Today was our third visit to Kettering’s Thunderbowl to show-off our Bowling talents. Paul and Sue joined us to add to the competitive atmosphere!
In spite of the very wet weather, a lot of other people had the same ideas as us today, and it was a lot busier than we remember it. In fact, the added numbers added a good vibe to the overall experience and the whole place felt more alive!
We were allocated Lane 10, with a large group to our left consisting of three generations of the same family, whilst on our right were (what seemed like) professional – or at least semi-professional – individuals doing some very clever things with their shiny balls! 😉.
Whether it was being surrounded by other groups displaying such enthusiasm and skill forced us to ‘up our game’, I don’t know, but we all had our moments today. We managed three ‘games’ of 10 ’rounds/frames’ (crikey! I even sound like I know what I’m talking about now!) and although we all thought some of the pins were fixed to the floor with blu-tack! 🙄, we enjoyed the experience!
Normally, anything sport-related goes together like strawberries and err… chips with me, so no-one was more surprised than I was, that I came out top in all three games. Surely a coincidence, or a five-leaf clover in my pocket somewhere – who knows?!?! 😊
We finished around 2pm (mainly because we were hungry AND our bowling arms were almost falling off!). We headed for our table at The Olde Forge where we enjoyed a really tasty late lunch. I wonder if I’ll be as skilful the next time we visit Thunderbowl?
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
