We’ve got a box of activity ideas that we use as a lucky dip, and this weekend Sandra drew ‘ten pin bowling’ from the box. She didn’t have a strong history, but really wanted to learn how to bowl well, so I drew on my lessons from 30 years ago to try to teach her. I wasn’t in very good form and was distracted by having to score manually, because Colombian bowling alleys don’t have automated scoring, but I did my best. At the end of the second game, I was tired and ready to finish up, but Sandra felt she was on the verge of mastering her form, so we kept playing. My third game was terrible. Sandra, however, got strikes on her last two bowls, and came away with tears of joy.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get either of those on video. Thankfully, I also failed to capture her thrashing me at air hockey after bowling.
