A really hot day today - at 25.7 degrees C it was the hottest day in Wiltshire this year so far and we are expecting a really hot weekend ahead of us for the Wimbledon Finals. I was up early this morning to attend the Ambassadors' Breakfast Club at Grasmere House Hotel and then went on to Sarum College to finalise yesterday's assignment and to start writing my sermon for Sunday. I stayed in the Sarum College library until 1.30 p.m. calling in at Mary's school on the way home to sign a consent form for her to visit the Intech. Science Centre near Winchester - a place I would love to visit and keep forgetting to organise a trip. Both children have been and say it is really good. There is a planetarium there too. After a lunch of roast chicken and chips I have to confess that I spent the rest of the day (it was too hot to do anything else) watching tennis - the two semi-finals the first of which broke all Wimbledon records for the length it took to complete - four hours and fifty-five minutes with a win for Serbian Djokovic over Argentinian Del Potro. This was followed very late by the second semi between Poland's Janowicz and Britain's Murray which Murray won after going down in the first set. so Sunday is going to be another day of watching TV in the afternoon - a great final between the world's No. 1 and No. 2. I am taking a service at Pitton in the morning and then had planned to go out somewhere in the afternoon. My afternoon is now sorted for me - TV and a glass or two of beer I think. Later in the evening I watched an extraordinary match in the T20 Cricket competition - Yorkshire v. Lancashire at Headingley. This game resulted in a tie at 152 runs each and so they share the points. I am really looking forward to seeing T209 Cricket live next week at the Ageas Bowl.
