there goes another year...
I'm sorry I haven't been posting during AO! I didn't have much internet access during that week plus the heat/rain meant that I only went for about 4 days (??), or even less. The photo count is much lower than last year (less than 400? not all of them good, so I'll probably upload a lot less), I have a grand total of one photo with a tennis player (the annual JC tradition lol) and about 4 autographs? [same JC reason, Mario, Novak & Jarkko - only because Jarkko had an autograph session @ AO.....]

Not sure what happened there, but as Emily's mum described it - we're like "veterans" at AO now lol. Less crazed (?), where is that enthusiasm? I know I'm less tolerant to that heat!

I have a lot of offline stuff to take care of at the moment (eg. laundry eeek) but I'll try to type up some sort of report (or a massive summary because everything is all scrambled in my head) plus photos will be uploaded s-l-o-w-l-y. Here's 3 of PimPim.....

Was wondering what was happening. Thought perhaps the bummer of another loss by Juan Carlos had fatigued you to the point you did not. want to report. I had to veiw the match on live scores and when I would he'd be up a break... Geez wish he would developed some of that Gonzalez gumption!! Guess when you've been to the mountain top its hard to press back upwards. Oh well he is a great champion and I'm hoping this year he will win a title.. thanks for continuing your reporting I do enjoy your "rambelings" half a world away!! Hop

Hi Hop! thanks for the message... oh yeah THAT match of Juan Carlos'. A bit of a disaster, even though I actually...er.... left towards the end because I couldn't bear it anymore :(

I'm starting to upload photos though, not many.. but they're there!

i can't agree more! for me the novelty had definitely worn out, and things were starting to bother me more, like you said, the heat, and the constant thirst, and getting burnt! ohh and you know about the rest, like those stupid security guards...

i'm also approaching players and people a lot less. i really can't be bothered now. the only real interactive thing i still did was taking photos... if i get tired of that too then there's nothing left to do at a tournament, just sitting there and munching food, i guess.

i am whining a bit too much, of course. maybe next year i'll go to brissy for a change of scene ;)
