Really, though, I hate sports and my idea of fun is keeping rallies going for ages—sending the shuttlecock into high, perfect arcs until it sails down and thunks against another racket and starts its trajectory again. And me shouting "Battledore and shuttlecock!" just because it might be one of the most fun things to say...

DeleteSounds like great fun. I haven't played badminton in years either.
ReplyDeletePS - Love the Kosoy+Bouchard berry bowls!
Thanks! They're from my shop!
Deleteoh, that satisfying sensation of the shuttlecock hitting the exact centre of the racket! so much more suited to heat than the pound and rush of tennis.
ReplyDeleteYES!!!
DeleteI loved badminton in high school! Must play it again
ReplyDeleteLove this ! I hate sports too! I like old-fashioned activities like row-boating, snow-shoeing, badminton, croquet, bocce, etc!
ReplyDeleteI'm being transported to some Merchant Ivory set...oh the Pimms and the jolly good fun of it all :)...in just a few lines you've beautifully nailed it...again.

If only the noncompetitive cooperative badminton league that I belonged to were more official. We meet a few times a year, to celebrate birthdays.
