Had to buy a new Toaster as other $139 one lasted 3 years and Shat itself. Now have a $9 Woolies Brand that will probably last 10 years.
Not Bowling today but trips to Paradise Pt and Broadbeach in the morning kept me busy.

Not Playing today but have to see a couple of people re Bowls… Was playing with Brownie but he has to have his dog Nutted so we will be down for next week..
Latif and I today played Paul Ryan and Lasz Marer and had a good game.
I started Great against Paul and we had a good tussle but he got the better or me in last few ends. Latif was on fire and we had a bit of luck throughout and had a good 35-11 win. Got 3rd place with Plus 24… The Opposition never had much luck although Latif played some great shots throughout. George Horley and I had 3 good games.
1st game against Keith Wheeler and Reg Germon. We had a good 19-8 win and played pretty well.. 2nd game against Alan Law and Greg Robbie. We both played fairly well but dropped a 4 and a 6 which was the difference overall. 3rd game against Colin Bray and Andrew Reed. Andrew a new bowler from S.A. Good addition to the Paradise Squad and knows how to play bowls. Great controlled weight and the 2 of them beat us 12-23. Good Days Fun… Very Sore after we finished. 1 Dayers are going to be sparingly played from now on. Might do Paradise and Southport and leave the rest…. Not Bowling Today but went down Club to get a Partner for District PAIRS on 7th October 2017 at Mermaid Beach - Playing with Joe Cacace. Should be a Good Day..
At Southport Bowls Club for 2 People trying out Bowls at 9.00am then off to get some Photos of a Friends Home he wants me to get Photos on Gumtree for him… Busy Day again..
I am not bowling today but will be at Paradise Point 8.15am til 9.ooam to see people regarding Bowls etc.
A Shower in the morning Quickly passed and although Wind was threatened it was actually late morning that it got up and would have made bowls difficult outdoor.. I went to Lunch at Chineese with The Mrs... PARADISE POINT UPDATE The truth was revealed today about the Massive Thrashing handed out by Ralph and Red Over Ray and Sam on Tuesday last. (18-4) In an Interview with Ray, It was revealed that the reason the score was so One sided is that Ray had a Leg Amputated at 11am that morning but still decided that he would bowl as not to let Sam Down. Unfortunately, They amputated the wrong leg and will take the other leg next Tuesday and it will be unclear if Ray will be fit to take to the Green again for the 1pm game. I asked Ray if he will be taking legal action against the Hospital but…….. I don't think he Has a Leg to Stand on !!!!!!!!! Bobby Brown and I Today played Really Good bowls against Robbie Dobbins and Geoff Hawkins. We gave them a game and only a 4 and a 7 we dropped cost us defeat. We went down 20-23 and The 7 I Dropped was after Geoff took out our closest Bowl and I was in 2 minds if to Drive of play a sensible shot. I chose the Sensible Shot and was slightly narrow and I was damn annoyed. Against Anyone else I would have driven the good target and at least cut it down but I did not want to spoil the good drawing we had been doing all day with an irrational shot. Geoff also played a Bomb to get the 4 we dropped.
What a Great Game and Had chance to win on last end too but they got a 1 when we needed 2 for a tie. Bob and I very happy with our games and hope I can play again next Wednesday with him and hope we both go as well.. Back to Leading Today with Latif... I Played very well today and was glad to get back to leading with a good skip. We played Val Jackson and Annie McClure. Was always going to be a hard game. We won the first 6 ends and were 9-0 up but dropped a 3, got a 3 and dropped another 3 so 12-6 after 8 ends. Was really tonight from then and great bowls played all round. We managed to get ahead and stay there dispite the fact they got to 21-17 with 3 ends to go. We won 26-17 in the end and a very Good Game but us all. Green Played very well dispite the fact it was watered the night before. It had run still and was true. PARADISE POINT NEWS Ralph Hunt and Red Edwards had a Brilliant win today in the afternoon PAIRS
18-4 against Ray (Handbrake) Trewern and Sam Granata. It was only a week or so ago that Ray and Sam had a Similar win against Ralph and Red by an incredible 1 Shot. The Surprise of that day was not the actual result. It was the fact that Neither Ralph or Red had a "Ralphie" and even used the correct bowls. A Major Achievement in All Fronts. The Score Card is Currently For Sale and is believed to be sold to the Highest Bidder although Red is going to have it Framed and hung in the Club. I may actually buy it and use it as a Part payment on a Photo of Ray and His Ice Cream !!!! Thanks to The Reporter - Robert (Bob) Brown |
