What a weekend!
We Rollerbladed over to a friends house at around 2pm on bank holiday Monday. I of course left them all in my dust and arrived 20 mins before anyone else!!! heheh amateurs!
Upon arrival we were immediately thrust into the afternoons games, which included the following:
Hoop Throwing (coits?)
Boules
Feed the Goat (Penalty shootout)
Giant lawn darts (stand well clear of Nikala during this one!)
Wine Tasting
Target Putting
Boules (doubles)
Hoop Throwing (doubles)
Then a huge BBQ... phew with around 30 people it was a long long day and the competition was fierce.
I am proud to say I did actually win the wine tasting competition but humbly stood aside for the other joint winner and ....sniff didn't even get a mention during the award ceremony... so I wont be letting anyone win again I can tell you, bah no recognition there! Not that Im bitter at all grrr!
Still I was able to redeem myself in the Boules. Sadly however it was doubles and I was carried most of the way... sigh.
All other events I was out in the first or second rounds, a pretty poor performance all round really. But at least I won the wine tasting! Even though no one else knew!
After a long and arduous day, we finally trudged home after 10pm... we had been competing for over 8 hours!
Still I have one medal hanging on my noticeboard now; the first I've ever had I might add.
