Another day, another Wimbledon visit; managed to get the tickets on Sunday before an afternoon of liquid refreshment with visiting friends in Covent Garden before joining regular tennis-watching mate for our planned trip to Glee at the O2. It was our original intention to join the queue – although browsing the forums saw some misinformation about the fact that people were being turned away. Turns out that people were not being able to join the queue for show court tickets (if that’s what they wanted) but the queue was ok-ish for groundpasses, although that 2nd Monday is always mental because of 4th rounders all over the place.
The weather was hot. And I mean HOT! Those who know me well know that I get cold in a sauna. It will no doubt be a total shock to them that I managed to survive a full 12 hours in tshirt and cropped trews ALL day – even being sat under the roof until after 9pm! Makes a complete change from the Wednesday when I ran off to the Ladies to don a thermal running/skiing top!!!
We trotted off to the Practice Courts spotting a few good names along the way:
Berdych
Aga
Jo (hearts!)
Petko/Ivanovic
And the icing on the cake…
Wills and Kate! (ok – Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!)
