The Last Day

of intensive tennis training - at indoor courts unfortunately because it was belting rain.

We had the farewell dinner last night. Roy delights in making people sing "Waltzing Matilda" and we had fun telling them that our national song is about a sheep-thief who commits suicide...

Today I got to play with Lady Joan (yes really) and we had a ball frustrating two other players who had treated us with disdain because we can't hit has hard as they do - but Joan is the queen of the lob and I'm getting better at the net.We had a lot of fun watching them get more and more frustrated...

We are now in Geneva and catch the train tomorrow to Paris early in the morning...

I'll play at least twice while we're in Paris just to keep tuned up.....
