Today, as Ruben was off and Erwan had finished working a bit earlier, we decided to make the most of the (for once) friendly Irish weather and take a stroll down the streets of Athlone.

We went to the city’s bowling alley and even though the place was almost empty, it seemed to us we could hear the crowd cheering at our strikes, spares and numerous throws …..in the gutter.

However, we didn’t go there for the glory or for any recognition whatsoever but for the sole sake of having a good moment together, and the fact is that we eventually managed to do that.

No sore loser, the three of us shook hands and walked back home on this lovely winter day.

More soon…
