25th Jul 2024THURSDAY 25th July
A rather damp morning with drizzle being thr forecast for the remainder of the day too.
It was a very pleasant day yesterday. It was my "day off" but that didn't fully work out that way, I had a couple of things I needed to do and then I treated myself to Fish and Chips from Polly's Plaice of Askam ( delicious). I went down to teh shoreline and sloaked up the lovely vies too. In the afternoon I needed to supervise the delivery of a special electris armchair for a good freind of mine. then at 4 got kitted up frl Bowling at teh Little Kings. The team did marvelously well but my performance "was somewhat lacking".
Did you see Ulverston on CHannel 5 at 8pm? Be sure to get it on catchup if you didn]t!
