Today was Will's birthday, and when everyone had arrived John produced an enormous chocolate birthday cake that he had secretly brought up the day before. When everyone had eaten a slice or two John generously offered a ten-pin bowling treat for everyone. As we were heading to Plymouth at 7.45 Lawrence sent a message asking if it was too late to come, but nobody saw it. He was really annoyed with himself when he found out next day what he had missed.

We had a great game of bowling, then John and Michael ordered a take-away pizza while the rest played pool. We took the pizza back in the car to eat at Crofters, but someone made the mistake of leaving George in charge of them!
