Played tennis with the club coach and his wife in our regular Sunday foursome this morning. We were only marginally beaten this week – 6-4, 6-3: excellent games with long rallies. We must be improving.

Decided to annoy Roger later by wearing my leggings – amongst his pet hates are: women in leggings, skiing in Austria, ready meals, BMWs (especially those little squat sports models), me with highlights…... the list goes on.

Roger cooked an interesting supper from Nigel Slater. Good fish – haddock with bacon. We had bought a squash to accompany it which was obviously intended to be admired rather than consumed as it was fibrous and tasteless. Ah well, I always have been seduced by appearances!

Looking forward to the American invasion in a couple of weeks. Must make coffee…..
