Saturday...4 June 2011

Ok back on track. Got a bit confused with that last entry. Yes, yes, I know I am always confused these days but if you were permanently travelling in circles you too would be having trouble knowing what day it is.......and what you did with it!
Today we got up super early (before breakfast! and before the sun) to attend the grandchildrens Saturday sporting fixtures. Eldest grandson got lucky, his tennis opponents knew they were not up to the job and forfeited. Score one win to us, and another to grandson who got to sleep in...lucky boy.
Off we went to eldest grandaughters tennis meet. Our luck to not have a home game! Way up into the forest on the hills we went. Brrrrrrrrr. Very, very nice grammar school, beautifully kept gardens. And to be fair the sun did eventually come out and was nice and warm, but not until it climbed up over the tall tall forest trees. No win for the team there, but some very impressive rallys in the singles and talking tactics during the doubles.
Home for a quick lunch and then it was off to the youngest child's netball competition. Lots of courts run with military precision and lots of girls & boys running around. The colors of the team uniforms were as pretty as a rainbow. Also noticed that the game balls matched the 'home' teams uniform colors, very interesting.
The game was four quarters of very hard fought nail biting stuff. Who ever said that netball was a non contact sport obviously had never seen the game actually being played. Youngest childs team eventually came out winners, but they had to work hard for the win. Seriously fast and furious stuff.
Well done to all of this batch of grandchildren. We saw good sportsmanship and people giving 100%, way to go kids.......
After that it was home for a cuppa then the netballer went to her musical theatre class. We got a sneak peak at this years theatre production, most exciting.
Came home and had a nap to get over it all. Totally worn out we were having watched all that sport.
Daughter came over after tea for coffee and to sort out everyones plans for tomorrow.
Tennis courts are booked and grandaughters want to do some beading with their dear old granny. Will be a busy day full of fun we hope. Looking forward to it.......Love my beading.....lol.
