We went bowling tonight and had a great time. We formed four teams, three of six people and one of seven. Mo played badly tonight, which is strange as she was very good the last time we went, and got more than one strike! For those of you who haven’t been, a strike is when you knock all the pins down in the first of two hits.

I played right-handed tonight which was an improvement. The last time I went I had a bad elbow and had to throw the ball with my left hand. That was a laugh in it’self but I managed to knock some pins down anyway. This time I was very pleased to come third out of six. I hasten to add that I was only pipped, by two points, for second place. There’s life in the old girl yet :O)

There was a few backward balls though Ha ha ha! The first of these was from Mo which made us all chuckle, the second was from a young chap, the ball went flying backwards and we all had to stop it with out feet. You’ve guessed, the third was me :O) They are heavy and you can’t put your fingers in too far in case they get jammed in and you break your fingers when you throw it with force. Either that or you go flying down the ailse with the ball firmly attached and land amongst the pins at the end. Not a nice thought. So you hold it loosly and it flies off as you throw your arm back to take aim!

I thought about taking my camera but forgot. Probably just as well as people would say I put them off if they missed a strike!

It was a fun night and hope it’s not too long before we go again. I think it’s usually about £6 per head but David managed to get the price down to £3:50 per head! A bit of the old blarney worked wonders there :O)

Stumble it!
