Day 126 - Whose Line Is It Anyway?

The joints were creaking this morning when it was time to get up... my 5th round in 4 days... Not easy getting up and I was soon behind the clock. Fortunately the American School in Cobham must have started its summer holiday break, as the roads from home to the Club were much emptier than they have been of late. This meant that despite the tardy start, I arrived in time for this morning's match against Blackmoor.

We had been soundly trounced in the away fixture and the team was therefore well motivated to deliver a victory. My playing partner Phil and I had a classic match: never was there more than one hole in it either way and our win was delivered by the last putt on the final green. We therefore managed to sneak through by 1 hole and were also delighted that the team overall was victorious also, by a margin of 5 to 3. The game itself was punctuated by constant drizzle: something not seen for a while but fortunately the temperature remained mild, so it wasn't too bad. 

Lunch upstairs in the Barnes Room was as delicious and filling as ever and it wasn't until 4 pm that I got back home. Just in time to leave again to catch the 4:27 train up to London!  As part of a belated birthday treat, we were to meet les enfants at Jamie's Italian in Covent Garden for dinner before going to the theatre. 

The food was excellent and we were in good spirits for Whose Line Is It Anyway? at the Adelphi in the Strand. This was a stage version of the long running TV show, originally started in the UK but then taken over with gusto by the US. This performance was hosted by Clive Anderson and had four regulars from both countries' versions. It was a cracking evening's entertainment - it's only on for two weeks, so book your tickets now!
