I think we all enjoyed watching the curling in the Winter Olympics & I think we did so well with a gold & a silver medal.
The curling rink at The Flower Bowl has been very busy ever since.
Not cheap to learn but looks good fun.
Dot & I went to see The Duke starring Jim Broadbent & Helen Mirren. We loved it, a true story but my word it made us feel old seeing how the world lived in 1961. It looked grim!
Three good things:
1. I booked & you know we always choose the back row! Well I must have been in a dream because we sat down in the seats I thought I had booked at the back….we had to move twice as we were in the wrong seats…I went to check & I had booked the front ones! An armchair & footstool but far too near!
2. No one was bad tempered because we were in their seats!
3. Harry had the fire on when I got home, it’s a horrid wet day.
I tried it when we lived in Canada. We belonged to the Newcomers club which numerous clubs to join. It was good fun but hard work if you were brushing! The Duke sounds good. Would the men like it?
I'm a cinema freak…when l get the opportunity…though recently l haven't been enthralled by the films on offer. Nonetheless the variety of the programmes is splendid. Now…that we may be closer to leaving the recent past behind…l'm looking forward to an assortment of visual pleasure.
What fun Pat .. I would love to WATCH it ! Sounds as if you have had a lovely day and back to your cinema with Dot , Ha ha I had to laugh at the commotion you two must have created in sitting in the wrong seats ! .. they must have thought 'poor old dears .'!! Ha ha !,.
@beryl Yes it’s good to watch Beryl, we saw quite a bit last week when we were waiting for our crazy golf slot. Sweeping looked hard work. Yes to the poor old dears but considering almost all of us were over sixty they probably understood! !! 🤣🤣🤣
Curling was played in the bitterness of winter near here some years ago but seems too warm now. My mum told a funny story about falling through the ice at a local pond and that was enough to put us off. The girls did so well at the Olympics and good if it encourages people to have a go!
@sarah19 I do feel curling is a very Scottish sport! The owners if the garden centre are very keen curlers & always had to travel up to Dumfries area to practice so when the built the new entertainment meant centre they incorporated a curling rink. This is very helpful fit the English curlers as rinks are few & far between.
Your mum was a wise woman keeping you away from water!
See you there!
It looks hard work…think I’m a bit past it & it’s very expensive for lessons! Good to watch though.
Your mum was a wise woman keeping you away from water!
Glad you finally found your correct cinema seats. ☺
