Hard at work
As customary, the rain keeps interupting the plays in the Wimbledon.
Except Centre Court, the rest of the courts are at the mercy of British weather.
Let's hope the players - including our Andy Murray - won't have to pace up & down too long in the locker rooms.
When I visited SW19 on last Saturday, the weather was fair, a bit too breezy for my liking but it stayed dry.
Apart from the players who were whacking balls, the ball boys & girls were also hard at work...
Either they are crouching down or standing dead still...
When their shift is up (every 75 minites they change), they scurry around the edge of the court like a bunch of mice dashing along the Tube wall...
While everyone else was sweating out on turf, we indulged ourselves with trays full of guilty pleasure. Three slices of cake, two sets of scone with cream & jam, two bowls of strawberries & cream and gallons of tea...
Guess who walked past by us while we were enjoying our afternoon tea?
Serena Williams, flanked by two officials! They were quick marching so I didn't have a chance to whip out my iPhone therefore no photo which was a shame. She was not as chunky as I thought. And not as tall as I imagined...
