Tennis and ABC (or is it W?)


WELCOME ON JOANN'S ABC
click here to visit denise the host abc wednesday
*
Is it T or W?
And first W...But her is the W for WATER, we saw this lake in Switserland,
Because I do NOT ike the break the rules of ABC-WEDNESDAY I must name a W
My back name is WALRAVEN, I still use my maiden name my Daddy's name..
____________________________________________________________
I really Thought today's letter was a "T"....
Maybe I am all confused here but I really thought that todays ABC WEDNESDAY letter was a T
So I am doing the T and the W: BOTH....
I love reading books, this week I am reading a book named TIRZA, a great book wrtten by Arnon Grunberg , he's a great writer its story about a father who raised the youngest of two daughters TIRZA, beautiful name though...
Above: the bookcover of a book Iam reading named "Tirza"
Above: My unused TENNIS racket ,
My favorite HEAD- Tennis-racket is unused because of my surgery on my shoulder, normally I would play TENNIS twice a week, on the Tennis court behind our house, the poor racket:)
Above: Me with 1 arm instead of TWO,
Thats why I cannot play tennis, but I m doing better everyday , my fysio THERAPist is helping me to move better , because after the surgery it takes a couple of monts to move as usual . I can tell you that I become MORE creative every day! Yesterday I wnet by BIKE to Huizen because I needed to see a Dentist..., BIKING with one arm..haha!. yes I did! So don't feel Sorry for me, there are much worser things in life!
More about T's
I do not like TICKELING (kietelen) because than I must laugh so hard that I P... in my pants.. Besides coffee I like to drink all kinds of TEA I like the mango taste from South African TEA. My favorite Dutch/Canadian Uncle is named THEO he wrote a fantastic and informative blog about Parkinson, thats really worth a visit! My favorite aunt is named TRUUS, we are really soulmates in lots of things we are alike, like some thoughts/habits and we like the same food and drinks...

JoAnn, beware ... don´t push things to the limit ... nothing worst than having to go back for surgery ... so please take care on riding bikes with only one good arm and no tennis for you also!

Thanks for commenting,

Thanks Esnorway

Thanks and YES Quint,
I will be carefull with moving, I just HAD to go to the dentist ( by bike) and no-one was able to bring me (yes a taxi, but for 60 euro's... are they nuts!) So No I wil not play tennis nor driving a car, or other heavy (painfull!) movements... Thanks

Thanks Evlahos I think I skip the heavy lens (135-400 I have the same lens but from NIKON) for health reasons as named in my blog...

JoAnn, 60 euros? Gee!

About being hot ... I live about 25 kilometers from the sea and it gets pretty hot ... today I guess we will be having between 30 to 34 celsius degrees.
And sometimes near the sea, because we are in the North of Portugal, it's cold and windy.
Strange weather sometimes.

Nearly all beaches on the North of Portugal have strong northern winds whom we call "nortadas" and water that is freezing.

The inner regions, like Trás-os-Montes or Alentejo those may get 39 or even more celsius degrees.

I guess that's why we do love our beers or our fresh "vinho verde" (green wine) that is sparkling and smooth ... if you see it for sale in Holland give it a try. I guess if you find them it will be some "Gatão" or "Casal Garcia" ... not our best, but they will give you the general idea.

We have better ones here and spaniards from Galiza also make one, but ours is more sparkling!

Oh good, a new word -- kietelen...

I think I'll go kietelen my cat...

And yes, I guess kietelen is something a person can do with one wing...   Hope your recovery is progressing properly.

Very sorry to hear about your shoulder and the contraption you must wear. This sounds a bit like what I went through when I tore my rotator cuff. I'm hoping not to do that again, but, as you say, there are much worse things in life. Glad to see you are adpting with your cell and one-handed bicycling.

The sunset and the reflection photo are amazing given that they were done with just a cell phone. Well, it's the eye not the camera that counts, and yours is a good one.
