Gamo CFX Royal ... My story

Gamo CFX Royal ... My story so far(long read!)

Hi all, the names Naz. I was born at a very young age and now cleverly disguised as a responsible adult ! I just thought I would share my experience and thoughts on my particular air rifle. Now, it must be said that this post will not prove useful to most or even seem to have a point to it. There will be tons of hyperbole,fragmented sentences and much to my spellcheckes dismay, spelling and grammatical erros. You have been warned.

My experience with air guns is very limited; in fact, I can count on one hand the number of air guns that I have owned in my lifetime. My very first air gun was a Daisy revolver, model 179 that I received when I was around 8-9 years old. I used to carry that gun with me everywhere and literally shot it to pieces. In the end, it was held together with hanger wire, tape and a bastardization of mismatched screws and bolts. Eventually I gave up trying to fix it and trashed it in a fit of rage one day, much to my regret now!
It looked like so:

Signs for a people who are wise

Signs for a people who are wise

“Behold, in the creation of the heavens and the earth;

In the alternation of the night and day;

In the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of humankind;

In the rain which Allah sends down from the skies and the life which he gives

Therewith to an earth that is dead;

In the beasts that he scatters through the earth;

In the change of the winds and the clouds which they trail like their slaves

Between the sky and the earth;

Here indeed are signs for a people who are wise. Quran 2:164

Bird photography

Bird photography 

Just random bird photographs taken over the last couple of weeks. Recently, I have been inundated by a flock of Red billed Quelea's that have taken residence close to my home. They are really interesting to watch as they are extremely gregarious by nature and are constantly jostling and bickering  with each other. Also, the variety of colors they come in are amazing, red headed breeding males, pink headed juveniles and drab brown females. 

Most images were taken with my Canon SL1 (100D).

Things that bring about happiness

1. Good deeds:
" Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he [or
she] is a true believer [of Islamic Monotheism] verily, to him We will
give a good life [in this world with respect, contentment and lawful
provision]...} (Qur'an 16: 97)

2. A pious wife:
 'Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring who will
be the comfort of our eyes... $ (Quran 25: 74)

3. A spacious house:
 The Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him)
said: "O' Allah, make my house spacious for me."

4. Sustenance that is derived and earned through honest means:
 The Messenger of Allah (bpuh) said:"Verily, Allah is Tayyib (good and pure), and He does
not accept other than what is good and pure."

5. Good manners and a spirit of fellowship with people:
'And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be... " (Quran 19: 31)

6. Being debt-free and not being a profligate spender:
"And those, who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor
niggardly...^ (Quran 25: 67)

"And let not your hand be tied [like a miser] to your neck, nor stretch
it forth to its utmost reach [like a spendthrift]..^ (Qur'an 17: 29)
