This week when I was at military science class we were taught pepper-potting, which I've done before. Everyone who was in the army knows what pepper-potting is, but if you haven’t had that privilege then just remember that it’s the most basic training any army can provide. It’s one foot on the ground while the other is moving.

Anyway, it’s all about speed and aggression and throwing your body onto the ground to avoid getting shot. It’s very fun, but the Americans weren’t very good. Traditionally I haven’t been very good at this either, but since I’d done it before I was good by default. It was cool! I did the mean potting – everyone thought I either was hard-core or crazy.

Everything else has been pretty boring. Work, work and more work. I’ll talk to you guys when I’ve got something to talk about.

Cheers

Margie

Pepper potting is fine as long as the ground is dry. Pepper potting is not fine in mud. And with that profound comment I will finish! - Mums advice.
