Injured

Ow.

I've got a nasty injury which means I can't play tennis anymore, at least for the short term.

I think it's the connective ligament between my forearm and tricep, but what the heck do I know about anatomy? I'm going to go to the physio first, and then if that fails I'll go to the doctor for some x-rays. I tried to play tennis on Saturday but only managed 15 minutes before the pain was unbearable and I had to stop. So I can't play tennis until it's fixed. Squash doesn't seem to affect it as much, and I can get in an hour long game with it hurting only a small amount (it still hurts though). Hopefully I'll be able to get it fixed and get back on the court soon.

Luckily, I've found a new addiction to replace tennis while I'm healing. Ice skating! I love it and am taking lessons to improve now. I had two beginner lessons on the weekend, and had the most wicked fun. I've ordered some skates of my own (they arrive Tuesday) so now I'm all set to go.

Skating it also infinitely cheaper than flying which I also did on Sunday! I flew another Piper Warrior over the Moorabbin area for thirty minutes, and it was an absolutely glorius day to fly. Blue skies, perfect sunny weather, with clear visibility all the way to the horizon -- magic! Did a lot better this time too, and managed to control the plane right up until the very last seconds of landing, when the instructor took over. It really is amazing fun, but soooo expensive. $230 per hour for instruction and plane hire, whereas I can get skating instruction for $50 an hour. I've attached a photo of me and the plane I flew.
