Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I wouldn't say the baseball lasted a long time last night, but I had to have breakfast before I went to bed cos I was hungry....

17 innings, New York Mets? Good lord, don't do that again for a long time, eh? You're lucky you won, busters.....

*chugs tea, tries to wake up for the Wimbledon Men's Final* It's hard work being a sports fan, y'know ;)

Went out with the ever lovely thalinoviel last night to see Shrek the Third. It's not a bad movie, but I don't think it reaches anything like the heights of the first two. But there were some good moments which made me gigglefit and it was a perfectly amiable way to pass an hour and a half. Well, in our case it was an hour and fifteen minutes - thalinoviel got lost trying to get to a friend's house and was a smidge late. We had coffee afterwards at Frankie and Benny's and gossiped happily for an hour before wending our way home. We're now plotting an evening for Harry Potter which may involve careful transport arrangements so that we can sample some of Frankie and Benny's delicious looking cocktails *weg*

The Mens Final lived up to all expectations and was a five set thriller lasting nearly 4 hours. And Roger's won it for the fifth straight time, eventually. He's blubbing like a baby. Feel a bit sorry for Rafe though, he threw everything he had at Roger but it just kept coming back. Still, he came closer this year than last year.

Great match! And now we have the Mixed Doubles, where there's Brit interested as Jamie Murray - Andy's younger brother - is in the Final :)

British success at Wimbledon! Jamie Murray and Jelena Jankovic won the mixed doubles in 3 sets!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
