Hi I'm Yea I know I'm Old
Hi Guys, yea, I know it is Friday the 13th but so be it it, I'm older today, than I was yesterday. yep, 58

My darling Alice is so sneaky, I said to her some time ago, don't worry, I have all that I need, but it would be nice to have a 3" Dew Heater strap for the WO 80mm, and that book, you know, the bible, PhotoShop Astronomy.

Anyway it was all good, and this morning when we woke she handed me a very heavy gift, A Huge Book, by Patrick Moore, (The Universe), I was thrilled it is a beauty, and left it at that,

Then to my surprise, while we had our brekky, she handed me the, Dew Heater Strap, and The Bible, Photo Shop Astronomy.

From what I can gather, she contacted Roger at Bintell herself, and some how snuck them into the house with out me knowing. sneeky tart

Gee I love her

Leon
