Tennis fever




Here is a little something you may not know about me, I LOVE TENNIS. I love watching and playing this game. 

All you who are not fans I can hear you grumble right now, but I still love you. 

So the Australian open only goes for two weeks and I love that it coincides with our summer break and I can lay around if I like to watch some of the players that I really enjoy and drink tea.

My 12yo son & I are gearing up for tonight's big game! 

I have been busy putting together our schedule for term 1 of our Australian Ambleside online going between AO's website and Jeanne's wonderful Australianised AO curriculum.  

I am half way through Marius in the incredible novel Le Mis and I really didn't like reading so many of my friends status's on facebook about the movie as I am in a remote community where I will not be able to see this in the cinemas, but I am over that fact now and I am just enjoying the novel.

Bye for now lovely folk, I am off to make a cup of English breakfast, grab Les Miserable, sit in this sublime rocking chair...


...and enjoy the tennis. But before I do I have a card game (May I) to finish with my 8yo daughter. 

Anybody else have a love for the game?

  1. I love tennis, but I cannot play it, I only watch it... and even, since I am in the USA without tv, I stopped watching the tournaments.

    We have tennis stars in my birth country, Spain! I have always loved it.

    Le Mis, how people call this now... hey, you do not miss anything, IMO. Just the book and the PLAY, that yes. I loved the production they put in Spain like the French and English one in the nineties.

    1. Yes Silvia, it's a bit lazy really writing 'Le Mis', I am going to fix it now. I can't wait to see the production one day.

  2. Enjoy the wonderful tennis. I have been very busy and too tired for it. Never was much of a player but love to watch it. Planning to see les Miserables on Tues but haven't read or seen it so it is all novel for me.
