We saw the ladies quarter finals on centre court, and had two very different matches, but each three setters so definitely had our money's worth! ( well I am married to a Jersey man! )
The power and speed the ladies travel around the court and whack the balls is incredible , I don't know how the other day little Heather Watson managed to do anything against Serena but she did take her to the wire.
I have to say it my in my personal opinion Serena deserves to win, if only for her court etiquette if nothing else!! There were two ladies that drove me to distraction with their fiddling around receiving balls from the ball boys/girls examining them and the tossing them back to the poor children, GET ON WITH IT. Serena meanwhile took the first ball offered, walked up to the line and served, no nonsense.
Rant over!
Entirely different note, big shout out to our two friends, one restarted chemo in UK third round and the other in Jersey tomorrow. Can't really say they'll be fine and good luck, as its really not fine and good luck doesn't really come into it. All I can hope for is the side effects are manageable and they are both one step closer to getting better and making a full recovery. Love and prayers to them both.
Along the same line I see our lovely friend PS has passed away, I know he did have some extra time that he wouldn't have had with the expensive drugs he had to fight for, but I know it was certainly worth it. He was so kind to me when we bumped into each other either at the beach with the dogs or at the supermarket or dreaded oncology unit. Our condolences go to his wife JS .
I thought I could post photos but they don't seem to have uploaded so that'll wait until I write the next post.
Lastly thank you to all those friends that have dog walked Jess over the last few days, I'll probably find she's had such a good time that she won't be content with our strolls down to Le saie beach and back !
