First session of 2024 yesterday as the temperature was not too bad yesterday morning and for once it wasn't raining. Played two doubles matches, lost the first one 13-0. I was very very rusty and had trouble staying in the lane at first. But it started coming back in the second game and we won 13-8 and I played some balls I was very happy with.
The four new pistes are now in use and we have fancy new scoreboards as well. Zoom right in to see them...

Still in remission.
Still waiting for a date for the cement process.
Mobility still not too good, keep aiming for a decent number of steps a day but they do get harder, range gets shorter and my speed over anything but perfectly flat ground gets slower. Often need to go and walk the corridors here to get the step count up - at least I can work up to a more respectable speed there, while running the old "Straight, square, balanced, even" mantra through my mind... Learned that one from a so-called osteopath in Suffolk at the end of the 1970s, never forgotten it.
Today's post - we now get two deliveries a week, more or less - contained nothing about bone cement dates. I keep hoping. But it did have a thick sheaf of paperwork about my recently-renewed mobility scooter insurance. Last year I had great difficulty and trouble and phone calls before getting any documentation out of them, either paper or online. Now I have four separate but identical copies of it... Sometimes you just can't win.
On to next month.
I have my appointment for CT scan and pre-assessment at UCLH (Euston) on Wed 17th, probable surgery date for the cement injection Thursday 2...
