Opening Ceremony

It rained a little, we made paper planes, the cauldron was lit, the flag raised, oaths taken, long speeches ignored and the party has started - no I mean competition has begun.

Good news. Rae (my doubles partner) has won her first round 6-0, 6-0. And TJ and Michelle (from the Ace Girls) won their first round as well.

Judy plays tomorrow (Monday) - D Grade Doubles and my first match is on Tuesday.

Had a hit today just to keep the serve warm.

We're a little distracted though because Judy's brother-in-law and her sister (who've come specially to the Games) are having some dramas. Pete had to go to hospital this morning after becoming very ill. Looks like he may be there for several days until his condition can be diagnosed. It's very unsettling - especially for Judy's sister Sue and Judy too. Fingers crossed, folks.

The Last Week

Ok - we've picked up the AceGirls shirts - and they fit and they're great and it was pub night which was good.

My last tennis lesson tomorrow night.

Finals of Thursday comp this Thursday.

Last personal training session on Saturday.

Going away booze up on Sunday.

Fly out on Monday.

I have no brain for work.

Everyone Has Her Own Wimbeldon

And we have Foxtel which means that we are now glued to the tv.

My calf is on the mend so I've had a gentle hit with the Ace Girls tonight and I'll go running with Ev tomorrow.

17 days until my last day at work ... not that I'm counting or anything.

This week is also the last week of the Thursday night comp so I'll do Tennis World Workouts for the remaining two Thursdays so that I keep hitting lots of balls.

No Tennis Tonight

We had a bit of a domestic crisis -our geriatric cat, Sherlock, the old man of the house has been unwell so we had to take him to the vet. Looks like it's an inflammatory problem which is a great relief because I was thinking that we might be saying good-bye to him.

Instead, he is spending the night at the vet's so that he can be given a whiff of gas in order to get a blood sample from him. He objected rather fiercely to attempts this evening - that's our boy - stroppy.

So no Ace-Girls tonight but that's ok! I get walked by Ev tomorrow - prepare to sweat!
