The Barcelona tournament came to an end yesterday, with finals played in most divisions followed by an awards ceremony.

I won my singles over Carmen Chilleda from Madrid and was successful. The tournament had pretty glass trophies to go with prize money for the winners and losing finalists. For doubles three was a trophy.

I watched Heide Orth play Michelle Bichon (Bichon won) with Ellen and Lutz Neumann, then packed to get ready for an early flight to Bordeaux where I play Monday.

Adios Barcelona, Bon Jour Bordeaux.
