Operation Hall - almost there

As you can see, Operation Hall is continuing apace. Val has asked me to inform all that she was not wearing any makeup when these photo's were taken. I did point out that the object was to allow all to see the progress so far hall wise - but there you go. Should all be finished by Tuesday, so book a note in your diary. That's if I get time to go a blogging on Tuesday of course.

For the musical amongst you, Ches went to Exeter last night to see the Mothers of Invention. Well, more grandmothers now! She said they were excellent, so thanks for the show lads.

Al stayed overnight here and shifted beds from our sofa bed to the futon with mum at 02.00 hrs this morning!! She should be tired but as I type at 20.45 she is at youth club. Better not be tired tomorrow as we are off to see the Mighty Greens take on Sheffield Utd. We have our fingers crossed. Looks like rain and wind so this will test her mettle for the prospect of a season ticket next season!!!

Had updates from the eastern end of the country, so without further ado over to HR.

"Hiay , its just a quick note and an attachments to show you that I have not lost the knack; in fact I seem to have gained it ! Went shooting today at CGC and decided to try five shots with the Mauser in the standing-unsupported position. That is hard work and I used to hate it. It still made my arms ache after three shots so I rested it a bit ! Yup....'whimp' I can here Podga muttering!

But the picture attached shows that if you ignore the one at the bottom I threw away then there is a nice tight (wait for it) group of 2.5' at 50mtrs range ! So I am relly chuffed. I have found another club at Tidworth and am also joining the NRA so that Nick Coffin and I can go down to Bisley during the week and shoot. It was always something I thought beyond me (like Wimbledon to a tennis player) but it is far more accessable than I realised.

So , happy days and the smell of smokeless powder in my nostrils ! I have attached a picture of the target I took (for posterity) because I doubt I will ever shoot like that again. That Mauser is a beautiful thing to fire though."

So now you know why there is a picture of a bit of paper with some holes punched in. Did you think that was the latest masterpiece to go up in the hall?

Well now it's over to Blue Skies. Val has just shouted up that I have to go now so I will leave you with Podga. I will not mention that Argyle are actually two points above the tractor boys.

"Suffolk Sojourn 39/137. I'm getting this in early, before tonite's results are posted. Tractor Boys sit above Pilgrims purely on alphabetical order methinks at this moment (041855ZMar). Same games played, points and goal difference also the same. So - just in case there is any sulking ie Leon Syndrome (Writers Block)and to evade any sarcastic comments across the ether, I'm getting this to you now - allowing a few days to compose myself before 40/137 appears.

I don't sound too confident do I?Pilgrims host our Essex neighbours Colchester, whilst Tractor Boys welcome Sheff Utd. Man U. have 2nd leg against Lyon (Leon?) BIG NIGHT TONIGHT.(That's enough Footie - HR)

So - Op Hall heads for completion -excellent. Party?

And HR and his Reds are invading the South Coast - blimey! There was me thinking they'd come across from the East to Whitby - their aircraft did. Dad's Army (and I) are packing bergens to yomp down and meet the threat of HR's newly formed Yefrehtor.

Your gig at Hawkwind in Germany with HR - He called it 'Ace'. May I suggest it was because the Wild Child/Dancing Dervish called Stacia took her top off? As she always did - a hint of fullness of breast or what!!

PS - For intelligence purposes, how many in HR's Yefrehtor? I've got 13 to yomp down to meet them head on. We leave after Alberts' had his ECG at Ipswich General on Thursday. Blue Skies (in anticipation/trepidation). Love to Val and you all.Podga "

Actually "Thunder" had a rather nice young lady when I saw them!! I am off to get the milk for Val's hot chocolate!!
