Have several book reviews to do but have to report that I have spent nearly all day watching the tennis which has been really entertaining. Had to finish off the fifth set of a match in the men's singles which I watched till 9.45 pm last night and had to be abandoned as the light was really bad, then Murray came out and obliterated his opponent, then there was another late night match between Ferraro (wonder if his nickname is Rocher?) of France against Gonzalez of Chile which also went to five sets on a packed No 1 court and was simply hugely entertaining and full of brilliant shots, and I have been glued to the sofa all day and am now exhausted. And I was only watching.
Have to say that the good matches, the interesting matches and the fun matches have all been in the Men's Singles event. The women have been soooooo boooooring and the inevitable Williams sister final looms which I shall not bother watching as I will not care who wins.
Today two women's seeds went out to a qualifier and a German teenager respectively and that has gingered things up a bit, but sadly those two meet in the next round so one of them will be gone. Not a vintage Wimbers so far but shaping up nicely.
I now feel exhausted just from watching and feel as if I have been slamming forehands, backhands and cross court volleys around the Centre Court so am taking myself off to the locker room in a bit.
Normal (book) servicee will be resumed tomorrow and thought you might like to see this picture taken on our way to Hay from which you will see just how gorgeous the weather was.
