The Isaac Newton oub has one of those bowling video games and, up until yesterday, I was pretty pants (Lou, of course, is good at it). Last night, Lou asked if I wanted to have a game or two. Due to injury to right-hand (sustained burying poor Fidget) I was playing left-handed.
Not only did I get a 'turkey' for the first time ever, I actually managed it twice :-0
This lead to an unbelievable score of 230 points! I'll say that again, 230 points! :-)
That's the second-highest ever recorded on the machine and only 5 points off Jim's all-time record. Can't help but think that if I was able to hit a few of the pins that eluded the first bowl then I'd have beaten him (that said, I'd have settled for a decent score and, never having got past 200 before I was quite happy with that).
Interestingly, it turns out that Lou is a bit of a poor loser: she insisted that we play again as she wanted to beat me but unfortunately she didn't. I won by one point on the last go :-)
