelled him after the fourth time. Twat.

Martini moment with Sailor. Dirty glass.

I’m convinced the bloke with a hook for a hand is an actor. It’s like the film Rat Race where bored rich blokes bet on increasingly ridiculous things just to see what they can get away with. “Let’s make him an absolute pantomime villain.” ”Give him an eyepatch and a hook for a hand.” ”loloololloll. Nobody will go for that surely.” ”hahahaha. Let’s just bally do it.”

The year is 2006 and your author is seventeen ish and working in an outdoor shop. I was sent to Luton for a week to sell woolly hats off a barrow in the Arndale centre. It was boring as hell and I was glad to pass the time chatting to anyone who had the time. One bloke must have spent two hours telling me about how he was being watched, how the security services had it in for him, how the police were corrupt etc. The bloke in question was pretty brown and pretty talkative. Only occurred to me a couple of years ago that I might have had a brush with fame.

I swear by the thin, pearly white ones for directing traffic like a Japanese policeman.

I can never see or hear any phrase about something being banned without thinking of Human Traffic. What a great film.

Reciprocity and solidarity. I’m OK though. I’m not badly affected by pet deaths. I was Meike’s number one person for eight years ish and I was basically pleased when she died. No more suffering. Remember the good and move on. Have wondered how close a bond I’ll develop with Sailor over the years. Cat is still with us but dad and I had a digger today so made use of it in expectation. Rock hard ground here. Kubota U10-5. Nice machine, strong and fast tracking, getting on and off like being a magician’s beautiful assistant on the sawn-in-half-in-a-box trick.

Yep. Both Pedretti. I remember mine as having longer barrels but that could just be bad memories. I didn’t have a big enough coat at the time to get the full benefit from it. I patterned mine and it seemed normal at the time but bear in mind I’m not very serious about shotguns. Mainly used it in lieu of an air rifle while I didn’t have one and where I didn’t want to use the rimfire. Sitting rabbits to thirty yards ish. Anything moving was pot luck. I’m rubbish with shotguns. No sense of art.

I did explain... I can do it with different words but it will be fundamentally the same explanation.

I’ve twice bought one of those brilliant hushpower 410 folders and twice sold them for underuse. One would probably come in handy for the inevitable arrival of rats (following the indeterminate arrival of chickens) though. Perhaps third time lucky.

Anyone else want in on a bulk deal on cats with me and peds? I’ve just dug a hole for an old one.

I’m back to your first idea. A semi auto pistol, empty the clip and let slip the chooks of war. 4m shots are surprisingly difficult btw. You think you need to hold under because you’re closer than your zero (probably). You actually need to hold over because you’re so close that your boreline hasn’t met your sightline (probably a scope quite high off the bore) yet. Unintuitive.

A garden gun is a 9mm shotgun. You need a cert, they’re silly long and only about as powerful as a Thai massage. Pre charged pneumatic air rifles are lovely, lovely things. Lightly armour the danger area, peanut butter for bait and choose which ear you want to put the pellet in. Plus plink at little spinning targets, things that go ding etc.

On vomit, we recently drove through the North York Moors. I enjoyed the fast little roads. Sailor didn’t and relocated his breakfast to the door pocket of the van. Haven’t had the guts to properly clear it out yet. I suspect I will regret this lax approach to maintenance the next time I need a cable tie or some blue roll and instead find a chunk. Dogs are mint…

IMG_3708.MOV Sailor enjoying a rabbit for the second time. I lead poisoned it, he ate it. We went for a drive and he abandoned it in the boot of dad’s car. Was in pretty good order so put it in a bowl and he was only too pleased for a second chance. A friend counselled, “Well they don’t have pockets do they.”

Rimfire. This one LR. WMR and HMR also available. I’d have preferred an air rifle to be honest but they’re bigger, heavier and more expensive. Might investigate shorts or CB caps for this.

I’d like to say a custom made Gozzi Junior but in fact a Chiappa Little Badger. £100 and I class that as not underpaying.

Parents are fostering this lovely fellow. Mee-cho. Pronounced mee-sha, as in Russian ish sounding name. Paperwork said caucasian shepherd. Mum reckons it’s a bohemian shepherd. Very much bearier than Sailor, including head shape. Who knows. Likes belly rubs and sitting in cars.

I’ve recently renewed my longstanding love for irons. Gashy plastic ones but they work well enough that I can use them for a bit while I work out what I want to replace them with. Rifle is an absolute sweetheart. I’ve left a rail on to try a long eye relief pistol scope a mate has for me but irons really do seem right.

How did you do it? I have some vague plan in the back corner of my brain to do it with Riddles.

That’s why your chipper “randomly” stopped working.

Still haven’t tried it. Seemed a lot of pans.
