It’s been a good day today. The weather was kind and the predicted rain never came. Around 11 am the Table Tennis table I ordered arrived. It was all in one package and it took two men to take off the lorry and put it in my garage. It took me a long while to unpack it and move it to the back of the house and set it up on the patio. I rang my friend Fay to come for a game. She had only just got up and needed her breakfast first, she said. You may think 11:30 in the morning a little indulgent, epicurean even, but that is how she works. While I awaited her arrival I went out for a ride on my Suzuki Bandit. It hasn’t been started and ridden for weeks because of my broken hand so it was a rare pleasure. it felt as though I had been on it a lot. A wonderful feeling of being one with it. All too soon I had to return home to await Fay’s arrival. We had a pleasant afternoon playing table tennis, or ping pong if you prefer, and finding that we still enjoyed it. Everywhere is closed down because of the C19 virus, so having a game was uplifting. After a couple of hours playing, we went for a coffee nearby and then to do some clothes shopping. Not me, Fay. When will this lock-down end.

I would like to add a photograph but this recent new WordPress setup has hidden that basic important action from me. I can’t find how to do it.
