MORE UPDATE

Robyn, Adam's sister posted an hour ago. 
The team had  two more "huge" wins  today against Bangladesh and Malaysia. 
Gold is in Sight. Tomorrow is the semi-final. 
Tuesday is the game for Gold.
To-day is the Mayor's Sesqui-Centennial levee at the town park.
There's an ice surface. Public skating and possibly broom ball. 
Every living Councillor and former Councillor has been invited for a commemorative photo. 
I was up early this morning. 
I didn't write a blog. I intended to be ready in plenty of time..
It's cold but it's not the cold that worries me. It's the conditions underfoot.
There are many things I  can't  do any more. Like skate or play broom ball.Or dance the fandango. Or  walk with any certainty on an uneven surface.
In my whole life, I haven't done any of those things. Much as I would have liked to.. 
The Sesqui-Centennial committee has worked hard in a short space of time to organise the program. 
If I don't go, I will be letting them down.
On the other hand, nobody should have  to worry about my well-being  at an event like this.
Discretion is the better part of valour.
In this instance, I should recognise my own limitations.
And wish everyone  a very merry time.
