Wimbledon

Just had breakfast outside, watching the squirrels dance and jump around. They are so cute.
Last night we went to Wimbledon. It was so exciting to be there. It was a simular feeling as being at the Sydney Olympics. We arrived at about 6pm and had to queue for ages. But even being in the queue was fun because everybody talks and jokes with each other. When we got in after going through airport style security, we wandered around then went to Court 3 where a match was just about to start. It was a women's singles match between Marion Bartoli (runner up in the Australian Open) and some other girl whose name I cant remember. We had really good seats considering it only cost £14 to get in. Marion was down 5-2 in the first set and then ended up winning that set7-5 and the second set 6-1. It really showed the mind games and how your emotions rule the game.
We were a bit distracted by a grunter from 3 courts away. Man she was loud! They could have used her for sound effects in the torture display in the Tower of London. We then watched the rest of a women's doubles match, then we watched the last set of a men's doubles match, which didn't finish until 9.20. They don't even have lights. Can you imagine playing tennis at 9.20 without lights, especially at that level? You get so close to the players when you are watching. I dont think I would bother with Centre Court where you are in a giant stadium. It was such a fun experience. It is such a great atmoshere.
We are spending some time this morning trying to book accomodation for the weekend in the Cotswalds and to book a train to Scotland for Monday. We are having such a great time and it still hasn't rained. I will have to get myself one of those I love London t-shirts.
