Such a delightful sight to see Britain's Queen Elizabeth II having a brief visit with Andy Murray and Jarkko Nieminen right after their second round match in Centre Court in Wimbledon. I couldn't help but smile as I watched that moment play out on television tonight. Both Murray and Nieminen must be beside themselves with having been accorded this extraordinary privilege.
Today, am considering using my PC only when necessary. My wrist(s) is aching again so operating the mouse can sometimes be excruciating. And thankfully, there are only handful of papers to go through and sign, registration finally being over. Good excuse to sit back here at my desk and read a book for a change, huh?
It's already the fourth day of Wimbledon, half of the men's draw have played their second round matches and yet the first round match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut has not ended. (The match was suspended due to darkness for the second time at 59-all in the fifth set!) I must admit I was totally floored when I found out about this while scanning news headlines on the Internet this morning. You've got to feel both admiration and pity for the poor fellows in this epic battle of wills.
While chatting with my sister via Yahoo! Messenger earlier, she didn't reply for quite a while only to finally pop up nearly half an hour later to say that they had to evacuate their office building because there had been an earthquake. Turned out to be quite a strong earthquake--and a rare one in that part of the world.
