SHOTGUNS
Just a word of warning to other retired people who live on small lifestyle blocks , who are new to this lifestyle and like me didn't know what l have learnt the painful way.
I would hate anyone else to go through the fear and suffering l have ,and are enduring, because they simply don't know what activities are permitted where we live !
Last week , my neighbours used shot guns almost next to my boundary with no warning.
Don't be scared ( like I was ) when I tripped, fell , dislocated my shoulder and fractured it .
It is just a neighbour exercising their right to shoot near you even though you are initially scared shitless.
Police advise this is perfectly legal despite proximity. I had no idea whatsoever this type of activity could occur or l wouldn't have been so scared. Buying lifestyle blocks does not come with this warning. Perhaps it should !
I should clarify I am used to the occasional air rifle nearby shooting rabbits but these guns were on a whole different level.
Harrisons Garden Centre always advise me when they are shooting rabbits so l thought it was law. But it is in fact them just being courteous and considerate. Shooters are not obliged to advise activity , it depends how considerate they are.
So don't be like me ! Don't freak out when you hear loud gun shots closeby. I am telling you so no one else gets a fright and hurts themselves as badly as I did. Particularly when there is no help available due to public holidays.
Photo shows SOME of my injuries , so it is obvious I am not exaggerating.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
