Tales and thoughts during my 15 month apprenticeship among my peers in Camden, London
Saturday, June 11, 2011
After 16 years of not picking up a tennis racquet, I made my debut onto the court, and a British one at that. I think the sport must come naturally to all of them (maybe because it was birthed in England), because some of them said they were "rubbish" at the sport, and yet were whacking the ball around like it was no one's business. All 3 of them were very understanding, as I lobbed the ball over the fence on my first try. I think I heard "unlucky" more than I have ever heard it in my life, as my serves went wide of the box 3/4 of the time. The whole "Remain calm and carry on" mentality must be ingrained in them, because they actually tolerated my bouncing and hopping around the court in much glee. I'm not sure about them, but I had a complete blast!!! :)
