Two boring finals in two days... was hard to keep awake. Maybe Nadal's opponents should be given a set at start of play... might even things up. Pity as it has been a good Wimbers, some great matches and lots of exciting play, till the finals. Just don't like the bullying style of play adopted by the Williams pair or Nadal. We'll have to see how long Nadal can last, he plays a very physical game, just like Hewitt used to do till he slowed down, and Nadal will lose that speed. Didn't really like how Serena bragged about getting one over on Billie Jean King, methinks in her heyday BJ would have wiped the floor with Serena. Oh well that is it for another year, now got the Open to look forward to, that is Golf! For once Tiger Woods won't be dominating, I don't feel sorry for the guy, he brought it all on himself, he believed in the hype and thought he was invincible. No-one ever is, and sport is cruel, you have a limited time at the top. Just hoping that Capello takes a very sharp axe to the England team, and drops all who didn't perform - which pretty much means a fresh team. Did enjoy watching Germany beat Argentina, kicked myself later as I could have had a juicy bet on Germany winning! Maradona wasn't a happy boy was he? Made my day to see him squirm, he was undoubtedly a brilliant player, but also a nasty little cheat, and karma eventually paid him back for his errant ways. Time cheating was stamped out in football, bring in the use of TV, and crack down on all the cheats, that is why I like Golf, it is an honest sport, and the rules are strictly applied. Pity they aren't in other sports, like tennis, Nadal was taking over 30 seconds between points, he is allowed 20 seconds only. For a man who runs so fast, why is he so slow between points? And will someone kick over those water bottles that he places so carefully on the court! Just hope Beckham stays away from British Grand Prix next week, so far he has put the mockers on England and Murray...
Popped round to Tescos for a few essesntials, bread, milk... and noticed that they'd allowed the community to stage a community fun day, giving over a substantial chunk of the car park, providing the stalls etc, well done Tesco. They also intentionally employed most of their employees from the long term unemployed, all locally. Was in Sainsburies on Friday, it took me ages to find a decent sauvignon blanc, at a decent price, in Tesco's I was spoilt for choice! Weather has defied the experts, so much for the downpour we were supposed to get, it has stayed dry, great for that community fun day, glad it turned out okay for them, but meant I had to go water those thirsty plants. We also have new neighbours, but they aren't doing much to endear themselves to the neighbourhood, so far they've left a load of rubbish in the street, have parked in our street - a no no... so far we're prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt, otherwise they'll meet Arthur, our friendly giant who has a way of persuading people to behave themselves.
Loving our summer, first time in years I have not had to bother with a jacket or waterproof! Had to buy a few more T shirts as well, from M&S, but from the Men's department, sorry but the chaps do have better T shirts, small size fits perfectly, and they have lovely colours these days. Assistant asked me if I wanted gift receipts, I said no as they were for me! The women's stuff is either clingy, and rubbish material, or very sloppy, low cut and doesn't do a damn thing for me. I also like stuff that will last for a few years, stuff that fashion stuff, that is for idiots who have money to burn.
So have to turn attention back to crafting and studying. Pity I have no rewind button, think I'd like to do these last 3 weeks again!
