Cloud Shooter Extraordinaire

Posted on by

I know it is immodest to brag about one’s achievements but I have to tell someone other than Roland, who knows already because he was there and saw (much to his chagrin) that the arrow dropped from a great height and landed straight into the bucket before jumping out again! Hooray! Yes, it can’t be a fluke – it is my third “hole in one” so to speak; well, I made a hole in the bucket on the first occasion.

Now I must go to the Hyperdome for some non-dieting provisions because my slim friend Lorelle is coming to stay this evening. Think I’ll drive over today but I might take my cycle helmet with me in case I should meet that good-looking John again; on second thoughts, I might just wear a pretty white summer dress instead…

I shall leave you with some photographs of yesterday’s cloud shooting extravaganza in Roland’s garden. By the way, for those of you with poor eyesight, no animals were shot at yesterday (although a few birds had to fly quickly out of the way) and the deer was inedible because he is made of resin.

  1. Oui, c’est vraiment extrordinaire, n’est-ce pas? And I like your “cloud-pleasing shots” of the grand event, provided as proof positive of your remarkable abilities! But can you assure me that no resin animals were harmed in the making of this film? And your shot of the arrow actually in the bucket must be a fake, unless, having unleashed the speeding missile heavenwards, you instantly grabbed your camera-phone and captured the precise moment of contact into the bucket prior to its leaping out, while your host and mentor most unwisely holds the bucket in place to catch it; I don’t think so! But well done anyway – you’re a credit to the rarified world of Antipodean Archery.

  2. C’est vraiment,(en Francais si vous preferez ou en Anglais? Pourquoi pas l’Angais?) there was a bit of jiggery pokery going on for the shots of the arrow in the bucket but the marks were there; the only reason I didn’t show the marks was because there were old leaves in the bottom of the bucket that looked disgusting. Thank you for your appreciation of my small and new-found skill. I had a feeling that at least one person out there might be in awe!

  3. Don,t think I,’ll go walking in your garden without a full suit of armour… Les dangerous..
