25th game of tennis

Rajesh and I just celebrated our 25th game of tennis together. We are getting better and better and having some titanic rallys and wonderfully close matches. We are both utterly hooked. It's been so much fun. 

Playing tennis at Rajesh's new home

Rajesh's flat has a tennis court and we've started playing on Wednesday evening. I couldn't be more thrilled. I love tennis so much and have really missed playing since my prior tennis partner, Brendan, left Sydney several years ago. 

After the tennis, we have been going to the pub for a meal. They do a Thai Beef salad that is absolutely to die for.

Exercise (2024)

 A good year for exercise. 

• An average of 5.2 km walked per day, up from 4 km per day last year.
• 12 hikes.
• 11 games of tennis (all played in Nov & Dec)

Exercise (2023)

An average of 4 km walked this year, up from 3.4 km last year. The huge leap in August and September is due to my hike in Everest, Nepal, including both training in Sydney and the hike itself.

I did 12 hikes in 2023, including Everest Base camp which was 11 full days of hiking.

Tennis

Brendan and I played tennis again today.  We're so evenly matched and had a great titanic battle.  So much fun.  And lovely in the sunshine.
