An hour and a half on the tennis court this morning and I was completely beat when we decided to stop - we all were! In fact, when we got to 5-5 in the second set we agreed to make the next game the decider. Otherwise we might have gone to 6-6 and have had to play a tie-breaker. None of us wanted to do that.
It has been decided by the powers that be that we may now play doubles so that's a relief. Since getting home I have been feeling a bit squeamish so may have a bit of heat stroke. Not surprising as it was in the high 20's right from first thing, and very humid. I spent the afternoon napping.
A bit of an adventure in the kitchen today - I made a Pesto sourdough loaf and it turned out brilliantly! The sourdough starter could have done with fermenting a bit longer but did give the bread a nice tangy taste. Also I was able to use my own pesto sauce. I think I have worked out the kinks from the last unsuccessful attempt, so will definitely make it again. I have "fed" the starter so it will be good for another loaf or two.
Tennis sounds fun, and definitely exhausting. Please do remember to keep very hydrated these days. I was reminded just last week that not doing so easily causes those type and other symptoms with much less strenuous activity than tennis.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to be careful. Funnily enough the symptoms didn't come on until several hours after I stopped exercising. A bit confusing.
DeleteHope you are feeing a little better after that gruelling game of tennis, your pesto sourdough sounds yummy. I have often toyed with the idea of making a sourdough starter but the process sounds so long winded and time consuming I've yet to take the plunge!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping my my blog, have a great week.
I'm afraid I cheated a bit and didn't leave it as long as required to ferment properly. The end result is usually well worth the effort.
DeleteJust reading this post makes me feel exhausted!
ReplyDeleteI've taken it really easy today and it is supposed to be cooler for our game tomorrow.
