Well it’s arrived But I daren’t open it as “she” is on the prowl 😬 She’s going out tomorrow evening. Phew! 😂 Hum, you need to encourage her to get out of the house more, have you considered buying her a pony? I gather they can be quite time consuming.
Thinking about it owning up to Gear Acquisition Syndrome may be the better option, just think how much you will save on horse shoes.
I wonder if Nige (dream police) could get discount on horseshoes... |

I had just retrieved it from the garage and was sneaking towards the hallway…when she appeared. Like a bunny in headlights I froze and slid it onto a shelf behind me.
She’s gone upstairs…!! So I’ve hidden it behind the sofa. I wanted to catch the last hour of daylight! Bugger
It’s gonna take a while to unwrap, it’s covered in bloody bubble wrap.

If you don't like my first idea, tell her you got her some bubble wrap, I believe small amounts are sold at elevated prices as 'tension sheets'. I expect she will soon be begging you to buy more and as we know each pack of tension sheet includes a free camera or lens as a mistry gift. Win win situation. |

Lol,
If she’s under tension I’m not hanging about!!
The last few parcels she’s intercepted, when quizzed I told her you fine chaps had sent them out for me to try. She’s highly impressed with the level of trust we have in each other and has told work colleagues all about it.
I think I’ve made a grave error (grave seems to be the apt word of choice)
She’s asking when I need to send them back and. “Careful” if you damage it we’ll have to pay.
Oops, can I climb out of my hole please, I think it’s deep enough!!

I bought 50 sqM of bubble wrap last week, pop that lot and I should be really chilled. |

I had at least 10 'tension sheets' worth delivered today with my e-bay job lot today. My wife saw the delivery so I'd better leave the bubble wrap for her. While the 3.5 hours cataloging it all has done wonders for my own stress relief - especially as I found loads more bits I'll find useful than I'd spotted in the photos. IMO that was £10.50 rather well spent!  Oh yes, to keep it on topic it did have 3x PK caps & a m42-T2 adapter included among the 100+ items. |
