No-one mention that match...

What a disappointment,   such a huge build up and... they played like a bunch of kids.   Okay the disallowed goal may have made some sort of difference, but would have only delayed the inevitable.   A far more professional approach to sport is being shown by the tennis players,  as in 'don't win, don't get paid'.   England couldn't even manage a few passes before losing the ball.  How much do they get paid?   Not sure that they should get paid anything for this performance, and send them home cattle class, bring them all back to reality.  Or take them on a trip into the townships....

Oh well, but Mr Murray continues to play well,  demolishing his opponents, and not even having to play well, as in tonight.   His serve was rubbish,   but he got thru with some brilliant play.   Can we all dare to dream that the Scot may show the England team up?  I hope so.  Murray gets on with his work,  does what he needs to to make himself better as a tennis player, and without complaining.   Sadly Henin lost out to the other Belgian Kim Cljisters,  like both of them but would have loved Henin to have got thru.  But she ain't quite there yet,  another few months I think.  Chuffed that Soderling got thru,   he should put Nadal to the test... and hopefully out of the tournament. 

Meanwhile we got rain, not complaining  - yet.  It has saved me from watering garden, with watering can, not a HOSE.   But would like the sun to return soon,  as in tomorrow.   I ordered a nice summer, so expect it to be delivered.   Well last two years of my life have been crap, so figure I am due some luck and change in fortune.   Very lazy day today,  did precious little,  except read paper and watch Tennis,  my luxury day,  all change tomorrow when it is housework and shopping.  Plus windows need cleaning...   calm before the storm. 

Knee has been very niggly,  not sure why,  it does this,  protests very strongly, as if reminding me that all is not well.  As if I need reminding, only have to look at scars.   Was going to wear shorts yesterday, but can't abide looking at scarred knee.   Just two weeks to go to final decision on whether I get new knee this year...  hoping that answer will be yes, cos left knee is also on its way out.
