Well, I went down to the family by the poolside while kp slept.

Jane, Guy and I played tennis with the kids as ballboys/ballgirls. Although a 1 year old and a 4 year old don’t quite seem to have the skill of the Wimbledon versions.

On the night time, Mum and Dad stayed at the villa, babysitting and watching the Barcelona / Arsenal match while we all went to Olli’s treff. A lovely meal was had by all.

That’s it for Wednesday.

Lovely day today.

Both kp and I enjoyed a restful cockroach-free night in the hotel (big thanks to Dad for stumping the bill) !!

We had a room service breakfast of croissants and toast on the balcony.

Here is kp after the breakfast at about 10am

She went back to bed until 12pm and then we went in the pool where kp could do her hydrotherapy exercises. I encouraged her to lie on her back (with me supporting her) so she could relax at the end of them, but she isn’t as confident in water as she was pre-accident and although she wasn’t quite screaming, she was raising her voice when she said………………

kp:- David – get me upright again !

An attempt at swimming resulted in the same kind of protest.

When the family arrived, we joined them for ice cream and beer. They shouldn’t really drink beer at such an age, but there is no telling the parents.

Here are the kids. Note Jamie’s (right) skillfull decorating of his face/t-shirt with choc ice.

Then Jane, Guy, Dad and I played double’s tennis. Pollards vs Boxalls. Modesty prevents me from saying if the Pollard’s won. BUT WE SLAUGHTERED THEM !

Tennis over (4pm), it was time for the kids to go for dinner and then bed. Kisses goodbye……………..

 

And now kp and I have come back up to the room for a shower and some peace rest. Tonight, mum and dad are babysitting AGAIN ! And we are off for a meal at another German restaurant recommended by dad. Coming home tomorrow. Big thanks go to Marie who has been dog-sitting for us. From the sounds of it, we are going back to a new house, with a new back garden. She has got 20 rubbish bags filled with garden debris from all the digging up she has done ! THANKS MARIE !
