The last 3 days :D Parties :D

Today is dedicated to Sam Palmer who saved Saturday night and made it pretty spectacular. Uncle Jurgen AND ROBBIE WILSOOOON!!!

Thursday was the day that finally me and Jack got our epic tennis encounter underway. The first set was anything but tight with Jack racing into a 4-1 lead however I gritted my teeth and got it back to 5-5. I had now devised a great plan to beat him and it was to expose his height. This worked so well I went 6-5 up and was a game away from the first set. Unfortunately Jack held serve and forced a tie break. You could get the tension with a knife. The capacity crowd included a tramp asleep on the park bench and mothers pushing there children around couldn't bare to watch. It was probably more the mothers walking well away from us due to my loud cursing and the trap was asleep facing the other way. Buoyed by the crowd support, i fed off it and racing into a 5-2 lead in the tie break. 5-2 turned into 5-3 which turned into 5-4 and after and epic point 6-4. Two set points. From there it was all downhill as jack took the tie break 11-13 after 6 or 7 wind assisted shots. In the end Jack won 7-6, 6-4, 6-3 however for me it was like playing a 3 year old at football. I know I was far better than him and not wanting to make him upset I'm let him win. Simple.

Anyway 3 hrs of tennis left me pretty much broken for pre season training. That was hard.

Friday was a day which was full of Jack celebrating his fluke victory however it was Emma's surprise party to in the evening. Unfortunately due to a match the next day I was forced to being sober. Other than a cheeky shot each for me and Shane.

Onto Saturday's match and after one of the funniest dressing rooms ever we got out to warm up. I borrowed Jurgens gloves which were really good. I was quite pleased with myself. Despite the odd slip up as there generally is with me I played well and made some good saves. The match was all build up for Callum and Tash's engagement party though. I didn't bring any clothes so I went home with Sam and got changed and walked up to the Palmers. Emily then vandalised my facebook before we left to go. I got in the back seats and as I went to shut the boot I slipped and fell out the car. This sort of set the tone for the rest of the night. There were a couple of very notable incidents that included the stand and slippery surface however there is no need to get caught up on little details. It was a great night.

Thats pretty much that :D
