It is another grey rainy day. Pleased that I booked an introduction to pickleball session indoors. Drove my wife to the station so she could go to office. That got me moving - stayed up as had to let the cleaners in

alt

Picked this location for the pickleball session as it is a short walk from Crows Nest Metro station. Had not noticed the person in high visibility vest at the cross street lights. Saying his prayers or not feeling good

alt

North Shore Indoor sport centre - a multi sport venue - basketball, volleyball, badminton, pickle ball - makes for a mishmash of lines.

alt

Instructor did a good job introducing the game - basics on rules, scoring, serving, court positioning. Did some basic skills and some games. Scores explained at every step. I learned a lot and.got some tips on service. It seems that my technique from squash is not in the rules. Was given an alternate approach where the rules are easier. All about keeping the head of the paddle below the wrist

Glad I spent the money. My Shoalhaven Heads friends were not very specific about some key things. Was a good intro to joining this club.

Did the shopping on the way home. Busy afternoon finishing off last week investing stuff before I had to go pick up my wife. Did a different station - a lot easier

Dinner - duck confit legs with duck fat potatoes

alt

Was able to roast the potatoes in maybe two table spoons of duck fat. Used a small container and lots of turning

alt

Duck legs were pre-prepared - bake in the oven and then brown a bit under thr grill. Served with cranberry sauce and cooked cauliflower
