I've just taken up squash with my sons. Sues's not to sure about me playing an intensive game with a twenty year old, following pretty much no activity at all. During the first game, I couldn't breathe and my head felt as if someone had wrapped a towel around it - thick and fuzzy. Today's game was much better - with two new rackets, it's my third game and perhaps I'm getting fitter?
I'm certainly getting a buzz out of winning. After all, both boys can thrash me at most sports - I've only squash and badminton left.
So I'm now sitting here after dinner, my legs and back aching and that quiet feeling you get after sport and a shower. Sue has just announced that she's bored. Why is it that just as I feel content (and knackered) she is bored? Sometimes I feel that partners share in a feeling, but that one gets the neagative side when the other gets the positive, like as if there's so much Karma to share out between the two of you.
