In this game J is the WD in green
It will be recalled how I boasted and bragged,
Till everyone tended to get sick and gagged,
At the fact that young J was current year’s champ
For moving at speed while immersed in the damp.
Today we attended her efforts to play
In matches at netball; four on the same day;
We’d only known name of her team in the school –
For that’s how identified there, as a rule.
But when against other schools called on to play,
They are given gradings, in the usual way:
That’s how we discovered that, far from the worst,
Our J is selected to play in the first!
Not only, then, is she best swimmer in grade,
But, also, at netball skills she has it made,
So, we are quite sure to be kept on the run,
Especially if, like today, her school has won!
We had a full day. First a visit to the urologist who was running late and kept us waiting for one and a half hours, and then a quick lunch of pies and coffee at the home of Sister-in Law before going to watch R doing squad swimming. We deserted this part of the way through for the netball matches.
No further progress was made on the swimming pool fix!
You left out the most important info!
What was in the pies for lunch?
I’ll wager just by looking at her pics, that J does pretty well in school too. Looks a very determined young miss.

Ah yes. Apologies for the omission. Pepper steak.
She is a good all-rounder, if inclined to be too sensitive for her own good.

that’s not very helpful, sensitivity can spoil a life.

Not only the accolades gained, she is to be respected for her efforts and persistence – and motivation to try and work hard. Cheers!

Of JOATs we should be proud
for few are so endowded.
They should be cheered aloud
and encouraged to take a bow.
I’m not very good at poetry
as I like it far less than trigonometry.

I take it trigonometry
Is something bullets you set free
When pulling on it, yes?
(It was only a guess.)

More like the unconscious calculations one does when playing any sport involving balls and targets. But, yes, also when shooting, although in both cases that’s only a small part of the physics involved.
