Lots of Pickleball

Yesterday I went over to Scotstoun Sports Centre to play Pickleball. James headed up to Ullapool to climb a Corbett so I took the train to Scotstounhill and then walked fifteen minutes. It’s a while since I have taken the train so far along this route so I enjoyed seeing all the stations like Hyndland Jordanhill. The sports centre is about fifteen minutes walk from the station and I arrived in good time. I got very very hot during the session, but enjoyed it. When I got home I sat out in the garden with the cats. Jennifer is experiencing 34 degrees heat in the Dordogne and it’s only about 20 degrees here but it still felt lovely and warm. 

Today I played more Pickleball in Cambuslang. It was warm at the tennis courts but lovely to be in the fresh air. There were only four of us today and we had a great time. Marjory really is a very good player, she can reach all sorts of shots and return them to the right place. Back home u had lunch and then set off to Queen Street station where I caught the 15.07 to Inverness. I had upgraded myself to 1st Class because it was only £8 more, and the carriage was almost empty. It was a very relaxing three and a half hour journey, with complimentary coffee and biscuits. James had been climbing yet another Corbett (he now has only 28 to go) and he met me at the station. We had a quick meal at a nearby Wetherspoons before I drove back to Ullapool because James was feeling dehydrated and headachy after his hill-walking. It was nice to be back in the cottage but we both missed the cats.
