Pickleball under the shadow of Coolangatta Mountain: August 15 2026
You cannot believe how nice it is to wake up before the sun rises without being woken up by the 5am toilet flush upstairs and the periodic slamming of the sliding doors and windows. Been nearly 3 years and this is doing my head in.
Had hoped for a dry morning to get on the bike to find more orchids. Not to be - rained a whack of the morning. Best place to hide then is catch up on the week's investing stuff with an eye on the mountain. Got time - dry enough to ride and walk or play pickleball. My wife had done her morning stuff - not feeling well - resting
Rain had stopped a few hours and clouds over the mountain were breaking up - a good chance for pickleball at 3pm
Turned into a perfect afternoon to play. Standard is a bit lower than I have been playing but I cannot say my play was - lots of mistakes. Quite different playing outdoors in the setting sun. Enjoyed being out with people I have played with a few times
What I also enjoy is jumping on the bike to get out to do my thing
Friends came over for dinner with a difference. We bought the Chinese duck and they cooked the Margaret Fulton version. We did a cheese palte and cooked rice and played with the dog. Chef enjoyed a night off cooking the main course. Good way to end a quiet dsy with no sliding doors.
Will end the episode with a thought. Pickleball has a mantra of friendly. This is where I first played - Shoalhaven Heads Pickleball live the mantra
