French Open Fun...
Yes, you should have known, it takes a high-ranking tennis event for me to come out of the woodwork!
I hope everyone is OK. I'm not sure how to sum up everything since the last time I posted, so I'll just randomly ramble on for a while.
Work is fine. Same old, same old really. I started a new project where I was really having to rewrite a lot of copy and I felt this was such a good use of my talents. But unfortunately something new came along which I thought wouldn't be as much of a test. Turns out I was wrong and it is going OK. I'm not confident about many things in my life, but I know that I can write.
I switched to using a Mac at home as well as at work, but I have kept my Vaio laptop. (Sony fangirl alert!) I really don't understand why everyone has to bash PC or Mac or both, they both have their good points and bad. I don't have an iPhone but I'm warming to them, I just tend not to jump on bandwagons. I have never read Harry Potter, or seen Lord of the Rings.
What to sum up re Arsenal's season? I think I went to less games this season. Let me see. Portsmouth on 22nd August (that was a good day, 4-1 win, little black skirt and white away shirt, boiling hot day, free red and white scarf!). Birmingham in October..we were right next to the away section, not much fun...Theo got crocked as well. vs Liverpool in the Carling Cup Now that was a good night, with all the beachballs flying about, and 3 cracking goals. vs Bolton the 4-2, best match I have been to. 2-1 down at half time, I went and got doughnuts and then a miracle. At 3-2 we were singing "We want four" and at 4-2 we were top of the league! Happy days. Shame it didn't last. Then Liverpool on 10th Feb, fucking freezing cold night, like statues in the stand. I have never been that cold while outside before. Not even the hot tea was a relief! Then the last one I went to was Burnley, not a bad match. I think once again, St andrews was the curse for us and we lost all momentum at Birmingham. And the Wigan defeat was pretty bad. Keep the faith, as ever.
Good to see the French Open today and Rafa back in the groove. Really not sure about the shirt. I understand the reasoning for the colours (Green = FO 2005 and 2008, Light Blue = FO 2007, Dark Blue for 06 perhaps?) It reminds me of David Seaman's scary keeper kit during Euro 1996, one that I am sure another member of the Nadal family has nightmares about. But ¡Vamos! as ever.
Greatly enjoying the NHL playoffs at the moment, took much more interest in hockey after playing NHL 10 and am ,loving the run by the Blackhawks, I hope they win the Cup now. Any excuse for a few rounds of 'Chelsea Dagger'.
Looking forward very much to going to see the NFL game at Wembley in October and I have ordered my tickets for the ATP finals in November. Not sure if I will camp at Wimbledon yet. We'll see.
