Sport
We kicked off the weekend with James and Olivia playing touch-rugby. James had a 2-2 draw and Olivia's team had a hard fought 1-0 win. A good start to a weekend of sport.
Saturday morning saw James' cricket team playing the 2nd day of a 2 day match. Day 1 was a week ago and the other team only scored 64 runs from their 40 overs. On Saturday morning James team made it to 64 after about 20 overs with only 1 wicket down. The trouble with cricket is that if you are batting at #6 you are not guaranteed to bat....and so James sat watching his team for 2.5 hours and never got to bat. We finished at about 180 for 3. A victory but not much fun for James.
Saturday afternoon and it was surfing time. James had a lesson, Olivia had a go under my instruction and Jack played in the sand. James had a blast catching most waves (this was lesson #6 so he is getting pretty good). Olivia thought the 6 inches of waves were "huge". I probably should not have thrown her into the waves shouting "they are the biggest I have ever seen, oh my God Olivia". She screamed, told me off...but eventually had some fun trying to surf.
Sunday (yes there is more). I did a 35 km cycle in the morning. In the afternoon James had a golf lesson followed by 5 holes of golf.
The golf scores were as follows:
Hole 1: James 4 (chipped in from 20 metres); Ken 5. James wins.
Hole 2: James 7; Ken 6. Ken just wins.
Hole 3: James 7; Ken 4. Ken wins.
Hole 4: James 5; Ken 3 (birdie). Ken wins.
Hole 5: James 4; Ken 5. James wins.
So in five holes my 10 year old son had two legitimate PARS. He is getting good. He had discovered how to putt. I need to practise more.
We finished off the weekend with dinner at the golf club along with the Peach family - a great end to a busy weekend.
Non-sporting activities
Does gardening count?
I'll be in USA next week, so next blog likely to be in two weeks time.
