Well, lots of things have been happening since my last post.
First of all our daughter Jess had to have an operation on 1st June to have a sesamoid bone removed from her foot. As you can see her foot is now all bandaged up and she's got to rest it as much as possible for 2 weeks until she has the stitches taken out. She's very bored, just sitting round the house watching DVDs and doing puzzles books and I have to run around making her cups of tea and looking after her!
On Sunday Paul and a friend did the triathlon which was held at Blenheim Palace. First of all you have to swim for 750 m in the cold lake, then cycle for 20 km and then run for 5 km. It was exhausting just watching!
On Tuesday I went to Centre Court at Queen's Club to watch some of the Aegon Championships with my Mum and some friends. We had a great day and watched loads of tennis, with only one short rain delay. The final match of the day was Andy Murray and Lleyton Hewitt playing doubles together so we had to stay and watch that but sadly they lost! Let's hope Murray does better in the singles.
On Saturday Paul and I sailed in the annual race around the Isle of Wight in our boat, together with three old friends from university who sailed with us in the sailing club there. We didn't do quite as well as last year but it's such an amazing race - over 1,700 boats take part and it's fantastic to see so many yachts on the water. The weather wasn't as windy as last year but we saw one boat dismasted and some other yachts and a high speed ferry (!) aground! Apparently it took two hours to get the ferry off the sand! Our start was at 08.50 and we crossed the finish line at about 21.10 so it was a very long day but well worth it and we had lots to eat to keep us going on the way round. We had to have a bit of champagne to celebrate at the end!
