Things That Gladden The Heart

Agility Comp today and Daisy got Most Improved Pup (for me anyway)! First run was her usual mix of good stuff and excitable running randomly anywhere she likes. Next three were so much better and VERY close to clears and may have been if I hadn't got a bit tense as we neared the finish without fault...go Daisy!

Barley had his first competition at his new grade and a steady clear round 3rd place which is awesome.

These comps are long days and we're all knackered, but spending time with my dogs having fun and all learning is just perfect.

I 'acquired' 3 - all married (still!) and producing the next generation now. Great fun, but there was never time for a beer, as they were always either had to be delivered or collected!

Congrats Steve!
 
Day one of our third season as a six aside team that I set up.

The result will dictate if I’m back in this thread or the random irritations later.
 
Been playing lawn green bowling for 6 months. Entered the singles scratch k'out, first singles comp for me and only my third comp.

I'm gobsmacked! After several tough games I'll be in the semi's tomorrow. The last 2 matches, Wed and today have been against two very good players have been fantastic. Wednesday's match went right down to the wire. Today wasn't quite so close but, unlike Wednesday, I had to come from behind to win it.

Tomorrow sees me up against the top player in the club, someone who's trialled for Spain. If I put up my best game I'll still need him to be well off form.

Sorry for the boast but I'm shocked and well chuffed.

As expected, I'm not in tomorrow's final but, my god, it was close.

First set; 7-7(9 ends) = halved.
Second set; 7-7(9 ends) = halved.

The decider is played over 3 ends with only one shot counting per end.

Third set; 2-1 = lost.

A very low scoring game but there was more chalk on the bowls than you see in an average English class!

You'll be soon looking to transfer to a bowls forum Brian - it's been good while it lasted here 😁😁
