So yesterday Shan and I played tennis...and let me tell you, what a riot that would have been to watch! For one thing, I have never played before, so that just added to the excitement. We probably played the worst game the sport has ever seen! Once we began we realized that our 'steal of a deal' rackets were indeed child sized and that our 'steal of a deal' tennis balls were the worst pieces of garbage ever...they didn't even really bounce! Sad, I know. But we gave it a go anyway...and like I said, I didn't watch but I imagine it must have been outrageously ridiculous. Near the end we were able to get a rally of about 4 shots going...which was pretty impressive by our standards!
So last night I learnt something AMAZING! Well, technically I am pretty sure I learnt this fact in about Gr. 5 or something, but it had slipped my mind...in Australia they have different stars!!! Last night on the way home from a friends Tim, Shan and I were walking down the beach to the bus and I was pointing out constellations and they didn't know them and so I was amazed (because they were simple ones like the big dipper) and they said they had different stars! How exciting! And! We can sometimes see Mars...but they can sometimes see Venus! Just wanted to share my amazement with the world...
