summer full of tennis - just like the good old days!

County Week was a bit of a let-down as we got flooded out after day 1 in Cheltenham...we did win the 1st day vs Channel Islands 7-2, so if the results are based on that day alone we will go up to division 5 - wahey :) Had some good laughs with the rest of the team though, and hope to keep moving in the same direction over the next few years.

Straight back for 3 days in module 2 of the CCA (my next coaching qualification)... bit boring but only 2 more modules to go!

Next was a week in Bournemouth - Ross & I with 10 kids (fun?). I lived in a rented house with 5 girls, while Ross was down the road with 5 boys in a B&B. We cooked dinner at the house most nights (and pizza carry-out a couple!) - kids chilled out and watched DVDs. It's a tiring week - daily routine of getting up to practice at about 7am, coaching/watching matches, doing fitness with kids, looking after them all day, sometimes not back till 8 or later, cooking dinner, cleaning up (or making sure kids do it properly!)

Had a wee party at my flat to recover when I got back, turned out to be a really fun night out, so Sunday was a LONG day watching 12s Nationals Qualifying at CTC!!

Was meant to go back to Bournemouth Wed-Sat for 14s Qualifying but that got changed on Tuesday (great organisation by TS), so I enjoyed an unexpected extra few days off. Have been at the 14s Main Draw this week (in Bournemouth again) with Emma & Joanna. Has been good catching up with loads of people I used to play against who are now involved in coaching/fitness/sports science/admin etc!
