After a couple of wet, cold and windy days I think I'll make my way outside today.
I've done the washing (mine as she won't let me do hers - I don't do it properly apparently) and sorted out a few things on this computer so now will head out to play a few holes of golf and later play some tennis.
This is my last chance to take advantage of free trials at both Mornington golf course and Thorndon tennis before joining and paying membership fees. I'm pretty certain that I will do join both but today will be the test.
Just to be clear, I'm a crap golfer and a rubbish tennis player but it's a way of keeping fit. "Use it or lose it" -

We did go out yesterday evening - to Cuba restaurant (before Donald Trump bombs it) and then to a film at the Lighthouse Cinema. We saw Holy Days, a NZ film set in 1974 depicting a road trip from central North Island, across Cook Strait and down to Aoraki Mount Cook. It was a good little film that's worth a look and was particularly good at capturing the era. It reminded me of a similar road trip that Robert, Noel and I took in 1977 going across the strait, travelling down the West Coast and crossing past Aoraki Mount Cook to Christchurch and then back up the East Coast. I remember the roads being similarly empty and the scenery stunning.
That's it for now but remember -"Use it or lose it".

Lost on me.
I did the golf thing and boy it was hard work. I'd forgotten how much of a goat track Berhampore golf course is. I'll stick with it though as it will have to be good for fitness. I just think I'll give up on hauling around a large golf bag and trundler though and buy a small and light carry bag that can hold at most 6 clubs.
I'm off to tennis at 5.30 and it won't be so hot then.
As the guys said to the sheep shearer, "Thanks for shearing."
You obviously want to know how it went at tennis.
It was OK and so I've joined the club.
They were very nice to me although I kept my spin shots to a minimum.
Good morning.
That puts a whole different spin on it.
What did they think of your jokes?
I can't really imagine what Thorndon jokes would be like.

I believe you.
