Murray Mania

Stayed up and watched Murray's incredible semi-final against Nadal finish last night. I can't believe he actually beat him, much less made it to a Grand Slam final against Roger Federer. It's going to be a late night tonight! Tuesday will have to be a slooooow day...

In other tennis news, I have to finish my Hogarth singles semi-final tomorrow afternoon. I was 6-3, 3-2 up when we had to stop because of bad light. So I only need three more games to get into the final. Sounds easy when you say it like that :). Alice and I are still waiting to see who our opponents will be in the Hartswood doubles final, as the other semi has not yet been played. And it looks like we're going to play our Hogarth semi-final only a couple of days before the final... feeling reasonably confident about that one though.

Met up with our wedding photographers yesterday so that they could see the church and the reception venue. All seems good, and they even took a few photos of us for good measure. We'll see how they turn out. As long as there are a few nice ones of both of us (at the same time) on the day, I'll be happy. Other nice photos will be an added bonus. People keep asking how wedding plans are going. Maybe I'm missing something but there doesn't seem to be THAT much to do. We're doing some wine tasting at 5pm tomorrow for the reception... can't imagine that being too much of a hardship! Church, reception and photographers all booked. Gig in the evening all booked (although remaining secret until definite confirmation). I have a frock and various other accoutrements. Need to make some invitations in October I guess and send them out, but other than that, what else is there?!! Ok there are a few things, but it definitely seems manageable, and I don't think I've had any Bridezilla moments (well ok, maybe one, when I saw a cushion and said 'ooh that's the colour I want my bridesmaids' dresses'... and then wanted to shoot myself in the face). 

Meeting my supervisor on Wednesday so better get on with work today so I actually have something to give her...
