Nostalgia for Badminton - what a great game!

Once upon a time, I used to play the sport of badminton. Hey, it's indoors and the ladies wear short skirts all the year around :-)

(Disclaimer to all badminton playing ladies in the world: Please don't sue me for harrassment, not being pc or factually correct ie. some ladies don't wear short skirts. Please don't come around to where I lay my weary head and queue up to abuse me ... er, well, maybe if you could abuse me gently ...)

Enough of that!

Feeling sorry for myself because last night's tennis club play session caused my knee to swell up (cross ref aforementioned knee injury), I dallied a while with nostalgic thoughts of badminton, which I used to play and enjoy.

The great thing about badminton is that the serve is so much more gentle on the knees than tennis which requires the server to crash down on one foot prior to leaping with deadly abandon towards to the net, in readinesss to smash the ball at the opposition (to which the opposition responds with a winning lob ... ).

But, hey! I like being outside in the sunshine ... wind, rain, fog, sleet, snow ...

So perhaps I'll just stick with tennis.

Bye for now
