I haven't played since my last cry for help. I have taken two weeks out owing to catching the much overblown Swine 'Flu and then having a bit of a rest to allow my chest to recover. Not much to report on that front.

Why the blog then? Well, I am on the eve of, for the very first time in my life, seeing some top international class table tennis LIVE. Going to Sheffield tomorrow to watch the first and second rounds of the Men's Singles from the English Open. Tremendously excited as I had worried it would be 2012 before I saw the top 20 players in the world convene in England to play serious competitive table tennis. Should be a blast!
