Alas, the wind wrecked any chance Andy had against Rafa. :(

I do not really understand tennis,was it not blowing at Rafa's end ?

I think it was an excuse Tony, pretty lame, but an excuse. I think the other three people who watched the match tried the same one ;D

Glad you enjoyed it David and Carlo will have an opportunity when he has rhubarb. A Spanish friend dropped in this evening and had some. Bread and butter pudding is a regular for him at home but rhubarb was a novel experience.

I'm so happy..... I've got a new camera.  8) 8) 8) 8) 8)  My old one had spots develop on the internal mirrors (most likely dust) and I have had to be very selective about taking photos and placement of the flowers within the frame so I could edit out the dots in the corner.  I haven't yet taken a pic in anger (i.e I've taken a couple of test shots in the house to make sure all is working) but I am off into the garden shortly to try it out.  Yeah!!!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Wind affects subtlety more than it does brute force and ignorance. ::)

I'm so happy because I passed my CBT test for my 125 scooter in a freezing cold Aberdeen today.
Now I have to look forward to my chemotherapy on Monday - Nil desperandum carburundum illegitami as the say in dog latin.

I wonder you weren't blown clean off the scooter in the weather we've been having , Ian!
Good luck with the chemo..... we know you will keep a positive outlook and give it your very best shot!  :-* :-*

It probably wasn't windy in Holland, Maggie, so we weren't acclimatised ::)

In other words: not a good match, no wind, a ref. not seeing everything.
More luck than skill.  ::) ::) ::) but happy though.
