Mud Court
Yes, there is a basketball court in this elementary school but it consists of just a makeshift ring on a dirt floor and yet these 5-member teams still seemed to be having an intense game on the mud. They must be really good on a standard court. I wonder.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
Gotta give them a lot of credit for adapting and “going with the flow.”

They are used to play in the mud, won’t do them good to play on a dry field

Can be that or their experience in the mud would make playing in standard court too easy for them. That’s what I’m wondering about. Thanks, scrapydo.

🙂 A couple of bounces and then they will have to pass the ball, I guess.

We never do. We just shift to bigger toys and more stupid games as we age. And so what I miss are smaller toys and simpler games such as this one on the mud. 🙂

Not too late …. it’s easier for big boys to become small boys again, then it’s for us big girls to be small. Just go for it.
