I love this time of year! Bloody tennis everywhere. Federer, Nadal – I love them all. When I was a kid I used to pick up my racquet which I’d made from a crutch and an old shoe and go down to the Rhyl wasteland with Grandma Clywd and she’d pretend to throw balls towards me, and I’d pretend to hit them. Amazing, and I always won!
Now it’s Wimbledon once again and I’ve been listening to it on the radio like a trooper. Well, I’m not actually allowed a radio in my room and with good reason (fire) but I can basically stream it through my computer when I’m having a game of bingo or something. Not bad, eh?
Who are my tips for tennis glory this year? Well, I don’t think you can go far wrong with Roger Federer can you? Or, as I call him, The Swiss Cat! Also up there as you’d expect is Rafael Nadal – The Spanish Cat – who’s always ready to pounce with his baseline game. As for Andy Murray – I don’t know!
I don’t really like watching women’s tennis.
So school is wrapping up now, and all the kids are obviously very excited about their summer holidays. Still, I don’t think any of them are spending their holidays travelling around Wales and seeing the best she has to offer ;)
I’ve been invigilating some exams as well. It’s great, extra money and all! Also, I believe that teachers should always help pupils when they need it, if you know what I mean! Then again, French was never my strong point so who knows? Nein!
Time to go now – have a Geography exam to look after. If there are any questions about Wales the kids need help with, I’d be happy to answer them after my trip!
