Madness in Nairobi!
Hi guys! Rob decided to leave me (Beth) and Farah to write today’s blog. Last night I decided to sleep in Farah’s bed because she has a mosquito net and the night before they decided to have me for dinner, but even so I still managed to get bitten about 1,000,000 times, great!
We had breakfast at 7:15am then went down to the courts to warm up 8:40am. Practise went well; Jim put a 50 shilling bet on the 1st person to knock down the ball can so by the end of the drill Devan was 50 shillings richer!! I managed to stack it for a 5th time in the past few days which wasn’t the most enjoyable experience of the day and I was covered in clay (again) but hey ho we all feel that we are in good form and ready for tomorrow.
After the morning session we went over into some lovely shade and did our IP (injury prevention) and bought some yogurts for recovery, which Farah cleverly managed to spill all over her Wimbledon towel! She wasn’t too pleased! (Don’t see why I would be pleased with yogurt on my towel-Farah!) Whilst doing our IP we all needed someone to hold onto our bands, which is when we discovered Rob is a secret multi-tasking man! 1st one we have ever met, look at his skills!
Rob's multi-tasking skills in action!
We had a few hours off to chill, have lunch and watch some more of the OC, we love it! For our afternoon warm up I thought it would be cool if we played a game of cricket with the guys from Team Bath, it was…interesting to say the least and there was a lot of dodgy bowling going on.
Farah – Afternoon hit wasn’t great for me, Beth, Devan and Brigit seemed to be playing well but I found it tough! Rob took some interesting photos of us playing tennis … I love pulling weird faces! We played a lot of points and by the end of the session we were all playing well!
Wingspan of an Albatross!
Tomorrow I am playing a girl from Belgium last match on, Farah is playing a girl from Egypt 3rd mach and Devan is also playing a girl from Belgium last match…we will let you all know how we get on tomorrow but until then goodnight!
