Well?
Only a week or so away............
I will, as tradition dictates, pack the car roughly 5 minutes before I'm supposed to leave!
You remind me, I need to sew patches onto my BD.
and do loads of other boooring stuff, I'd best get a move on.

I didn't manage to get the Lanark badge 
The only guy who sells them sent me one with wrong colours (golden instead of red) and apparently it was the last one he had. He won't have any new ones for a few months. Damn.
Kitwhore files: S&S Lee Enfield No. 4, AGM Sten Mk. II, Tanaka Kar 98k, WE Luger P08
Wishlist: AGM Stg44, possible LE No. 4 gas project
Too early for me to get very excited yet. I will sort my gear out this weekend and take it from there.
I have however planned what I am going to wear and I am looking forward to the escape and evasion stuff. Call it a 3 at present.
Cheers

And I look forward to a nice cup of tea while you run about in the dark woods! 
Pffft, too much to do between now and then. -1.

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
Got my beret, got my badge, got my overalls. Actually quite excited.
Can't come and play... a very grumpy 0. 
game written for the numbers, and I like it. Just all the other sorting to do and weather to watch. call it a 6.
-20 no way I can make it now due to cost of mot, currently £300 and rising
building excitement , still not decided on Heer or FJ ,might bring both ,if it rains then Heer with a zelt and if it's dry FJ with a nice cool jump smock.
must start packing....

In truth as soon as a game is announced I move up to at least a 3.5. This can prove difficult with more than one game booked and conflicting excitements. Currently at 8.
Have been undecided but have finally opted for Polish and am about to sew badges and epaulette now. Was going to be US but conceded to the angel on my other shoulder that I could not justify yet more money on another gun (ICS Garand) when there are so few prospective games (upset to have to miss the two other currently announced games). So the Lee Enfields get dragged out which should mean the Germans can sleep slightly easier!
May be down Friday depending on work but will probably leave Saturday night after the night exercise (looking forward to that greatly) as playing cricket on Sunday.

I have a small skewer hidden in the collar of my jumping jacket, and a razorblade in my gaiter, as well as my knife.
I wish the weather would make up its mind, don't know whether to wear a cotton shirt or a wool one, the latest forecast looks promising however.
Now my gear is (mostly) sorted, I'm up to a 7.

The weather does keep bimbling uncertainly about, pack both shirts.
pack both shirts.
I'm not known for travelling light.
I might have to bring three shirts, umm, actually four as I'm going to a family do on Sunday.
I'll be coming down Saturday morning, hope to be there some time before 11.30.

Guess what?
Indeed! FOrgot my stupid batteries!! Second time in a row! Speed charge.....
Had springers on the brain for the last few months......
Somewhere between 6 and 7.......
Have all my kit laid out in bags and I've surprised myself how much stuff there is!
counting bbs into envelopes. 1... 2.. 3... It's actually quite relaxing, getting there now
Don't fall asleep!!
Work done. Just catching up at Elstree, then going to head to Tesco until the rush hour dies down then I'll be on my way! A very busy and moderately stressful week over, I suspect the red wine might make an appearance tonight!
