Let’s hope we don’t run out of tin foil for the loonies to make hats.
Today saw the quarter final of the gents pairs. My partner, like me, has been playing less than a year. And like me, he has also become a regular of the club's 'B' team, and also has a decent record.
Our opponents; this was a tough one for both of us as one of our opponents had his 92nd birthday today. We both wanted to see him through to the next round but he had to win, it wouldn't be given to him. He's been playing for 55 years. And it was made doubly difficult as he's been telling people it will be his last competition. He'll still do the roll-ups 3 times a week but he is finding comps a chore. His partner has been playing for about 8 years and is a decent bowler.
There was a presentation before the game for 'our Arthur' and there was a huge cake afterwards.
The game itself saw us have a comfortable 20-10 win, in 17 ends - no need to play the 18th end as they couldn't catch us. Saturday's semi-final may well see us at a bridge too far. Our opponents on the day are our respective skippers in our league triples teams. The guy that's skippering against me was crowned club champion last week.

Yeah, got tickets for my home town gig in Newcastle and one for the Sunday at the O2. My brother lives in Uxbridge hence why I'm also going to that gig ?

On a training session yesterday I was asked why I hate the new system we have to work with (Aconex) and I didn't have anything prepared. So today I wrote a list of 17 bullet points and emailed them to her. So, so satisfying.

Was tasked with investigating the possibility of taking £20,000 worth of currently scrap product and converting it into £15,000 of saleable goods this morning.
Spent the first hour listening to the Production Manager telling me that it couldn't be done and that the mods I wanted to make would be too expensive and would damage the line. Fixed the actual issue in the next 2 hours using scrap material and a single washer.
Really enjoyed getting my hands full of grease and oil again. Might be time for a return to the tools again (for the first time in nearly 20 years!)
