The ocean liner Queen Mary 2 has a bowling alley.  I think it has two lanes.
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Awaiting @Stottie Girl as she'll undoubtedly have a very specific term for these! To me it is a roll, although living in Yorkshire 10 years I very much appreciate the term breadcake. I miss the specific large breadcakes that can fit your battered haddock...a very Yorkshire thing.

It's a bap, clearly it's a bap, though bun is acceptable. I mean barm cake? really?

And of course we have the Stottie! though this is specifically an oven bottom roll so it is technically different to baps.

Of course a bap buttered with either chips in or bacon becomes a butty. Context is everything!

Put a filling in it and it can remain a bap or stottie but can then also be called a sarnie!

Rhinos and elephants both enjoy eating watermelons. 

Try keeping them out of your garden.
