Despite the public ululations and optimistic expectation of the return of most sports following the president’s green light on sports activities on Sunday, the return of pool maybe a little complicated.
The NCS recently named pool among the low-risk sports alongside archery, cycling, darts, skating athletics motorsport, swimming and skating. However, the return of pool is encountering financial complications citing the adjustments to the new normal a little hard to implement inasmuch as playing under social distancing and playing behind closed doors a walk in the park.
This financial strained has not only come recently even when the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the already worse situation that caused the Pool Association of Uganda to haphazardly call off some of its activities.

Furthermore, the players have also been affected by the inadequate access to training facilities as most of them do not own personal training equipment like the tables and cues and have in the past relied on bars and clubs for training and these have since been closed following the corona outbreak. This therefore has caused serious retardation amongst most of the players. bit.ly/309YlOu

This was one of several large jigsaws I optimistically took to the BCD House Party in February 2020. I bought it in August 2019 for a reasonable sum, probably because it wasn't labelled as Parker Pastime, had no original box, no piece count or dimensions, and had replacements and a chewed piece. The division of the blank into rectangles is uncommon for Parker Pastime (but not without precedent) and the number and shape of the figurals indicated to me that it was American and likely Parker. I had a bit of discussion about it with an American BCD member who came to the event, in our private facebook group, so I was keen to complete this jigsaw first.
The 1500pc board was big enough - I'll add dimensions and piece count later. The figurals are really quite large - this surprised me, but the largest Parker I'd done previously was only about 400pc. The replacements have proved to be rather crude and I would eventually like to get better ones made. One replacement 'corner' (which ended up on the floor, which I picked up and put on the next table because it didn't look like our jigsaw at all then reclaimed and placed later) can be seen on the lower edge.

The smile on this young boy remains optimistic as he looks at the deflated toy on the ground of the abandon parking lot. Stephen, 8, spends his Saturday exploring the city of Dublin, which can be a rare sight today. Rather than be engulfed by popular video games or other electronic devices, he enjoys life beyond the LCD screen. He seemingly takes life in as it happens around him. A sight such as this can beg the viewer to reconsider his or her own priorities.
Perhaps a little optimistic, but at least it's forecast that it's going to warm up over the weekend! Have a good one! A little about our stay at Hotel Chocolat, for those who're interested... For anyone who's familiar with the brand of chocolate "Hotel Chocolat" this is the hotel, restaurant and plantation where it all begins. We were lucky enough to meet co-owner Peter Harris on our stay, a fascinating guy who started the business as a mail order chocolate company and has worked to create something virtually unique. I've not met many true entrepeneurs before, but what I found most interesting is that I got no sense that he'd built this for the money. It seemed much more about creating something very special, realising a dream if you like. It seemed clear that the workers here are getting a good deal. The plantation works to promote agriculture and to help farmers set up their own crops, with a clear focus on education and providing a fair return on the cocoa! If ever you're lucky enough to visit St Lucia, I cannot recommend this place enough. It makes you see your chocolate in a whole new light, and I doubt you'll ever grumble again at paying a couple of pounds for quality bar of dark chocolate once you've seen the work that's gone into it! flic.kr/p/dPqJBH
