This week's Friday Five (on Friday!)

1. How are you planning to spend the summer?
Working. I don't get enough days off not to.

3. If you could go anywhere this summer, where would you go?
Wimbledon

4. What was your worst holiday ever?
There isn't one. But then I haven't been on holiday much

5. What was your best holiday ever?
Eastern Europe

Went to Wimbledon yesterday. Sat on Henman Hill for a bit, watching Henman. Endured the heat and John McEnroe commentating until the silly women in front of us decided to smoke. Which considering the number of people squeezed onto the hill was completely selfish. So we went to try out our speed of serves - I managed a fairly respectable 46mph.

Saw a set of Agassi's which was boring. Watched a set of doubles - Bjorkman and Woodbridge were unsurprisingly winning. Watched Serena Williams' match, which had its moments. Spent time looking at her father through the binoculars and trying to work out if Venus was there.

Saw more doubles, one of whom was Lee Childs. Our blokes lost. Thought about joining the re-sale queue for the centre court battle with Roger Federer and found out Venus and Serena were playing doubles on Court 1. Threw people out of our seats and it turned out to be the most interesting match of the day! It was cold, and getting dark by the time they left and 1 set all and 3-3 in the third. The tube was boiling, and busy and we missed our train. Want to do it all again next year.

Five Live just did a Big Brother style round-up of the week at Wimbledon which was quite funny. Sadly though, their coverage finishes at 7pm so when they come back on court (which given it hasn't rained here for a bit will be soon) I might have to mute McEnroe.

It was depressing going back to work after going to Wimbledon, but HASA erupted with funny (and dirty) limericks, so that cheered me up. All the challenges are up for the drabbles, so might do those this weekend.
