Probably mostly archery, and most of that 3D archery.
Expect also general guff.

A thing I, and the other folk with Dutch license plates in the German supermarket car park learned today.

Today is a German public holiday.

A Glenmoriston woman awoke to find a young Bengal tiger in her house. It leapt 16ft across the room at her before being chased outside. It had escaped from a menagerie at Brahan Castle, some 40 miles away.

It was reported "to have done considerable mischief"

It's another Dutch General Election. This'll be the live feed to follow.
Our public had demanded it. We are live tweeting (posting?) election day.

I'm going to have to treat myself to a new quiver. I've had the current one about 13 years now, and it's wearing out bad. I also had a fall at the weekend, which may have aggravated that.

Back from an ace weekend in one of my favourite places, Dahlem in Germany's Eifel region.

Arrived in Germany for a weekend of shooting and shenanigans with the Eifel Bowhunters in Dahlem.

But first, scran. Proof that I occasionally eat a salad and apologies for the tomato ketchup on the chips, they didn't have broon sauce.

Getting my stuff together for a trip to Dahlem in Germany with The Eifel Bowhunters and came across this leftover from the May shoot.
Heh, it would be rude not to.
