Foam ball tennis



We got introduced to a new sport yesterday...foamball tennis. It is played in a gym with very simple equipment as you can see. It's rather like squash or racquet ball more than tennis really and quite fun and also quite a workout. There's a drop in session Wed and Friday at the Joe Fortes Centre. Equipment is supplied and there was a nice group of people there that showed us how to play.

The day before we played table tennis at Barclay Manor. This is a lovely old heritage home the Vancouver Parks Board has purchased and is using for programs. Jim beat me of course because he is an excellent player but I can still give him a game. In the summer they have a bocce group playing in the lovely grounds so we'll take advantage of that as well.

I also got swimming again this week when we had a bit of sunshine at the Second Beach Pool. It's a huge pool and there were just 6 people in it. That will all change I'm sure when school is out and the sun finally arrives for good but then we hope to be swimming in the ocean.
