Despite the fact that I am useless at tennis, I love Wimbledon. What a first day we were treated to yesterday! I have a tendency to root for the underdog (I’m British, so no chance of rooting for the favourite I guess!) and yesterday was full of near-victories for the underdogs. I enjoyed watching Federer squirm against Falla and I really wanted Olivier Rochus to beat that annoying, chest-beating, i’m-worth-$17 million, Novak Djokovic but he just fell short. Here’s hoping that the bar remains set-high for the tournament.

Only two days to go until the global launch of the iPhone 4 on the 24th. I’m really excited. I’ve decided to go with Vodafone after much deliberation and I have my PAC code at the ready. Most shops are opening at 08:00 on Thursday so I ‘m going to head down to the city centre at around 06:30 to start queuing in the hope that I can pick up a top-of-the-range 32GB one.

I seemed to have “volunteered” to be on-call this evening at work. An extremely unreliable co-worker phoned in sick and poor Oli was tasked with finding an SHO to cover her on-call today. He’s stepped up to do the day but I couldn’t let him miss out on engagement ring shopping this evening could I? I only have to work from 17:00 ’til 21:00 and I will be paid (a pittance) for it but it does screw my day up as I often have a half-day on a Tuesday. Oh well, mustn’t grumble.
