Stuck at work
It's amazing how things go in cycles. Most days I've got barely anything to do, and then out of the blue the work fairy will tap his wand on my shoulder and I'll be swamped. I'm still at work at 10:21pm on a Thursday night, because I'm supposed to finish this batch run and the mainframe is running at full capacity. I've been flat out on projects all day.
Still, I get paid by the hour so I can't really complain too loudly.
Squash last night was great fun, although I felt a little more unfit than last week (go figure). I started off playing terrible, and lost to Anoop (who was playing really well) and then to Darren (who was playing average). I then picked it up near the end and starting winning again. But that was the first time they've beaten me, and I didn't much like the feeling. Gotta improve for next week! On the plus side, I played with my new racquet for the first time and it was great! Felt very solid with a nice large sweet spot, and easy to swing. Happy.
My weekend is starting to fall into place now... I've got ice skating Saturday morning, shopping and cooking Saturday afternoon, tennis Sunday morning and another flying lesson Sunday afternoon. No, I'm not taking lessons! I'm just getting another trial instructional flight with another school :) It's significantly cheaper than a real lesson (because they want you to learn with them) and you still get to fly the plane, so I'll take what I can get!

What are you doing playing tennis?! Trying to get good, or something?
I might be heading down your way for work in a couple of weeks, maybe we can get together for a hit one evening. Will let you know if that ends up happening.
haha - no, just trying to get confidence! I'm sure the biggest flaw my game has is my lack of confidence on the bigger shots, causing me to play the safer ones instead. Playing more often will hopefully bring the confidence back!
Sounds great! If you get some free time it would be wicked to catch up and have a hit :)
