We have a kayak on our dam and I often look at it and wonder if perhaps, just perhaps I could manage to get into it. I did so love kayaking back in the day. But I've promised my children I won't go swimming my myself and wouldn't risk looking so undignified in front of an audience. I wonder if I could bribe a grandchild to help me when no-one else is around? Food for thought.

As for hand...Obviously my hopes are on Andy Murray. As for hands I have tiny hands (with long fingers) and feet for my height. In theory this, everyone tells me, should have made me an excellent pianist. Unfortunately no one had mentioned that to the bits that connected my brain to my fingers. The pictures were, as always, fascinating although when I came to Morse and a (very young) Lewis I did wonder what on earth they were doing there.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-75695006847953846092016-01-18T21:39:32.683-08:002016-01-18T21:39:32.683-08:00You are already aware, I am certain, Colin, that I...You are already aware, I am certain, Colin, that I am a massive Rafa fan...always have been and always will be...ever since I first saw him play many years ago when he was still a teenager. I've mentioned this to you before. Nothing anyone will say will change my mind re Nadal. I think Nadal is a wonderful young man...many others could take a few leaves from his book.<br /><br />I wish the match tonight wasn't between Hewitt and Duckworth. I like that young Duckworth...what a bloody draw. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.<br /><br />Oh...and again, I'd choose to watch Rafa over anyone else....I think that about clears up any doubts about what I think of Nadal. :)<br /><br />And further more, Nadal has never during his tennis career behaved like a pretentious, mug lair; neither has Federer; not like some of the current younger players of today. At the risk of repeating myself again...I shan't mention their names again.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-54856370332348120302016-01-18T15:56:19.915-08:002016-01-18T15:56:19.915-08:00Hey there, Yorkie.

Bloody ridiculous - probably<br />a nervous twitch???<br />What with him eating his shirts and Rafa playing with his bum - makes for intriguing tennis, eh?<br />Who would you watch if they were to meet in the final - the shirt eater or the bum scratcher - ha ha!<br />As for "S.W.S.N.B.N" - I wish that from now on she is struck down with some virus in January to save we, Aussies, the agony of watching her and then listening to her bloody excuses.<br />At least today one Aussie will advance - I suspect good ole Lleyton, but note who probably will be waiting?? (David Ferrer).<br />Our men - Thompson, Ebden, Tomic, Millman and Groth have all winnable matches, and in the ladies - only Jarmila Wolfe is a good possibility to progress.<br />The others are all "lucky recipient juniors and so-called comeback ones", courtesy of the wildcards, and only a miracle from "on high" will get them into Round 2.<br />Yesterday - 5 Aussies played - 3 won and 2 lost.<br />One shouldn't have played due to that bloody arm problem and I hope she takes notice of her medical advisors, otherwise she'll have her career cut short - viz: Alja Tomlajanovic.<br />Cheers<br />ColinHuggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-61645779887384280452016-01-18T12:59:45.970-08:002016-01-18T12:59:45.970-08:00Yep...and he seems like a nice young fellow, too.....Yep...and he seems like a nice young fellow, too...I hope he remains so!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-87633512665231413482016-01-18T12:58:42.833-08:002016-01-18T12:58:42.833-08:00Hey there, River.
