Lovely weekend... Oli is playing tennis in a Junior Development series. This weekend's location was Clive Palmer's (mining magnate here in Oz) resort in Coolum: lovely jubbly (although the food was a smidge expensive!). Oli did well on Saturday, winning one match and then taking 2 games from the top guy who beat Oli last time without Oli winning a game. The lad lives 50 kilometres inland (middle of nowhere) and has never had a tennis lesson in his life. His dad downloads drills on YouTube and uses a ball machine on the scrub outside their home. Lovely family who asked if Oli would play doubles with their son as they think that Oli is such a 'polite, enthusiastic young man'!!!!!
Oli should have played on Sunday but his knees just wouldn't work: bit of a lesson for Oli to remember to warm up and keep warm during breaks.
He did seem a bit better this morning and has just cycled off to school. He's too big for his own bike now so we've given him Jeff's mountain bike. We spent ages last night explaining that he needs to be much more careful on the bigger bike and not to race/watch out for cars on the estate etc... I have just watched him leave: racing the kid next door in the middle of the road...
