Well, sitting here in Arsenal shirt, bandana and wristbands (well, what other way does a gal have to show her support for Rafa Nadal, eh?) awaiting the tennis. Apparently it's not on the radio, although I can probably live without our always very biased commentators fawning over Andy Murray as if he's the best tennis player since sliced bread.

Oh, thanks, have missed you too! I will try and blog more in 2009, my '08 showing was pretty dismal.

Well, looks like I did curse it. I just had to watch the score on the tournament website. And to my delight, at one point the score showed as 5-3 to Rafa in the final set. Alas, it was wrong. :( But it was a close match. I'm not a fan of Murray at all, but he is a good hard-court player and he's in form. I just hate the press here and their overblown reaction to it all. - for me he can only be called a real success when he wins a Slam. Anyhow, I should probably change that record...

As for Rafa's outfit. Well, I can't say I prefer it to the sleeveless vests, as he was always like a busy pirate, which I loved. But I must admit on the other hand I have a thing about men's arms poking out of white sleeves, so for now, I'll let him off. Maybe he feels it makes him look more serious I guess? I know he's had some negative comments about the sleeveless shirts in the past. Whatever. He is still Rafa and we still love him.
