Well, it's 9.00 p.m. Tues 21 March as I write -- the last few hours of my 50th birthday.
I did very well -- the latest hardbacks from Dean Koontz, Clive Cussler and my first favourite, Stephen King; some nice cabernet sauvignon; some cash ; a pair of RM Williams moleskin trousers (a size bigger than they used to be, but, hey ....)
Then my wife gave me her present -- a birthday card. Inside, it said (among other things), "Sorry I couldn't collect your present, but Mr Alexander has it".
It had me stuffed, until ... bingo! I realised that Perth's best gunstore is "Roy Alexander and Sons". Di had been in and organised a new over-and-under 12g for me!!! She couldn't collect it because of our gun laws -- in fact, it'll probably be another week or so before I can take possession (if the police don't kick up about it).
My wife isn't a keen shooter herself -- but she knows I am. Gotta love her -- she also knows I would never have bought myself a shotgun, 'cause of the expense.
Oh, well ... just had to share that with my friends. Another glass of red and I'm off to bed.
Goodnight all ...
