It's
Wimbledon fortnight at the moment – or rather it comes to an end today with
Federer versus Murray and it's the first time a British player has been in the
final since 1938 (except, of course, he's Scottish). The centre court now has a
roof, which means that rain won't stop play, but unfortunately, NoVisibleLycra
doesn't have a roof - just leaky crash helmets.
Right now
it's bright outside, but over Andy's way it's raining still so we've decided to
abort our ride. We were out yesterday, but just to the Tatsfield bus stop,
which was pleasant. Yesterday, however, was another day of on and off rain so
I'm amazed we didn't get a soaking. Andy said this morning that he DID catch a
soaking, but I managed to get home just in time, having already sheltered under
an awning in Hamsey on the way home.
Unbelievably it looks like a nice day, but there's probably some dark clouds somewhere. |
This
year, or rather this summer, has been a wash-out. Yesterday's ride and last
week's were the only rides for about a month. I think the last one prior to
last week was the teashop in Godstone (which was definitely prior to 8 June
when I left my last job).
Two
paragraphs ago I said it was 'bright outside', but now it's not; it's raining
again, very fine rain, but rain nonetheless. This is, of course, England, but
this is easily the worst summer in ages.
In the news: Serena
Williams wins the women's final at Wimbledon (that was yesterday); the
aforementioned floods in Southern Russia killed 144; Libya has started counting
the votes in its first election since the overthrow of Gaddafi,
