"Weather is on the decline" never knew it could make a profit

Hello

According to what I have read online that late April and early May there will be a return to cold weather and even a chance of snow in Scotland.

Thanks Prof for the links they make interesting read. It has been quite a long time since I last visited North Yorkshire. I really enjoyed myself in York as it is not spoiled like many cities with heavy traffic and very high buildings (I am bit like a hobbit as I do not like noisy places or very high buildings) and there are so many historical places to visit. I never got to see the steam train museum.

Today I had a very good out when I went out with a group of people to indoor ten pin bowling in Romford which was organised by the Thurrock/Havering Family MOSAIC.

as long as you didn't bowl overarm

The last time I played cricket was in the 70's during one of my school's PE classes. It was a game between girls and the boys where I was bowled out through a ball striking my left ear which was very embarrassing. I don't know how many runs I managed or who won by I know it was very close. I was quite good at rounders and I found playing cricket a lot easier than rounders.

We had a teacher who would make us play cricket. HE would bowl and we would duck!!

I have had that playing cricket is a good way of making it rain.

I have heard that playing cricket is a good way of making it rain.

A favorite boyhood moment, my PE class was playing a game of baseball, I was getting rather tired of the game and being out in the full sun was making me feel uncomfortable.

(I'd picked up a sunburn at the beach the weekend before.)

I noticed a loose thread hanging from the ball, calmly walked out to the pitcher's mound, placed the ball in the pitcher's hand with what I figured was just the right presentation, walked back to the batter's mound, held the bat in what I figured was just the right presentation, made a hit, simultaneously breaking the bat and sinning the ball, which, while the skin went one way, fell inside the lines of the baseball diamond, unravelling as it bounced and rolled, leaving a trail of string behind it.

[True Story]

'sinning' should have been 'skinning'.

Thanks for sharing your story ITIWBS of your experience of playing baseball. My mother who lived in Northumberland played a ball game similar to rounders which was softball as well as shinty when she was at school in the twenties.

Skinning sounds like sinning to me
I'll not tell though!

Hi Lofty, long time no see mate. Hope all is well, especially in health first

...and next, I calmly walked around the baseball diamond, touching each base in turn and returned to home plate...

Wow! Way cool!!

Sometimes "sinning" is just the right thing to do!! (??) Wiked!!

When I was a young child of 6 or 7 when I said I have done a mistake, I would say I have done a steak.

My pet cat Simba is lying on my pajamas, I think would like a pair to wear for himself. When I went into my bedroom, he winked at me.
