Tennis and More Tennis

The Australian Open is well under way. Free to Air TV is showing games from centre court while Pay-TV is showing 2 matches from the outside 'Show" courts.

This is all a bit too much to keep up with for us lounge lizards who watch our TV sets.

Fortunately the Picture In Picture facility on our TV enables us to watch two matches at the one time .

Tennis starts late morning and finishes well into the evening! There is hardly enough time to get on the internet!

We have been getting quotes to have insulation put in the ceiling and hopefully it will be installed next week.

Temps here remain in the high 20's while in Melbourne it hit over 39 degrees yesterday with a minimum of 29 overnight. We are having a cooler than average summer while Melbourne is just so much hotter than usual.

Dear Les and Trish
David tried to send you a comment this morning but had some problems getting it to go thru. We had a great day at the tennis and enjoyed all the matches we saw. were glad when they closed the roof as it got real hot for the girls playing. It got to over 40 yesterday and of course there were blackouts that we knew nothing about till we got to the train station and found there were no trains.Chaos everywhere But we eventually got home a couple of
hours later. Thanks for the tickets
we had a great time love Carol and David

Absolute chaos with the blackouts I can tell you. It was really distressing that I had to leave work early!!
Must admit the drive home with no traffic lights a bit much.
Cooled off in a non-blackout pub on Acland St until that caved in after 2 pots! Oh well, tis a hard life!
