2nd round then. So much for finding form.

The Times has started printing two Su Doku puzzles a day. One easy, one hard. Right! I'm not taking this lying down.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my pagan friends (and anyone else that just thinks it's cool) a happy and peaceful solstice. Interestingly though, the earth is actually nearing its farthest point from the Sun this year. 5th July marks the aphelion. (Note to clueless radio announcers: the solstice is not… Continue reading Summer Solstice

Henman pulls it out in a 5-set thriller. First round… the rollercoaster begins, and how! Of course the other brits are dropping like flies. Although Andrew Murray seems to be an up-and-comer. Once upon a time, we thought that about Elena Baltacha, too. Also, Justine is out 🙁

Saw Batman Begins on Sunday at the local cinema. For free! My brother-in-law got a cineme gift card from his workplace – worth $100 – but they don't have any cinemas of the right chain near them. So they sent it to us 🙂 Just in time for the Summer blockbusters. Batman Begins was really… Continue reading Roundup

I prefer my household appliances to be… Continue reading at the risk of sounding (and feeling) old…

…that one can sit down on the couch watching mindless entertaining TV (Beauty and the Geek) while laughing at the poor quality of the Daily Mirror Cryptic Crossword with a friend. I mention this just because this LJ has been a bit quiet of late, and where it hasn't been quiet it's been about some… Continue reading The great thing about the web is…

Out in straight sets to Johansson? Well, you still have a week to find your form. When you're on form, you can beat anyone on grass. Ganbare! The draw is revealed on the 19th.

Last night Mrs. Elbeno and I saw Glen Phillips and Jill Sobule at Largo. Funnily enough, Largo is almost directly opposite Bang. It was a good evening. The food was passable (although that was not penne) and the atmosphere was intimate. I would have preferred a little more light to eat by; as it was… Continue reading Glen Phillips @ Largo
