I know.

Gawd, Murray's just hit his first slump of the tournament in what should be an another easy straight sets win for him on paper. Aargh, does my head in. Come ON Andy!

Must be time to give him a 'mint' and 'hurry' him up a bit then.

I just booked a 6 days trip to Iceland in mid-July for my summer holidays !
I dreamt to visit this country for 15 years and now I saved enough to go and longer than planned as I found great price for it !
Damn, I'm soooooooooo happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! violently happy even

Great,Alex!

Oh my god Alex, that's brilliant! I'm so jealous, I've always wanted to go there.

The bargain price might be due to the fact they have a volcano erupting at the moment.

I'll stick a cork in

Good news, Alex! That is really exciting.

Re: the heat, I tend to enjoy every minute of it. Winters just seem so looooong, I'll take a 90 degree day any day. Er, that's Farenheit. My husband and I go back and forth, he likes the air conditioning on, I prefer the windows open. Oh well.

We found out yesterday that I am having a boy... I will officially be seriously outnumbered, but that's okay. Now we have to whittle down this list of over 20 names.

Not much to contribute to the tennis talk, however you might get a laugh that i recently read Andre Agassi's autobiography... and thought it was fantastic.

Agassi was one of my favourite players, I might have a look for that.

Little boy! Good luck on whittling down the list of names, my daughter and her partner are currently battling over that. They want an Italian name because his daddy is Italian, but they keep veto-ing each other's choices. Kate is determined to call him Matteo, but daddy hates it. He wants Luca.

I told her the other night that when he's actually born, his name might just pop into both their heads simultaneously. When I was pregnant with her I had various names, I was quite sure I was going to go with Jamie (after Lindsay Wagner's character in the Bionic Woman - childhood hero of mine! ), the name Kathryn never entered my head until I looked down at her when she was born.

Ouch doesn't sound very Italian to me?

Have a great time in Iceland, Alex?
By sheer coincidence i'm going to Iceland tomorrow.........right after i've finished at Sainsburys.

I'm sure my holidays at the frozen food chain will be very cool

Rob if you're going to Iceland can you pick me up some Linda McCartney sausages? I really fancy some but it's too hot to go up town. Just post 'em to me.

So, Murray got through his quarter-final, I really thought he was going out to Tsonga. And Federer out!! OMG!! I guess it's Nadal's year, then.

Nadal looked flaky earlier. Murray can beat him. It's got to be his best chance.

Do Iceland sell Linda McC products? I don't think I've ever shopped in Iceland...


You must have seen those birthday cards involving Fruit and Veg-one of the best is the one with the packet of peas-





I also really like the pun in this one-
