The Darts Final

1 December 2010

More trips to the wood yard, looking for coving to disguise the ebb and flow of the ceiling; skirting to cover the unsightly gaps at floor level; and corner beading to cover up some dodgy measuring of the t&g.  We fitted the coving, then installed the shower tray so the skirting boards could butt up to it.

That's a mock-up of the compost toilet in the LH corner, with a beam for the planned modesty wall.

Then we ran out of time, as the evening was the semis and final of the Byblos Darts Tournament.  Dave was all geared up with the new shafts and flights Pauline had brought from the UK.  In fact, almost every contender seemed to have matching black shafts and red flights, Dave being a soft touch in these things.

Sara went off to Panto rehearsal, while Dave scored five games to nil in the semi final;  Sara arrived just in time for the final: Dave vs Gray.  Gray had won his semi at five to one, so it looked like an even match.

But Gray was off colour, Dave took the first game of seven with aplomb: straight into the double of his choice, and again in the second game, and the stuffing just seemed to go out of Gray, losing every game after that.  7-0 to Dave.

I did try to upload a great photo of Dave between shirts - here he is wearing the champion's cap and polo, with Gray in the losing finalist's tee - but the blog engine blocked it, presumably due to naked torso content! 

(Note the matching darts!)
