A funny old week
... like most things to be honest!!) but the import charge on wine is 58%...... makes you appreciate the Waitrose special offers!
The monthly bowling night next arranged by Andy & our friend Rodney. Food at Franks bar before the bowling, then I scored my record of 120 which I was very pleased with. One guy scored 208…… beat that!! A great turn out again of nearly 30 people, and drinks afterwards. We’ve got to know the owner ...

Echt prachtig al die afgewerkte binnenkoertjes die allemaal namen hebben zoals: plaats van de superieure ...
Beijing 5: Serenity, now! (aka Riding the Rails)
... to a couple of temples nearby, getting lunch and then scooting over to the train station to catch my overnight to Xian. Sounds simple. Deceptively so, apparently.
