Set up podium tennis. Children have massive fight with each other. Have a few angry hits myself after they storm inside. Why HIT can’t HIT we HIT just HIT have HIT fun HIT like HIT a HIT normal HIT fucking HIT family HIT It was hard to put in the lawn because, although lush and spongey to walk on, the ground is so hard. Gonna need a deeper hole. Brought it in so it doesn’t get rusty when it rains, which it looks like it will soon. Now I feel a bit flat because the fun thing wasn’t fun for them. I’m gonna stop pouting and make some bolognaise I think.

Have to admit I have no idea what that is.

Actually I think it might be called totem tennis and I miss named it? It’s a pole you stick into the lawn with a tennis ball on a long string attached to the top on a spiral so it spins around when you hit it. You get a couple of bats with it and you can play solo or with two people.

Oh yep I’ve always known that as totem tennis. Never years of podium tennis

Yeah I misremembered the name. Doing that a bit lately whilst not working. Apparently working in a factory keeps me sharp. God help me 🤦🏼♀️

ooh I see, had one of those as a kid too and there were fights :)
I’m finding the cheapo manual auger I got ages ago has made doing clean holes in tough ground a lot easier. Surprisingly seems to be getting more and more use. Could be worth a thought.

An auger 🤔 I feel like we’ve probably got one somewhere… or is it an awl I’m thinking of? I think I’m remembering we have an awl for making holes in leather etc. Geez, a couple of weeks with no work and I feel like my brain’s turning to mush lol 🚫💡
