I am NOT SWISS and I DON'T SOUND SWISS either!

everything's relative. nobody told me this 'practise league' was for practise simply cause we don't stand a chance. it's mixed, but the rules are that in a team of six players you need to have 2 'wild cards', wild cards being women, over 50s or 16 and unders. so we were playing against men's teams with a womam each. the whole 'over 50, no good' is just ridiculous in volleyball. so we lost the first three sets miserably. did manage to make it into double digits each time, i thought that was very good of us. but by the last set we'd woken up properly (seriously, who schedules volleyball matches for early saturday morning???) and quite a few of us were actually managing to jump high enough to hit the ball down over the net :-D for a while we even thought we might manage to win that set, we were a couple of points ahead for ages. but then the other team stopped getting annoyed and caught up ;-) but as we only lost that one 25-21 we were all very pleased. and the guys were quite impressed... so as i said, relatively successfull. it all depends on your point of view :-)

you wouldn't believe the top they made me wear though. there's only one spare one and it's an M!!! i would never even try to get into an M usually, i prefer XL... got into it no problem, but that thing was skin tight. the others thought it was hilarious. it wasn't tight tight, just skin tight. i was well not impressed! spent most of the first set pulling on my top. afterwards the others declared themselves jealous and tried to comfort me by pointing out that the guys probably enjoyed it. thank you so much!!!

on the way back i definitely recognised a park i wandered past two weeks ago. so the place i ended up catching a taxi was gloucester road it seems. not sure i've been there before (other than that night...)
