It was 8 am here Eastern Aussie Time this morning, Saturday, when I finally gave up watching the tennis....that was when the Nadal-Djokovic match was brought to a halt because of the 11 pm closure ruling at Wimbledon.<br /><br />I started watching the tennis last night at 11 pm...finished at 8 am!!!<br /><br />So...another late, late night ahead of me is in the cards. And then again on Sunday night! :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-88974023210933036872018-07-13T17:20:37.283-04:002018-07-13T17:20:37.283-04:00Thank you, Mike!

I think he is great. I'm hoping he wins tonight (Aussie time).<br /><br />I'm sitting here presently watching the Isner-Anderson match....waiting for Nadal's match.

I'm thinking Gareth Southgate has made a better job of unifying people than any of the mediocre and/or divisive politicians we have at the moment - so maybe after he's sorted out the World Cup in 2022, he can be Prime Minister.

When I hear the words Three Lions or seem the emblem, I know that means England. Though (I'm sure you know) it really is for the House of Plantagenet. I have a lot of English Scottish and Irish ancestry so it's pretty unlikely for anyone in the 21st century not to be at least descended from at least King John and thus his father King Henry II, the first Plantagenet king.
