I wuz robbed!

Well, only of a round of applause.

We spent the weekend at Center Parcs. Its a place we nip away too fairly regularly and this time was just as nice. The weather was beautiful, we tried out a new skill - Silk Painting. The GF's results were fabulous while mine were more autistic than artistic but much fun was had. Still, she may have 'won' the silk painting but it seems I've a hidden talent for ten pin bowling so alls fair.

I also spent a bit of time at the archery targets. Its been a while since I shot and these were only weedy little training bows rather than my long bow I have at home. Mind you I racked up what I thought was a fairly reasonable 79 out of 90 in the scoring rounds.

The two arrows in the middle are mine...

So at the end of that we all took a step forward for each '10' we had. As she said 70 I thought "HA!" but 2 of us still stepped forward.. Then the tutor said 80 and the bloke just up from me stepped forward again with a score of 81.

Cue me thinking "He cheated! lied! I was robbed!"

Bah. Oh well, maybe I need to get the long bow out the loft and a target or two in the garden.

Next time... That applause will be MINE.
