Tennis this morning and it's been a delightful day.
One of the woman there asked me if I'd miss them when I moved. I said that I'd miss finding someone to argue with. She laughed. She and another woman surmised that if I join a club in Wellington* I'd probably start out all nice until I got to know them and then be 'cheeky' - their word.
I took some books with me to tennis where there's a kind of bring and take library in the clubhouse which is a grand name for the old tin shed we use. I looked around and decided that, with a bit of reorganising, I'd be able to install one of the bookcases we have. It's fairly large being over 2 metres high and two and a half metres wide. This afternoon I emptied the shelf and cajoled The Old Girl into helping me put the unit on the trailer to take to the tennis club along with about a hundred books - mainly paperback novels. I moved some chairs, a china cabinet and a table and installed and stocked the bookcase. Job done. Another problem out of the way. Over the next couple of weeks I'll sort through all of the remaining books we have on three more bookcases and take a lot more to the tennis club. We're taking these bookcases - solid wood, rimu I think, with us and all of the solid 'keepable' books.
Here are the two in the hallway. They are a bit cluttered and untidy but there are some good books here.

Yeah, but will there be violins (read 'violence') there?

I hope thar tennis clubs in Wellington don't read this. You might need to join a pipe band. Get some practice done, just in case.
Them thar tennis clubs will welcome me. Yeehaw!
I'd meet up for a game of tennis provided RBB didn't cheat!
I guess if he was using that big cello as a racquet* then he'd have an unfair advantage.
*Maybe racket is more appropriate.

I have a pain in the arse.
Oops, that's it! It's your jokes.
Have fun boys, but don't pun.
But I don't want fun boys.
I thought you'd still be over at Rob's blog.
