Bowls arrive from an unexpected source

After 8 weeks I gave up on ever receiving my new bowls from the Melton Mowbray shop so we went to a shop in Peterborough who had a vast stock and a practice rink. We finally returned with a set of bowls,a carry case and some J stickers.

I am very pleased with my new purchase and my game has improved considerably, noted by other club members and myself.

I even managed to win a few games.

Over exercise again.

By sheer accident I found myself undertaking a gym session in the morning and my first outdoor bowling match in the afternoon, both were exhausting. So much so it was as much as I could do to finally haul myself into  bed for an uninterrupted night's sleep. Outdoor bowls is considerably harder than the indoor version, particularly when I am still having to use a borrowed set of bowls as my ordered new set still has yet to arrive.

Arsenal win ! I feel good

Having been on the losing side 6 out of the last 8 games Arsenal and I enjoyed a win last night, keeping our very faint hopes of European football next season alive, a real boost for us both.......and the sun is out again. Based on my greatly improved mood over recent weeks/months I intend launching a new campaign to get off these damned anti-depressants  and to get my life back. My consultant suggests the decision must be made by my suicide nurse who suggests the exact opposite,hence my decision to begin the slow weaning off process myself, two weeks ago. Given the amount and the  variety I am currently on the process will be slower than a tortoise on stimulants, but so be it.

Easter

I felt very unwell yesterday and resorted to bed for the day, with the result I felt fine today. Typical for Easter the weather changed for the worst, cold and wet. Not so Good Friday.

Over excercise?

I felt posively knackered after all that exercise,so much so I opted to relax in bed for the day.it was more physical than mental, unlike previously. I will need to be more careful in future.

Gym and bowling

A busy day with gym in the morning and bowling in the afternoon. No sunshine today and cooler than recent days.

Ureka moments at bowling

My first "real" bowling match ended in a 4....4 draw and I played very well, as confirmed by many of the

U3A players . Naturally I was very pleased and proud. Special thanks to Stuart for his excellent coaching and extreme patience.
