Gutter Balls
Posted By Kathleen David on October 21, 2008
I have had bad nights of bowling before. And last night wasn’t too bad for the first game but the last was just a series of bad ending with me tossing the ball into the gutter two times. That is something I haven’t done, outside of practice, in years. Didn’t matter, we lost that last game by quite a bit. One of my teammates had not been there before last night and she did pretty well considering it was her first time on the new lanes. I just have to stop trying to play an outside line on the lanes because, with the new oil patterns, I am in the gutter more than riding the rails.
Tomorrow is paper recycling but we have a chance of showers so just putting paper out doesn’t work. I guess I’ll have to pull out the extra barrel and lids for all boxes and stuff that we have acquired in the past two weeks. We have gotten a number of FedEX and other packages from various places. Each comes in a box. Many have packing material included.
Today I have a few things I want to get done and then get started on the costumes for Halloween. Ariel wants to be a flapper and Caroline wants to be Spidergirl. I have cloth and patterns for both. I may wait on the Halloween decorations until I know it is going to be dry or I might just suck it up and finish putting them out. I need to get some colored floodlights for the graveyard. Not as many houses decorating this year as last year.
I am grateful for having at least one good game last night to keep my average about where it is now.
Yesterday was recycling day here. Next Tuesday is garden/green waste collectin day.
Gee, bad luck at the bowling alley last night. There’s always next round.
We don’t celebrate/observe Hallowe’en here. However I have the fabric for Brooke’s Yr10 Formal gown (26th November) that I have to make after my 2 exams in mid November. I picked it up in Singapore in May. Beautiful electric blue shantung silk shot with hot pink. The skirt has godets of the shantung and blue silk chiffon, the underskirt has godets of blue and pink silk chiffon.
