Picking up the GF from the airport around 5-ish. She's been on a course all week.
Playing cricket tomorrow. Christ knows what else.

A squash lesson? With a coach? Have you ever played before?

The last time I played squash I moved in front of my opponent slightly too early and ended up getting hit squarely in the ringpiece with the ball.

Well at least I think it was the ball.

yes, but not for a long time
had a game with my friend the other week, but whilst we can both hit the ball well enough, there's a lot to learn in terms of tactics and shots. so we'll have a few lessons, if we like it, we'll join a league. although it's totally male dominated. which i suspect means we won't win a single match, even in the very very bottom leagues :(

Some advice...
Hit it very hard. Or very soft. Or lob it. Or drop it. Just pick a shot randomly and do it. Keep your opponent guessing. Try to stay in the middle of the court.

I appreciate that, in football terms, this is equivalent to "put the ball between those sticks over there".

it's primarily practice i guess
but when you're both as new as each other, you need someone better than you are to practice with, i think.

My ex had her shoulder blade broken by being smashed into the wall playing squash

WTF? It is a non-contact sport, isn't it?

It would seem not
