Having just survived a round of redundancies – I really feel for him… although he already had an interview lined up for something new… so I am keeping fingers, toes and eyes crossed for him.
We did the Park and Ride today and as we came into the gates the Stewards were busy telling everyone where the best place to stand would be and where the queen would be coming along.
It’s kinda hard not to get caught up with it all – and so we made our way up to the hill and just as we got to the steps – I saw James (Jambon) and Kelle from am.com standing in a prime spot in the corner … but with everyone crowding up there – there wasn’t much time to do anything but wave at them as we tried to find a decent spot.
All the Umps and Linesjudges were in their kit and looking all smart and shiny and people were pretty excited… especially when the BBC showed a shot of the hill, people started waving causing a spur of expectation that she was coming!
You knew when she was on his way – the TV screen televised her car(s) arriving and the Doppler effect of applause as she was making her way along the hill with the entourage was a giveaway.
The pics at this stage were mainly of the top of her hat! Seriously – it could have been ANY old biddy under there – I was a bit disappointed but I got a chance for a decent pic later … woot!!!
So Queenie been-y gone-y … we wandered over to the Practice Courts…
Soderling was hitting with David Ferrer.
We also caught Justine…
… Oudin (who was either coming or going) and saw Stosur walking through on her way back.
We had toyed with the idea of trying to get to Court 18 for the resumption of the Isner/Mahut match and caught sight of Mo-Lay…
Fitzy had asked me to stop by Court 9 if we could to catch Knowlzee and Fish – so I duly obliged from the corner… not sure about the matching headbands…!
Mo-Lay!! =D
