Checking the Flow

An early morning swim in DL's outdoor pool this morning was so lovely - warm and invigorating, although under an overcast sky. Later, when enjoying my Bircher muesli looking out on the refurbished tennis courts, I was entertained by the almost balletic performance of the two machines swishing to and fro - one depositing an even layer of sand on the 'grass' and the other vigourously brushing it in. Not quite sure what the role of the third man was - maybe keeping the other two on the straight and narrow as he passed the time with a fag! Here the second man is taking a close interest in the rate of flow from the hopper. By the time they had finished not a grain of sand was to be seen. Perfection for all those budding tennis champs!
