For much of the day I played tennis down at Colinton Mains
Park. I was down there early on with my large bottle of diluted Tree-Top Orange
and came back home to 6/2 Oxgangs Avenue just before dinnertime.
The fantastic summer weather continues. It was even hotter than
yesterday; I've picked up a great tan.
After dinner and a wee cool break with
the living room curtains drawn I went back down to the park for another game of
tennis. It's been a great way to spend a summer's day so I was quite
happy to put my feet up in the evening and watch Stanley Baxter, Leslie
Phillips and James Robertson Justice in The Fast Lady.
It was absolutely
brilliant - what a hilarious film. I was lying on the floor splitting my sides
laughing, especially the scene when the ill patient makes a remarkable recovery
off the abandoned ambulance stretcher when he sees out of control learner
driver Murdoch Troon (Stanley Baxter) in The Fast Lady bearing down on him at
high speed; what a tonic that film is!
