From Green to Screen 

Latest Update: January 3rd

Happy New Year to all visitors and contributors. Your interest is appreciated. 

Incidentally, my wife recently renamed the site www.bloodyupstairs.com on account of the time I disappear into my 'study' (the small back bedroom) to spend time working on it.

Now that the festivities are almost behind us (proposed New Year's Eve party was a non-starter due to lack of interest; Annual Dinner Dance still to come), a new playing season beckons. Which reminds me, I need a new tube of Grippo, so that I can give my bowls a polish in readiness. I had intended giving them a polish before I put them away but I didn't get around to doing it, so they remain as they were when last used. Lack of commitment?

Our Annual Dinner Dance is on the 10th at an outside venue that can cater for sixty people. From the outset the event was oversubscribed and there is - or was - a waiting list. Everyone has paid up on time. I've never been to a bowling club dinner dance, this one will be my first. I've been told that quite a few folk wear evening dress, which is a bit over the top, surely? Or do I lack a sense of occasion? My wife will, of course, be quite happy to put on a fancy frock but I'm still toying with the idea of whether or not to wear a tie, an ordinary one and not one of those dead butterfly jobs, and even that is proving to be a difficult because the only time I wear a tie these days is at funerals. I've got a week to make up my mind - about the tie that is, I certainly won't be wearing a diner jacket. At least, I don't think I will ......

Then on Sunday 17th of January we have our AGM which promises to be a lively one as there are a couple of contentious issue although I have yet to receive an agenda, so more about that another time.
