On the mend- finally by Carol M Tetlow 10/30/2022 8:36:50 AM
Overwhelmed by some evil virus this week which has persisted pretty much until today, when I woke up feeling that there was a chance that I was human after all and not a leaden lump with no energy, no appetite and a thumping headache. What a relief! ... more

What's Sleep Got To Do With It?! by Edie M. Batstone 10/27/2022 1:28:04 PM
My ode to my pillow that gets tossed around more than used some nights! For all of you sleepless ones.

Wading through treacle by Carol M Tetlow 10/23/2022 4:45:23 AM
Off I went to give a talk on Thursday. Managed to squeeze tennis in first and then had a horrible journey in pouring rain, made worse by the fact that I thought I knew where I was going and took a wrong turn right at the very end which resulted in a ... more

Nearly half a million by Carol M Tetlow 10/16/2022 1:32:28 AM
Just about recovered from the tennis team night out to celebrate our winning the division and being promoted. As you can tell, it has taken some time to get all of us together on the same day as the matches seem to be so long ago. Nevertheless, a goo... more

Paddling too furiously by Carol M Tetlow 10/9/2022 1:42:10 AM
Quite a week, one way or another. I gave a talk on Tuesday to what called a Men's Forum but they have now agreed to allow women to attend too, so it wasn't quite what I'd expected. I was warmly welcomed by a gentleman, inappropriately dressed in shor... more

Bad knees, bad head and a change of life by Carol M Tetlow 10/2/2022 5:36:46 AM
Still on my 'holiday' and looking out at the fields and a a dozen ducks who are investigating the grass in front of my lodge. It's so lovely and warm with the sun beating through the window onto my back. Generally, the autumnal feeling is making its ... more

Already in the holiday spirit by Carol M Tetlow 9/25/2022 5:38:34 AM
Greetings from the hot tub. Bubble bubble bubble - that's the jacuzzi bit! You'll be glad to know that I'm not actually in it at the moment but I was yesterday evening, gazing with amazement at a million stars in the clearest sky.
So here I am on... more

Where's the off switch? by Carol M Tetlow 9/18/2022 5:14:44 AM
A curious week overshadowed by the continuous mourning for the Queen. I'd fully expected my talks to be cancelled but the two on Monday went ahead and both started with the singing of 'Jerusalem', then 'God Save the King' and then a minute's silence.... more

Climbing The Stairs by Edie M. Batstone 9/11/2022 12:50:04 PM
Getting lost has always been one of my fears (often playing a central theme in my dreams) and one that a lot of us I'm sure, share; whether it's trying to find a new destination, or trying to manoeuvre my way through a computer challenge! Perhaps tu... more

An unexpected confession by Carol M Tetlow 9/11/2022 6:49:42 AM
Sit down and brace yourselves. I am putting my hand up and admitting openly that I overdid the tennis this week. Yes, even I am forced to admit that three hours on Monday, six on Tuesday and Wednesday, only two and a half on Thursday and then five on... more

Resting while I can by Carol M Tetlow 9/4/2022 5:18:19 AM
Typing this with purple fingers as I have been blackberry picking, making the big mistake of forgetting that the electric fence was on and so receiving the biggest shock across my midriff as I reached (of course, it would have to be) the biggest and ... more

Talking is good by Carol M Tetlow 8/28/2022 10:36:04 AM
Off I set for a talk last Monday. Way up into the Yorkshire Dales. The main roads turned into lanes, which got progressively narrower and narrower, culminating in the most picturesque little village. Ladies and two gentlemen were eating soup and dess... more

Little things mean a lot by Carol M Tetlow 8/21/2022 6:54:34 AM
Painfully aware that my blog last week was teetering on rather boring, I shall try my hardest to be more entertaining today.
it has been quite quiet at the tennis centre as we glide into peak holiday season and the coaches are away, so there are ... more

Melting in the heat by Carol M Tetlow 8/14/2022 7:33:08 AM
A bit of a quieter week, which is perhaps a very good thing as it's been so very, very hot and there are few places to go to avoid the heat, apart from the local supermarket, where it is deliciously cool. But you can only do so much shopping....

Let sleeping dogs lie by Carol M Tetlow 8/7/2022 5:44:45 AM
During the week I went round to a friend's house (to admire as she had moved since I'd last seen her and yes, it was very lovely) for coffee. The two dogs greeted me like a long lost friend. As it was a hot, summery day, I'd got my flipflops on and p... more

Never thought it would happen to me by Carol M Tetlow 7/31/2022 5:32:17 AM
Not exactly what you'd call one of my quietest weeks and it's hard to believe that a whole seven days has passed since I was metaphorically on the starting blocks, aware of what was to come.
One morning, I think it was Wednesday, I drove seventy... more

Game Set and Match is out! by Carol M Tetlow 7/24/2022 1:44:22 AM
The week started off with the hottest days I think I have ever known, together with the hottest nights which meant that sleep was elusive and the daytime even harder to get through. I even cancelled a tennis game! Yes, that's how hot it was. Just the... more
