I played this weekend, here in Adelaide. On Thursday and Friday, I played with my mother in the inaugural Womens' Swiss Pairs associated with the Autumn National Open Teams (hereafter referred to as ANOT), and despite my inability to let my mother play more than two hands a match until the last one 
, and not having played together since August last year, we came 8th out of 26 pairs, and were the highest placed exclusively South Australian pair. Yay prize.
Then came Friday night, and the start of the ANOT proper. Our team (of two pairs) started out playing a team which included the husband of one of the members of our other pair
The ANOT proper, I played not with my mother, but with someone from Sydney who I've played with in one other event, several months ago.
We had a blast.
Our team came 17th out of 56 (not bad for unseeded people who haven't played together recently (in my partnerships' case) or at all before (our teammates)!), and my partner and I, when scored as a pair against the average scores of the entire event came 10th.
AND I got a tentative offer of (minor) coaching
, compliments from players I respect , played against people I wouldn't otherwise get a chance to play , and best of all, I had a really great time.
And now to start cooking dinner
