Wimbledon...
I decided to pop down to Wimbledon yesterday and queue up for some ground pass tickets which allow you to wander the grounds and all the courts except the good ones basically. It took about 3 and a half hours but was well worth it as it's a great place to spend a lazy day.
Here are a few photos from the day:
Look! It's all the officials you see on TV. Just 'chillin'
I was sat on Court 3, looked up to the posh person lunch bit and saw....Sir Cliff! (He's in the red jacket).
I sneaked in to David Garrido's (from Newsbeat) amazing commentary box position. So cool:
Have a look at David's videos from the last two weeks including the infamous "grunt tennis" one!
I then snaked my way down to pretty much courtside, without the security seeing me. It's a beautiful place:

Wimbledon looks like a fun place to spend an afternoon burning, its on my list of places to go one day when I have disposable income.

Anyway, hi! It really is me commenting on my own blog. I don't think that's sad is it? Wanted to for ages but wasn't sure if I was allowed. Let the conversations begin!

Plus, I think that you might be a secret innovator of fashion, the angular head gear you've added to the officials outfits are totally fashion forward...dahhhlinnggg. Xx
