A nice local

I popped round to my local pub last night. It's about a two minute walk, but far enough away that we don't hear any noise from it. And I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! It's got a lounge bar (or 'snug' for those that know that term), a public bar, and at the back a bowling green. Now I know that some of you will think "Bowls? That's an old mans sport" and you are sort of right, but I have a fondness for it as it's my dad's sport of choice (he's actually very good at it). I was lucky enough last night that there was a match on between my local pub's bowling club (called The Nursery) and another team, so I stayed for a few ends (bowling term) watching in the evening sunlight. It was lovely. Of course I partook in a couple of cold refreshments... with the result that I had a little bit of a woolly head this morning. It's a real 'local' kind of pub, and I think if I pop in there often enough, I'll get known as a 'local' seeing as I stand out from everyone else in there with my lack of an accent.

I've still got a big bit of coding to do today, and then no plans for tonight. Then it's Friday, which is always a good thing (especially if you're working from home as I am!)

Have a good day listeners.

I would love to have a local like that but maybe just a darts team instead of bowls.
