Since the middle of January I have played (well participated anyhow....) in 2 hours of doubles tennis each week at the Brit Club with 3 colleagues from work.
It's not pretty, talent is lacking, there have been plenty of seriously dodgy line calls by Kym (Australian, to be expected really), horrific 'chicken style' dancing from Leon when winning net points, sweaty high-5s BUT most of all it was 2 hours of damn good stress relieving fun and laughter each week.
With a small community, stressful and at times frustrating work environment meant this weekly game has been a highlight of the past semester. Needless to say Kym and I lost every set bar one but the scoreline didn't reflect the close cutting edge nature of each game point. Towards the end of the semester you could even say we were rallying more often than not.
Last week was our last game of the semester mostly due to Heather swanning off to Barcelona for fun times but also in part due to the fact that doing any outdoor activity in 47 degrees is just plain nuts (and sweaty).
Couple of pictures of the sporty foursome...... post match.
