This week, mostly

I'm watching.....

Wimbledon on the box. It's been 30 years since I last went there. Shame Henman is out, well he didn't stand much chance but as John McEnroe said they could have scheduled it for tomorrow so he had a rest first! Watched a good match with Scotsman Alan Mackin and Cypriot Marcos Bagdatis. Marcos was so ill I thought he would scratch but he overcame a back injury, a pulled knee, a groin strain, a hacking cough and almost throwing up on court to win. As the comentator said, we had every conceivable drama on court 3 today! See the match report

I'm eating.....

Strawberries. Need I say more except that I had a rare treat last night of a dessert I first had in Turin about 25 years ago. Slice some ripe strawberries into a bowl. Sprinkle over a generous amount of Cointreau or Grand Marnier liqueuer. Eat the fruit then drink the liqueur. Fabulous.


I'm smelling.....

the scent of the surfinias and verbenas in the hanging baskets round my back door. Now it even smells like summer.
