I have decided that at the moment it feels like I am sharing my bed with a Tourette's sufferer, only without the swearing! I can only think that it's the strong drugs that keep making hubby blurt out random statements and name calling in the middle of the night. Most of the time I can't make any sense of it, but I do catch the odd word, "Papa" featured quite strongly in last nights recital.
At least the pain is diminishing from being unbearable to a dull ache, and he is managing to get back to being "normal".
Jess and I started the day with ensuring that the pheasant population left Flicquet and made their way to Guernsey/Sark. I directed the attack and she carried out the orders, with her usual enthusiasm and swiftness . (One day she may actually even catch one). We followed that up with a cheeky early morning swim at Bel Val, it was lovely and surprisingly at 9am we had the beach to ourselves, (!)
Attended a badminton coaching session led by Mark Constable and Nathan Robertson, Mark is a former British no 1 badminton player and is formally 21st in the world in Men’s Singles. He gained bronze at the Commonwealth Games in 1998 and 2002 and has been the Island Champion for the last 8 years. Mark is also the 2010 & 2012 Jersey Open Men’s Singles Champion.
Mark is a voluntary coach and the manager of the Jersey County Badminton Team and gives a lot of time to the Jersey Badminton Association too. The Jersey Badminton Association (JBA) described him as an asset to the JBA and that they are lucky to have him in the Island.
It was such a great opportunity to have some top class coaching from Nathan
His best results include winning gold at the 2004 European Championships in Geneva, and a silver medal at the 2004 Olympic Games, both partnering Gail Emms in the mixed doubles. He has won six medals at the Commonwealth Games, and has won the last four men's doubles (with Anthony Clark) and the last two mixed doubles (with Gail Emms) at the English National Badminton Championships.
So of course I had to have a photo after the session....
Nathan was pretending to pull his hair out at my terrible serving technique, all posed of course!!!
Whizzing home Steve and I spent the afternoon at the waterfront at the launch of " Wet Wheels".
Welcome Aboard!
Wetwheels is a new catamaran that will allow disabled people in Jersey to experience the sheer thrill of being at sea whilst being on a safe and reliable vessel that can be used for fishing trips, exploring the coast or learning how to pilot the craft.
She will bring pleasure to many thousands of wheelchair users and other disabled children and adults.

Steve dropped me a friends home so I could play tennis, we had an excellent ladies double and won 2-1, so a good day all round.
