Day 134 - Lady Captain's Day

Ouch...
Definitely Off Games today with my left hand doing its own Michelin Man impression after yesterday's fall.

Have been grateful for all the advice: rest, ice, raise arm, ibuprofen gel, exercise by squeezing tennis ball - and have spent the afternoon watching the tennis doing all of these in the hopes that they will assist a speedy recovery.

Today must be the hottest day of the year: Wimbledon talking of 41degC court-side (that's 106F) and the talk is of even higher temperatures tomorrow.  This meant that my fellow Lady Captain had chosen a scorcher for her Captain's Day: very different from a few weeks ago - see http://burhillcaptain2015.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/day-119-captains-day.html

It was fun to meet Diana and her family, and to see all the hard work she had put in to make the day a success. I thought that the Pimm's was a particularly fine idea - though at my Captain's Day, hot soup would have been the order of the day had we but planned a bit better!

Thence home to watch Andy Murray and his first round match; as ever, it involved a couple of scares, but he came through. Six more rounds to go....

P.S. Hope that you aware that we get an extra second's sleep tonight!
