Current Weather Conditions...

... in England, given the so-cunningly-timed introduction of the ban on smoking, are clearly the Clerk of the Weather's attempt to prove he has a truly unpleasant sense of humour. Either that or punishment for Gordon Brown. (But I thought Gordon Brown was our punishment for Tony Blair.)

Never mind. I shall persist in my stand against this government's roughshod trampling of civil liberties.. oops, sorry, wrong page, that's a rant for another day about something or other. I may not like the ban but this (the petition for JR referred to in the post, not the post itself, obvs) is clearly balls and I hope the costs order reflects that.

Going back to the weather, I bet the AELTCC wish they'd pulled their collective fingers out re sorting out that roof on the show courts at Wimbledon. This must be shaping up as one of the worst Wimbledons, weatherwise, of recent history, and I suspect I am not the only one whose interest has waned as a result.

Play suspended again.
Nadal's match went over 4 days... Chances are high it will go into the third week.

Ah well, it will make a distraction from the Cricket World Cup.

These smoking bans drive me crazy! Let the market dictate which places should be smoking or non; must everything be so regulated???

I couldn't care less if people smoke in pubs; what I hate is walking down the street and the smoke and ash of the person in front is blowing into my face.
