Actually, if truth be told, I started watching it, and then drifted away, and have drifted back. I think I’d like Roddick to win, just because I like new people to win, and I kind of go off players when they (seem to) start chasing records, but I really don’t mind. What I am now wondering is who’s going to win Wimbledon, ‘cos I really need to go and light the bbq!

Following the rather predicable result, I continued to watch the tennis, although with the television twisted around so that I could decamp to the shade of our new umbrella and set my computer up on the table outside. As afternoon drifted into evening we remained there, latterly by the light of candles, fairy lights, and the illumination of the laptop screen … I have progressed well with his secret project. Mwuhahahah… 🙂

Arriving in the car park we had a bacon butty whilst reading until the gates were open and it was time to wander down the road and gain access to the ground – by which time it was already very hot – so we took refuge in the new museum. Emma had never been to the museum, and it was air-conditioned down there so even if wasn’t fascinating down there it would have been worthwhile. But it was great down there and so it was very worthwhile.

We had a wander round the grounds, I bought a Wimbledon seat cushion, we had part one of our lunch and then we found our seats on number one court. Sadly, both Williams sisters had got through and so we had to endure the sight of Venus demolishing yet another opponent. The second of the Quarters with Dementieva was better but still a bit one-sided, but the men’s doubles were good and then the golden oldies match to finish with Forget and Piolene was very entertaining!

Tomorrow I am going, for the first time to Wimbledon. Tomorrow I will be slow-roasting on the south-facing side of Number 1 court, just above the scoreboard…

The garden is really transformed now with plants now in the gravel between the ‘paths’ through the garden.

I finished up just in time to watch the beginning of Wimbledon, and last year’s Girl’s Champion opening play on the brand new Number 2 court.

I do feel a bit guilty for being able to sit and watch the tenning during the day but then I think that its not for want of trying to get a job… :-

In actual fact that didn’t happen so much because the weather was nice and we ended up doing other things and going other places.

I feel it fortuitous then, that by the time I got back from work this evening the only play so far in the Andy Murray match was a couple of fairly routine opening sets. So when I got to watch the second half of the match live, with the rest of the country, I ended up feeling that I had watched the whole match.

And what a match! 🙂
