Wimbledon..

Just about the only sporting fixture that I enjoy. I have always loved watching the tennis, and have watched Wimbledon over the years. Saw roger Federer yesterday in a bit of a worrying match against an unknown chap and he was two sets down at one point, but pulled back to win. i suppose Andy Murray will come along soon and the shouting will start..it was bad enough with Tim henman, it is a lot worse with Andy Murray. Nadal is playing todday, he is looking good.
Stopped in today, did the cooker this morning, and the ironing of the bed linen. trying to get the creases out of that is quite a job, but well worth it.
Gorgeous hot day today, the sky is blue and the sun is shining. Callers this morning..the Jehovahs Witnesses, and someone from an animal charity. VT already donates to the IWF so he does his bit. He said to me "You don't donate to any charity do you" so I said I do give quite a lot to the charity shops which is a form of giving I thought. I tend to give books and decent clothes that have got too big so they should get something for those.
VT is in the garden doing a bit of pottering..in fact he has just come up to say that he has had Rusty sat next to him on the seat. That cat adores him, and will follow him anywhere.
Jane rang up just before lunch to say she wanted to go to Florida!! We said save up..she said what with?
I worked twenty years before we went to florida..the first time we went, I had an endowment policy that had matured and we used that to pay for it. We stayed in a crummy motel next to the Florida Orange on Kissimmee drive, and we had crummy doughnuts every morning and apple juice. But it was the most fantastic holiday, everything was new to us, and so exciting. Wonderful.
Can't see us going anywhere this year, we don't seem to be moving at all.
Tonight we are having:
Sausages and mashed potatoes..might make it into a toad in the hole.
Mushroom gravy.
