I reckon I’m going to be pretty sore on Thursday morning of next week. I’ve arranged to play a game of squash on Wednesday night.
There was a time that I used to play every week but I haven’t been on a court for years so I’ve got to try to remember the rules. Strange how when you stop doing something on a regular basis you forget a lot of what used to come naturally.
That was a lesson I learnt when I picked up a clarinet some years back. I learnt to play clarinet for a few years in high school but never kept it up afterwards. Years after leaving school I picked up a clarinet and couldn’t even remember how to hold it properly, let alone get any notes out of it.
Of course there are other things that you never forget. I reckon that even if I took a long break from cycling, which I don’t intend doing, I’d still know what I was doing when I got back in the saddle. I suppose it’s just like riding a bike.

For the sake of your knees and ankles it would be a god idea if you forgot how to play squash Rodney! Still, the chiropractors need work don’t they?
My husband’s entire family are HUGE squash players. They play in big tournaments and all. My father-in-law is 80 and still plays! We actually had an Australian player open a squash center here in Dayton a couple of years ago. Julian Wellings, or something like that?
