I don't know if you can see the Sow Thistle on the balcony. It flew in from somewhere and is doing well among all the bought plants. It has been very hot and humid, though Monday - my trip to the dentist - was cooled by a lovely sea breeze.
Result of trip to Dentist? Over the next couple of months I now face one root canal, one crown, and then of course my first cataract operation. I will be glad when summer is safely over, as I hope it will be.
I am not enjoying the hot and humid weather at all. It may be what has caused all my arthritic joints - including my replacement ones!(?) - to hurt so much. If so, I can hope it will ease off when things get cooler. My back is so bad I can't even stand up straight.
Wimbledon has come and gone, with a Polish lady, Iga Swiatek winning the ladies crown, and a very young Italian guy, Jannik Sinner winning the men's. Both played so well and were so thrilled to get the Championship.
Apart from that I didn't really watch it. Used to love Wimbledon, but it no longer interests me much. Not sure why. Maybe it is because I am older, or maybe it's because tennis has changed so much. I can remember rushing back from school to find my mother watching it intently, and the strawberries and cream already set out for us, and we would all watch it with her. Well, sometimes it was strawberries and milk. You need to cut the strawberries up in the milk and let them sit for a few hours. And its very good.
My favourite players back then were a couple of doubles players from Mexico called Osuna and Palafox. I loved them and used to support them all the way through. The teenage me could never decide which was the best looking - they were both so handsome.
Of course, Captain Butterfly wins the Handsome Contest hands down these days.
We - my sister and I - had a lovely morning with our Bible Student - the lady of the flowers. She seemed very pleased to see us.
