I took Diana to shop in St Ives whilst I went to Theoben Engineering for some accessories for my new Rapid-7 air rifle and then set up the rifle later. I made plans for another Thetford shooting lesson in the morning and to see some German Short-Haired Pointer Puppies near Norwich afterwards
I awoke early again this morning and went out to try and shoot another pigeon to have for tea. Despite trying quite hard I did not manage to get one. It was amazingly mild again and the collared doves and wood pigeons had plenty of food in the fields and so had no real reason to come to feed here. They have also got a bit wise to my antics and the three I have taken and three more I had hit would no longer be available to come back anyway. I gave up and had breakfast with the family, resumed for a while and then packed up before the gardener arrived. Later, I took Diana to shop in St Ives whilst I went to Theoben Engineering for some accessories for my new Rapid-7 air rifle.

We enjoyed lunch there and came back via St Neots Police Station where I obtained a couple of Firearms Certificate Application Forms. Diana went off to her classes this afternoon whilst I used the new equipment to set up the rifle. Some urgent correspondence this evening and arrangements made to have another Thetford shooting lesson in the morning and to see some German Short-Haired Pointer Puppies near Norwich afterwards. Still very mild this evening as I did some of my packing ready for the morning.
