Claire organised a bowling event today so myself and John drove down to Hollywood bowl and met Claire, Norm, Jay and Gemma at about 5:30. As usual it took me a game to warm up and I ripped my thumbnail off but on the second game I managed to bowl a 111 which I was fairly pleased with as it was enough to put me ahead of everyone else.
Afterwards we headed over to McDonald’s as I hadn’t eaten and wanted to make use of my discount card before I’m sick of the food. Then finally we headed over the road to the Cardigan Arms and spent the rest of the night drinking. Although personally my alcoholic intake was very much limited due to the fact I was driving.
We set off back and it was dark by this time and raining so it was hard to see. We ended up taking an earlier turning from the inner ring road than the directions said (I blame John he was the official navigator – all he had to do was to read the directions printed from Google Maps) and we ended up on Scothall Road or maybe Harrogate Road, the one that goes past the BMW garriage so luckily I was able to find my way back from there. Just as we got onto Harehills Lane a part of it was closed off so we had to navigate round that as well though. Absolutely conspiracy against us.
I didn’t think it was that much of a detour although when you look at it on Google Earth it looks insane. The route is marked on and we ended up somewhere near Chapel Allerton.
That’s the main reason I hate driving, it’s a killer to try and navigate on our roads, especially when you are trying to concentrate on the road itself and not what route you need to be taking.
