Another good news day!
Had a bit of a chat with Chris as we drove back to Durham - he is really growing up!
When i got home Ian gave me the news that we had a new addition to the family -Reuben!
It seems so strange when i think back to our childhood and think of Mam & Dad, getting used to Sue being with Russ. Of course Sue & Russ turned out to be one of the best couples, and have since gone on to have a great and loving family. Claire has 2 lovely kids - Katie (who i love - and is so very much like us!! Dad would have loved her!) and Daniel (who is a lovely kid too!). Jane now has 3 boys - Aaron, Lucas and Reuben (i wonder if he knows that Bob Dylan once sang about him!) and she is a lovely and caring mum.
It is interesting to look at your past and then to see the immediate future!

Today at Wimbledon
What a day!
Had a crap day at work (so, what's new!). Looked forward to seeing Andy Murray beat Rafael Nadal on Centre Court today - but, of course that didn't happen. Andy started off really well - played amazingly aggressive Tennis against Rafa, but, even though i was impressed with this style of play, i along with many others knew that it was just a matter of time before the Spaniard began to wave his magic wand and produce winner after winner. As is so often the case in Tennis, One point seemed to change the whole course of the match. Andy was a set up and had an easy shot to make it 3-1 in the second, but he missed an absolute sitter. From then on the match seemed to belong to Rafa. The outcome was inevitable, and Rafa won in 4. My critique is that, although i think Andy murray is an amazing player with a worthy style of play that is worthy of winning a Grand Slam. Unfortunatly, i don't think this will ever happen - as i feel that this was his prime opportunity, which he didn't take. I only hope that Andy doesn't get crucified by the British media as i think he gave it everything he had - he just met a better man on the day (and i'm afaid this will be the case throughout his career!(
