Not that I particularly fancy going anywhere where I have to cook but a chance of seeing someone else’s four walls could be the opening we’ve all been looking for. Good Friday is 2nd April (thank goodness it’s not 1st), so not too long to wait. Schools opening 8th March – get the teachers vaccinated, …
Park Lane Stables, Teddington
Think we’d better gloss over this morning’s cricket. What happened? Over confidence? Wales had a great win yesterday which will mean Ian and Luigi will be very happy today but the Scottish contingent will feel robbed. England, however, bounced back with extra verve with their 41-18 win over Italy. Keep it up lads! The Australian …
Bright and Sunny …. but Wrap Up!
Just back from the Saturday newspaper loop and met Tricia G en route, so we socially distanced walked into Richmond before going our separate ways. She is well, jabbed and as fed up with the restrictions as the rest of us! Caught up with both Reg and George on the phone. They are also looking …
Good Luck!
Mike & Tina are moving house today. It’s not raining and it’s not windy which is a plus but it’s not shorts weather either. We wish them good luck today and hope they’ll be very happy in their new home – still in Middlesex, so great for bowling! An email from Ann D yesterday confirmed …
– 21.4 in Scotland. Wow!
We think it’s cold down here. I cannot imagine what -21 C feels like and don’t think I want to know either! How are you? Mixed messages in the news regarding staying at home on one hand and then saying obesity is greatest killer. Wrap up warm and get out for a walk even if …
Centenary Year President and Captain Nominations
So here we are, at the start of the Cambridge Park Bowling & Sports Club Centenary Year and we’re missing two vital roles! Norman has suggested that, you, the members send us your nominations. We have some special matches arranged so meeting, greeting players and officials will be part of the roles, as well as …
Forgot to Mention the Rugby!
The English supporters won’t have minded that I forgot about the rugby yesterday. However, our Scottish contingent must have been leaping up and down with their earned win at Twickenham. On the plus side, the England supporters would have been over the moon with the cricket yesterday and a double century for Joe Root and …
Outdoor Sports and Outdoor Socialising on the Spring Skyline!
That is such brilliant news! Outdoor socialising – hooray – we will be able to talk to our friends face-to-face not down zoom or skype or the like. It also looks good for the outdoor green opening at the end of April – another big yippee! Let’s hope we can get a few weeks of …
Ten Million Vaccines – A Million Dreams
Brilliant news on the vaccine front. 10 MILLION! Is anybody in the club still waiting to be done ?! It’s also brilliant news that it seems to prevent one from spreading the virus. That is essential if we’re to get out of this hole. It made me thing of the song from The Greatest Showman …
100 Laps, 100 Years, £39 Million, The Chapter Closes for One Remarkable Man
I guess the news about Sir Captain Tom Moore departing this earthly world yesterday was not totally surprising. It would have been more than remarkable to beat pneumonia and Covid at any age, but it was just one step than he didn’t make. What he did leave was the opening for many others to follow …
