Another birthday yesterday.....36 years old. Hmmm......

So, I've just crossed over to the other side. I wonder whether they urges I've been having in the last few weeks have anything to do with the early onset of the 'mid-life crisis'?
Nope, no desire for a Harley for me - I don't even know how to ride a motorbike.

No, I've been thinking of learning how to use firearms, handguns specifically and, also, shotguns. Been thinking of paying a visit to the Lone Ranges shooting ranges and taking up onoe of their introductory packages. For $100, I can learn to fire a 9mm handgun, along with a 30 minutes instruction and a specific number of rounds.

I'm interested. Why? I'm not quite sure. I've told myself I may need to know how to use a gun some day, maybe to protect my family, maybe to be ready for any eventuality or emergency. And, perhaps, that's largely true. But, it seems to me I simply - want to.

Naah!

He who lives by the sword dies by the sword. He who lives by the Glock will die by the Glock.....or Desert Eagle, or Walther, or Beretta....

Ok, I know waaaaay too many gun names.

Writing this from Grand Toyota in Wangara while waiting for my car. It seems they're still busy doing the wheel alignment, so I've got time to kill. What a disaster it would have been if I'd decided to stick around and wait. As it is, I hitched a ride on the courtesy bus to Joondalup, got me a mango smoothie and a mini club sandwich for a mid-morning breakfast, sat in the food court and worked a bit on "the novel" (hey, that sounds good to say!), and then walked across to the movies and watched Clash of the Titans. Good special effects, but otherwise a lousy storyline and lousy acting. Interesting theme, though. Are men everywhere being subliminally prepared for the 'Great Rebellion"??

Watch this space.

Tis been a while......sigh. I wish that I was more conscientious in doing this, unfortunately I'm not!!!

Anyway, here I am now. And I don't have much to say right now. Too tired and heavy-eyed.

Maybe in a bit once dinner has digested, and I've had some coffee......

Can't wait for tomorrow evening.....and look forward to 4 days off...Friday to Monday.

Yay.
