A return to the outdoor Table of Dreams on Friday afternoon. It’s been a while. We were both free and the park was absolutely empty. Time to swing that bat.

The park was incredibly dry. The conditions were still. We opted to play with a conventional indoor table tennis ball.

A brief warm-up followed. It was the usual stuff of TWATTING the ball back and forth with the forehand to each diagonal and then the same again with the backhand. The wind picked up and the ball started to move.

New balls please!

Switching over to the wind ball didn’t make much of a difference. We were both especially crap today.

I came from 2-0 down to level all the scores at 2-2 all. But OF COURSE I lost the final game, walking away a 3-2 loser. Oh dear.
