Oleander

The oleander is in full flower and is looking great. I played tennis at 9 am this morning. It is too hot later in the day. Having suffered with my knee yesterday on the walk, I thought I might have to cancel. I woke with hardly any pain and decided to take two painkillers and see how things would go. I played two sets over an hour and a half and fully expected to feel the consequence in the afternoon but I was pain free. That seems strange. I am beginning to conclude that it is long flat walks that aggravate the knee most with the repetitive jarring to the joint. In the afternoon, I went up to get the key to the flat a parishioner has offered our new vicar so he can stay over on his visits.
