The Rising sun. £4 for a pint of the stuff. Or £2.70 for Orange and soda. That's some bizarrely expensive lemonade. |

I'm of course most sad to be missing the vegetarian option breakfast provided by the work canteen (a hash brown). Cocktails are going to be served at the arrival at the venue at 10:30am. I am missing the obvious carnage that will follow. Chloe ate my hash brown for me. Then managed to lock my computer by repeatedly banging in the wrong password.

I've just had an incoherent message from Chloe that I think says something along the lines of her drinking my quota of alcohol and that she's doing it for the both of us. She seems to be enjoying herself either way, so I assume this will go down as a hit. I, on the other hand, have just had a dandelion and burdock, some popcorn and a cheese triangle. And I'm still wearing my raccoon pyjamas. |

After the last team building day that I missed because of fainting, this friday is our next event. It's clay pigeon shooting and archery. All fun, except I was chatting on the stairs with the chap organising and he said 'well, I almost had you duck-herding, but I couldn't organise the venue for the right date...' Whoa there, buddy - don't just drop into conversation all casual-like that I could have been DUCK-HERDING and that you have just simultaneously ignited and extinguished my dreams that I might be the duck whisperer.

Lean well into the gun, and twist your body to point the sights halfway between where you first see the clay and where you expect to shoot it, "pull", move the gun slowly along the path the clay will take, let the clay pass through your sights, catch up, push past it, pull the trigger, win.

MaliA story time: Back in 2001, the closest I got to clay pigeon shooting was in the back yard of a Thatcherite Methodist Preacher's farmstead in Iowa throwing dinner plates up in the air whilst we took turns at shooting them with a unregistered shotgun. The low hit rate was later discovered to have been because we were using slugs instead of shells. There was also a semi automatic rifle that was pretty good fun to shoot tins with (once we realised nailing the tins to something was a good idea). I ended up there as the night previosu I'd been drinking with his daughter and mentioned that i liked riding horses so that was obliged, too. Great when you've got an 8 pint hangover, it's over 100 degrees and the horse is xenophobic. A few days later, his daughter saved me from a potentially very big problem after explaining to the nice police man that the reason I was naked, in a flooded gravel pit at 2am was "He's British, they do that over there" so I got away with a telling off and information that "the park shuts at 11pm". And then I hopped into the bed of a pick up and we drove home. of a Come to thnk of it, she saw me naked, loads, and before I left she gave me lots of stuff to read about Jesus and God and things, which was very nice. I never heard form her again, since my friend divorced her friend, but she truly was one of the nicest people I've ever met. And then the world went crazy. |
