Things That Gladden The Heart

Today's run of games against the Captain, the 3rd game, was in a pairs comp. Him and his brother against me and another relatively new bowler. 4 bowls each, 18 ends. We were 22-11 up with 2 ends to play. They then scored 2 on the 17th end meaning the best they could score was 21 against our already posted 22. They conceded and shook hands.

3-0 up before our final game tomorrow, a singles quarter final 4 bowls each.

0-3 up after one end, and 3-3 after two ends. Then went 5-3 down. Probably my best ever game of bowls, and a 5-21 win.

Played 4, won 4.

And HID got her first comp win yesterday in a pairs comp, again with a new bowler.
 
My BiL got a job - in Malta - starts tomorrow until mid-September, then possible contract extension. Made Mrs Hogie more than happy/relieved as means we can visit her mum without worrying about how moody her brother will be. And - sad as this may sound - he won't be around for her mum's 90th in May (he would only have made it difficult for everyone)
 
All you plumbers and DIY aficionados can rip the :poop: out of me as much as you want because I dont care.
The handle sheared off the loo cistern last night so off I toddled to Wickes to get a replacement which has been duly fitted by my own fair hands - without drama, breakage, flooding or pain to myself and, coming from someone who considers DIY to stand for Destroy it Yourself and is to DIY what Cyril Smith was to hang gliding, is something of a miracle along the lines of raising Lazarus
I have achieved today.
Today is a good day
Rip away.....it will bounce off:LOL:

Received a letter recently saying that interest on a savings account was being reduced. We weren't aware that we had a savings account with this particular bank, I rang them and checked - oh yes we did many moons back and a couple grand winging it's way to us

Moral - dont ignore tell tale signs like this letter ??
