Delecate hands
It would appear my squash game is getting better as I won my first game this weekend. OK, yes, I had previously taken The Zozo out for a large meal, fed her booze then woke her from an afternoon nap to play so she may have been a tiny bit off form and she may have won every other game, but that’s beside the point. I’m thinking next week feed her more food, more drink, deny the nap entirely and steal her shoes and I may be able to steal two games of the match 
All this squash (and by all I mean the 3 hours played thus far) is, unfortunately, taking it’s toll on my delicate hands which are used to typing rather than gripping. As a result I have a blister. Actually, let’s be 100% accurate here: I got the blister during the second match, it burst before the end of that and I have since formed a blister on that old blister which has also burst. My thumb is a mess.
To stem the tide of life threatening lesions on my limbs I decided to investigate squash gloves. Turns out there is really only one glove one should be wearing when playing squash and that’s the Bionic squash glove, a rather snazzy white, black and grey affair made with a leather outer in a number of sizes for a perfect fit… of your right hand. That’s right, I can’t find anywhere that stocks the left handed version of this glove and I’m not learning to play squash cack handed.
What I have found is a similar glove for tennis that allows you to buy right, left or both hands. Not knowing the ins and outs of sports equipment I have no idea what the difference between a squash and a tennis glove is. I suspect they’re the same glove so I may well just get the tennis version and hope no one notices.
