This week Squid was to play tennis in the SAPSASA Tennis Carnival, this is for all primary school children in year 6 and 7 in the state. Our district usually has trouble filling the team so we had a couple of grade 5's in the team as well. Squid was only down to play 2 days which I thought would be enough for her but as there was a couple of injuries she ended up playing the whole week. Things were reasonably slow at work my boss was still on holidays but we decided that it would be ok for me to have the time... actually I just told him I was having the time. And I have been looking at emails and things when I get home just to make sure there wasn't anything getting out of hand.
I really don't know who is more tired me or Squid... well probably Squid but I have been pretty shattered at the end of the day... especially when you play just about every shot with them lol.
The kids have been having a ball and the ones that can try out again next year are eager to do it again. Due to the success of the team last year (Maestro was in that group) their district went up to Div 1, and they have only managed to win 1 round so hopefully they will drop down next year to Div 2 and get less of a pummelling. Even though most of the kids haven't had a win they still have been coming off the court smiling so they are just happy to enjoy the experience.

Congratulations and well done to the whole team!
Ahhh SAPSASA sport I remember that.
That's a lot of tennis for one week. They look like a pretty happy crew. Hope you've had a chance to recover.
