Blogging it up

Well it's been a good few months since my last post. I'm dissapointed in myself in that i didn't keep it going very regularly, after a promising start in my blogging career. I have a bit more freedom now that my marketing course has finished, so i hope to write more frequently.

Yesterday i went to Wimbledon. It was nice to break up the working week and get some fresh air, as JGA is renowned for its dungeon like atmosphere. Luckily we had court one tickets, so we scooted past the poor sods in the queue that had camped out on the pavement in the off chance of getting a show court ticket. It was odd but very funny how some people paid £2 to get on the bus, to realise that the bus was for ticket holders, having to get off where the queue started, which must have only been a 20 yard trip.

We saw some good matches. Ivanovic won 10-8 in the last, in what was possibly the longest women's match i've seen, saving two match points along the way. She's smoking hot too, so its good she's still in the tournament, otherwise we'd have to resort to staring at Mauresmo's scabby, hairy legs for our kicks. The other matches saw Bhagdatis and Ferrer go through with relative ease, so there were no major upsets on our court.

I'm playing tennis myself tonight in a match against the other Lowlands team. My game is frustrating me at the moment. I seem to hit the ball really well in practice, but can't replicate it during the match. I think nerves have something to do with it, which is a shame. I'm hoping our captain won't pair me and Ben together. We don't play well together at all and the last match saw us effing and blinding, feeling sorry for ourselves. The bad blood from last season seems to have subsided with the mixing around of players this year, which is probably the reason why a shapla dinner awaits us afterwards.

I shall take note of your match nerves and try to exploit them. Althogh i've been suffering from exactly the same thing - i even double faulted 3 times in a row last night.

I'm just looking forward to shappy.
