Turkeys and Merryn's b.day.plus half marathon







Just to catch up in the right order.....Merryn had her 2nd birthday, Sarah baked her a humungous chocolate cake! I spent four days up in Auckland on my Personal Trainer Course learning heaps of new stuff. Then my friend Mel and I trained for an off-road half marathon, we trained really well, then both got ill just b4 running it...We went anyway! It was a pretty tough run, especially for Mel ( first comp. she had done). Next my friend Marty picked me up for a full day of Turkey- shooting. As this year I wanted to provide my own turkeys for my mid-winter birthday party. We headed down to a friends farm...Thanks Kirsten and Paul! eventually finding some Turkeys. Paul stopped the Quad bike, Marty gave me the shotgun and they both said " off you go" I was like aaagh( in my head) i lined up my first victim through the sights and " bang!" first shot I got one. I was a natural...later on I shot 2 birds with one shot! I totalled 5 turkeys and Marty matched it. All in all a successful trip, then we had to pluck them and do all the other yukky stuff. But it was worth it!
