Today is the start of Wimbledon 2023 but sadly without Sue Barker commentating. The BBC who televise the event has put Clare Balding in charge and I know you are not supposed to say this of people but I really, really don’t like her! I can’t even stand her voice! So I am spending all my time muting the sound whenever she is on. Sue Barker used to be at the studio in Wimbledon all day from the start of transmission to the end but Ms Balding did not pole up until 3.00pm! Says a lot for how our National broadcaster is doing things these days!
Anyway in celebration of it being Wimbledon Coco has a new tennis ball to play with, although I suspect she will lose it!
The weekend was manic with the Carnival but DH, Eldest, Youngest and Girlfriends all helped and although it was a long day they had fun too. I spent my time ferrying people around which was fine and the rain held off, so another bonus. DH was out at a swimming event yesterday but it finished early which again was a bonus. We have our own swimming open next Saturday and it is supposed to be hot again, just when we have to spend several hours in a hot swimming pool!!!
Coco has her spa day on Friday and I am having my hair cut on Thursday!!!!!
New tennis balls are always a treat at my house. I actually got a new one from mom’s stash yesterday. When a tennis ball splits and gets a hole in it, mom tosses it and I get a new one 🙂 Happy Tuesday!
The quality of almost everything is going down these days, it seems. I’m sorry Wimbledon has been made a less pleasant experience for you – there are just some voices that just grate on your ears and definitely are not pleasant to listen to. I hope wonderful play will make up for it! I saw a video on the training of the ballboys/girls with Princess Catherine and Roger Federer talking to them and playing a bit of doubles – Catherine was able to get a ball by Roger! She is a lovely representative for the UK and Commonwealth. I hope you can still enjoy the tennis!
