Yesterday I left the house at 7.00am and returned at 7.30pm. A long day. Our tennis club was participating in a tournament involving 5 other clubs. In the morning I won my two matches. My teammates (all French) lost theirs. It was a hot day and there was no shade so we were glad to stop for a bite to eat. The organisers brought round orange juice and rose wine. I declined both, sticking to water. I can't play tennis after drinking wine, even more so in the heat. My teammates all took the wine, laughing at me for being so abstemious. I glanced around and noticed that the other teams were drinking wine as well.
An hour later we re-commenced our matches. I lost my match and all my teammates won. Did I miss out on a good glass of wine for nothing?
I notice that many people in the UK didn't get to have a vote in the European elections. In France, the Brits are complaining that their voting slips didn't arrive in time. Mine did and I sent it back in plenty of time. When I returned here on Wednesday my French voting card was waiting for me with a list of candidates. I am too honest to vote today having had a vote already. Or should I vote on behalf of someone who has missed out?
