Wimbledon 2012


So much to write about! But everyone knows about it all already so I’ll just add a few things;

1) Venus Williams has amazing legs

2) I love the story of how and why Mr Williams taught his daughters to play

3) I never knew that doubles partners could be from different countries to each other but I loved the Danish guy’s style when he got interviewed and I really hope he does well in singles sometime soon.

4) The men’s final wasn’t a complete slaughter as the vast majority of us had predicted. It was actually a really good game to watch and now Andy Murray seems just as human as the rest of us!

5) Roger Federer’s twins are adorable. I did think it was a shame that he was married but his wife is kind of pretty and his kids are cute so yeah, good for him. (I love it when famous people have proper families.)

6) When the roof came on, Federer was in his element and though the tennis was good to watch, I think we all knew which way it was going. The roof AND the grass? That’s like Federer’s ultimate court.

7) But to be honest, Federer’s kind of in a class of his own with his jackets for the presentation and his little RF logo. So yeah, I want to hate him for being so good at his game and beating Murray but he seems like a nice enough guy and he’s cute so I hope he doesn’t disappear altogether when he retires.

8) All in all it was a good championship. All the winners deserved to win and I think Andy Murray’s Grand Slam victory should be coming up soon. I can’t believe the whole tournament only lasts two weeks! Seems like ages. And they’re using Wimbledon for the Olympic tennis too which should be good. I have no idea how they’re going to get Centre Court back in good condition again. They must have some grass experts or something. Unless they lay new turf which is just cheating. Maybe they’re going to leave it and let it grow naturally. But they’ll want it looking good, won’t they?

Oh man, I was meaning to keep this short!

I haven’t really been in the writing mood/zone whatever you want to call it since finishing that. I’ve got ideas yeah, but I dunno. Nothing’s sticking with me long enough to turn into a story. I need to do that Insomniac thing too. Hmmm…We’ll see.

There is quite literally torrential rain here. It was seriously the worst I’ve seen on Friday morning. The weekend was OK but now it’s started again. Woo hoo.
