Badminton was one of the few sports like activities I actually could play. I remember the sad repeat of "shuttlecock" from The Good Soldier too. I'll help you with that net. I see someone brought a lovely green salad, bright with red and yellow tomatoes, and crunchy with celery and peppers. I guess that someone too shy to speak up. And who could have a picnic with Jello and Cool Whip with fruit suspended inside? My gosh, that brings back memories. The sun is bright and hot in the sky. Doesn't look like a danger of rain anywhere. But I could always be wrong. I'm getting a drink of that pink lemonade before it's all gone.
