Making the most of our location, Sarah and I decided a day out at Wimbledon would be a fantastic reason to take a day off work. The weather this week has been horrendous to say the least for Wimbledon. Luckily however we managed to select a day that was warm and sunny, and spent all day friday at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. After gaining entry to the ground and relieving ourselves after a long 4 hour queue to get in, we bought a program, got some refreshments and headed straight to court 13, the location for the upcoming Mark Philippoussis game. We sat through a womens singles game (England vs. Spain) in the lead up to the match we wanted to see, and it was worth it. We had seats 3 rows from the front, no more than 5 meters from the court.
After this we walked around the club grounds for a while, peeking in on different matches and finally found ourselves on Henman hill, watching Greg Rusedski play on the big screen. (The match was being played on Show Court 1, we didnt have tickets for that court). The rest of the day was spent watching some doubles matches, before we finally decided we were burnt and tired enough to go home, at about 7pm.
For a pictoral view of the day visit the photo gallery.
I have installed and configured some new software for displaying photo galleries on the web that makes it so much easier to put up photo's that both Sarah and I should have more patience to upload photos from now on.
So, you can now visit the new and improved photo gallery. I still have not migrated over all the old photo galleries, and have not yet migrated over any of the photo descriptions or commentary, but I will get them done soon. Also note that I have published the photo's from our New York City visit. Note that you can also comment on the photo's so if you have something to say about a particular photo please punch it in.
