A new week. Trying again to play pickleball Sydney side in the club I chose to join. 5 times played and 3 times came across players more keen to tell me what to do than play. Hopefully not this time - did check the player list - the 3 offenders are not on the list. One player I know. What irks me is I have played tennis doubles for years and years and never come across this compulsion - maybe it is North Shore thing. Or I have lost all tolerance for dicks. Comes with being 70

What I do like is access is by train and Metro and travel time inside 39 minutes. Car to Frenchs Forest is shorter timewise but more expensive than the $2.50 pensioner rate
We had 8 players on 2 courts - non-stop play action. Level was not as high as I have been playing - cannot say my play was at its best. Did have one dick partner telling me what to do with no clue on helping how to do it. Was ready to go home. She backed off.
Thinking next steps - more drills and play sessions. Maybe do some coaching with the guy who wants to start sessions at our local courts. I have a feeling about going a long way in 70+ comps. Do I have the patience?
Shopped on the way home - can stop at the Metro interchange station and get shopping done in the time before my next train

A bit short of photos on pickleball days bit there is a new orchid flowering on our deck. It is a pink rock orchid - dendrobium kingianum - come from a friend when her mother passed

Stages of opening. Someone posted a photo on Facebook of one flowering way up north. Good to have them at home. In a few weeks the white ones will show

Last days of the ladies tresses - an oncidium orchid from Mexico - from the same friend
Did cook dinner - butterflied prawns with Peri-peri and lemon-garlic butter sauces. Cheat chips in airfryer and a side salad. Sorry - no photos
