Another week has blown past by Carol M Tetlow 7/2/2023 9:34:15 AM
Firstly, thank you to each and every one of the three thousand, two hundred and sixty two people who have clicked on last week's blog. Wow! That's a phenomenal number. I shall work hard to continue to entertain.
So, a survey was done on the house... more

Way too hot by Carol M Tetlow 6/25/2023 5:31:37 AM
Writing and keeping my arms off the table (no easy feat) as it's so hot and clammy that I keep getting stuck to the wood!
Like crazy people, we played a match yesterday afternoon - every bit as hot, maybe hotter, than 2 weeks ago and the perspir... more

The ocean wave is getting stormier by Carol M Tetlow 6/18/2023 3:12:17 AM
Just when I was least expecting it, a phone call comes from the garage to tell me that my car is ready. It's only taken two months for them to get the part required and fit it. Excited (because I do quite love my car) I went off to pick it up. Now th... more

Life on the ocean wave by Carol M Tetlow 6/11/2023 5:19:06 AM
Quite honestly, any more of these huge ups and downs in my life and I'll be sea sick. A lovely couple came to view my house on Tuesday, made all the right noises and I didn't think I'd hear from them again. Forty eight hours later, they put in an off... more

Life's ups (good) and downs (help!) by Carol M Tetlow 6/4/2023 9:47:38 AM
This time last week, I was bobbing along on a high. Things were going well, I was really happy and forward thinking. I was positive and making plans. Then in the space of twenty four hours the pendulum has swung in completely the opposite direction a... more

Books, books and more books by Carol M Tetlow 5/28/2023 5:04:41 AM
A fabulously sunny week, warm as well. My legs are brown, my feet are white - a sure sign I'm back playing lots of tennis and feeling fine. The mixed team had a match on Thursday evening. Bear in mind that we have gone up a division, so the play is h... more

Jinxed again by Carol M Tetlow 5/21/2023 8:26:42 AM
The abrasion on my knee is now half the size it was and my shoulder, after some very restrained tennis and gym work seems to be on the right track, thank goodness. My poor partner has a bruise all the way up the back of his thigh and is still hobblin... more

Ouch, ouch and out by Carol M Tetlow 5/14/2023 6:44:40 AM
Picture this, two intrepid tennis players are defying all the odds and are four-love up against some rather good opposition. Play is taking place indoors on a squeaky acrylic court and the brand new balls are bouncing high. Desperately trying to claw... more

Celebrating in style by Carol M Tetlow 5/7/2023 5:32:05 AM
Looking out of my window, there is bunting fluttering on the opposite building, red, white and blue and despite the gloomy weather forecast it's warm, sunny and befitting a celebratory coronation weekend.
We had our first Ladies' league match yes... more

Counting birds, not sheep by Carol M Tetlow 4/30/2023 6:32:06 AM
Laughing all day long. Well I have to because otherwise I'd go into a corner, curl up in a ball and cry. My first match of the season is promotion, to the first team (who'd have thought it?) but we're playing a team that always wins the division beca... more

Mid afternoon 42723 by Lewis W Findley 4/27/2023 11:37:34 AM
I thank you Jesus Christ for my family, both blood and spirit, and my church family I will see Saturday and Sunday. I thank you for my beloved and sainted mother who is cooking supper right now, bless and keep her Lord. In Jesus name amen... more

Wind problems.... by Carol M Tetlow 4/23/2023 3:27:05 AM
Please send grapes, flowers and whatever else might be suitable for a Golf GTI that is now in the intensive care ward at the garage, awaiting a transplant of some vital part but with no idea of when this part might arrive from somewhere in the world.... more

Flashing lights before my eyes by Carol M Tetlow 4/16/2023 6:54:15 AM
It's a car problem. The warning lights keep flashing up on the dashboard with an irritating pinging noise and then disappearing. I honestly think that 52 pings in the space of two miles is excessive, if not enough to drive you bonkers. When the car w... more

Easter greetings by Carol M Tetlow 4/9/2023 4:46:15 AM
There is no better start to a Monday than being by the ebullient Larry from a retired men's group about an hour's drive away. It had been the most fabulous drive there through some stunning scenery, daffodils in bloom everywhere, blossom on some of t... more

Is that burning I can smell? by Carol M Tetlow 4/2/2023 7:40:11 AM
Six hours of tennis on Monday, four on Tuesday, three and a half on Wednesday (plus an hour's padel) left me somewhat jaded on Thursday. I can't possibly imagine why - ha ha! But I persevered and played for four hours on Thursday but just the two on ... more

Putting up some resistance by Carol M Tetlow 3/26/2023 6:37:44 AM
It's official - the team squads have been announced and I for one am keeping a particularly low profile as for sure I know there are some who will be very indignant that they've not been promoted to a better team. For those who follow my attempts to ... more

Relishing a silent phase by Carol M Tetlow 3/19/2023 8:57:42 AM
I'm all talked out! Three talks in three days is a bit overwhelming. I almost had to cancel one as when I looked out of the window about to set off the snow was falling heavily, much to my surprise. A quick call with my destination reassured me that ... more
