Marching onwards and upwards!

I hope I am not tempting fate but Verwood Short Mat Bowling Club are on a high this season. Let's hope it continues!
The Potters have played 8 matches so far and are top of the table with 34 points. The Foresters, who are considered to be the "first team", have played 7 matches and are lying in second place with 29 points.
We are halfway through the season and the two teams have a return crunch match against each other on February 6th.

Films to watch out for in 2009

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

So here we have an X-Men prequel (set 17 years before the last film) where we find out how Wolverine became practically indestructible and grew those fancy claws.

Angels & Demons

Whatever you may have thought about The Da Vinci Code, it still went on to be one of the biggest films of all time. So here we have another Dan Brown tale which finds Tom Hanks chasing around Vatican City looking for something or other.

Goodbye 2008 and hello 2009!

For some 2008 was not the best of years and they are probably glad to see the back of it. So for those people, look forward to a happier 2009.

From a personal point of view there were many happy memories during 2008 and we are looking to an eventful 2009.
We have two major holidays booked, a return to the Maldives in February and Egypt in September.
Squeezed between the two is a short break in Bath for Yvonne's **'th birthday. Visitors from across the Pond in May. My **'th birthday in August and my retirement. Another trip is in the planning stage for December.


To everybody that gets to read this HAPPY NEW YEAR!
