8667/21586Now King Harald V and Ratko Mladic are gone? Another part of my childhood gone. It's like 2016 all over again. The parts of Hitchin that had turned to ponds were largely restored to dryness today. I returned to the tennis court and it wasn't even slippy. So I only had the excuse of a month off for my relatively poor play.Catie was our with a friend (hello Kim) so I had to drag my reluctant and squabbling children out to the supermarket. My daughter was adamant that she wasn't coming and would be OK in the house alone.
