    Had Pip down the river trying to find this pheasant but he was a no show. Now that the maize is harvested on the other side of the river the fat hua is probably over there scoffing up large.

    On the plus side I managed to keep Pip up where I wanted her to flush him back over me as he flew across the river. Well that was the plan anyway.

    Coming home at 1830 there was a two legged female walking up the road in the dark

    Said to the "Mrs she might need a ride" ......"FO eat your dinner" was the answer

    River tomorrow might get a trout if no birds.

    You should have said "she might need a lift". Ride implies a whole different meaning to the Mrs.

    I am not an advocate for violence Toby but I hope you clipped his ear.

    Was that the big boy near the maize? Nearly punch-up material hahaha!
