SQUASHED!

Now that my free gym period has expired I have turned to squash, so that my squash racket doesn't think it flew all the way from London for nothing.

And today I went to play squash with...two squash balls. It's great fun. They always get beaten. But my fitness only allowed me to play for around 40 minutes.

If memory serves me right I haven't played squash for over 3 years, main reasons being lack of partner and lack of court (and lack of time, lack of fitness, lack of motivation, lack of money too). So if you see this and don't mind being my 'partner' let me know.

Squash is a wonderful thing. I don't need a partner. But of course having someone else on court will save quite a lot of running. (misquoting the Bible - 'two are better than one' - Ecc 4:9)

When playing by myself it's totally up to me how I play it. I could have a very easy session of forehand / backhand / forehand / backhand and not break a sweat. I could hit the ball hard or feel smug tapping a beautiful drop shot only to make life harder for myself. I could (or so I try) serve some killer serves only to be picking balls up the whole time. Sometimes life is only as hard as I play it.

Thank you, little squash balls - until next time.
