Social tennis
After a few weeks of just playing together, Sue and I went along to a social evening at the tennis centre last night where they had a mixed 'round robin' session under floodlights. It was a lovely warm evening and we enjoyed the play - there were about 12 players there (mostly edging on the 'maturer' side of us!) and we mixed around for each match of 8 games. The standard was generally good so that it was a challenge but not too far ahead of our game at this stage!
Apparently they sometimes play beyond 11pm but we finished by 9.30 as I had to collect Laura at 11 from her school 'formal' party in a hotel in Manly, which she enjoyed. It's her last week of school this week - although Caroline and Rebecca have another few weeks to go.
Watched the cricket on and off during the day as another England collapse saw Australia get a surprise win in the 2nd Ashes test - how depressing! Still, there was only one mention of it at the tennis in the evening!
