Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I got binned from work, was contemplating lamping but I fed the dogs a big meal at 21:30 so a bit too close for my liking. So I'm emptying a bottle of Pinot Grigio instead. I stopped drinking at 11 30 my mate had big argument in pub so had to leave lo, Pinot Grigio that's for women I swear Haha I'm happy to be called a woman for appreciating a nice wine. That's gone now anyway. Jack Daniels time now. I try not to do pubs. Too much hassle. Better off at home with TV and snoring dogs. Lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like banks of cloud blowing across with a clear dark sky, just a case of timing, solid cloud lights it up to much imo. Retired though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leegreen 2,254 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just got back from a shine, waiting for some very expensive tripe to defrost 6 bunnies from my very clever slow dog . 6 bunnies round here is a good night lol can't wait to move what dog shee you running as in what cross 6 bunnies is good around here, so far it's the best she has done, problem is she missed about twice that . Saying that this was the 4 or 5th time she's been, she's a bushing bitch really. 1 was out of the seat, all the rest were caught in the cover and the fields were firm, flat and fast. All were retrieved live to hand. So all in all not bad, apart from something else she missed, but hey ho can't catch em all . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leegreen 2,254 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just got back in for a couple of hours with the pack. Can't beat a windy day for bushing. The vermin can't here you coming. Fed the mutts, get my head down for a few hours and out again this evening. You've got to seize the opportunity, good weather, no moon, don't always happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
