The game of bowls

I'm playing my first singles match tomorrow at our local indoors bowls club - Nervous ? - Not a bit - Apprehensive? - Not a bit - Telling porkies? - Just a bit
I'm sure it will be a great game and for any one out there who thinks 'It's a game for old men' as I once did - Think again - I only wish I'd taken it up 20 years ago
So anyone who fancies a go - Get yourselves to Hornsea Indoor Bowls Club, Atwick Road, Hornsea. Where you will be made very welcome by all - There's also a licensed bar and they serve food
I'll let you know the out come tomorrow.

Hands up


I apologise to all who read this - If I hadn't rattled on about how glorious the weather was yesterday I wouldn't have put the mockers on today's weather - It's perishingly cold today in Hornsea - Not sure what it's like inland ? But I certainly went back to my winter woollies this morning


No problems with dog owners today though so that's a blessing - I went in search of vandalism & graffiti this morning around our small town and I have to say there was very little - In fact the only bit I found was on the sea front - which only requires a quick lick of paint with a roller and the villains will soon get fed up - ha ha ( Oh I only wish )


The rest of the town looks rather good - The Memorial Gardens is now complete with new paths and fencing and is ready for planting up - Elim Lodge Gardens look very nice with it's new walls, fences and flower beds.I also strolled through Hall-garth park again, which is still very wet underfoot - However it looks very neat and tidy apart from the proverbial take away cartons strewn all over from last nights drunken feast - The cartons must be very heavy though because they can't seem to lift them into the bin - Indeed one young man said to me "The council picks them up in a morning so it doesn't matter" - Wait while he's paying for it - he''ll change his thinking then - Won't he ?


Ah well - although it's chilly outside - It's nice and cosy in here and I've a warm feeling in my heart cos spring is in the air and that means long balmy days and new life - Keep well until next time
