Well, hopefully, the Hudl will be ok now ? Is yours functioning all right after the update?
Mirrors to watch the tennis seems a trifle excessive?!

Because Hudl was meant to be the solution to this - so that I could do two things at once? Read my book/ watch tennis, athletics etc., and keep an eye on the forum if I want to do crosswords or chat! all whilst sitting in comfort on the sofa!
Hudl's been ok until today- maybe this hiccough was something to do with the heat?
It seems ok now anyway.
Apparently the temperature at Wimbledon hit 41.5C this afternoon!

Wawrinka's two sets up... Serena Willimans match just starting.

Yes, Hudl seems to be behaving itself now!

What a great match between Venus Williams and Putintseva! Did you watch it?
Although Venus won in two straight sets, the other player played brilliantly, too.

I have to admit to not noticing / thinking about any spare seats, but now that you have drawn my attention to it, yes I think you could well be right.... corporate bookings would make sense if any seats are left vacant.
I cannot see private individuals not occupying their seats - the cost is so great and the demand so fierce.

People are queuing outside Wimbledon all night for entry for the next day's play. There has been a public announcement made today that no one else should come to camp outside the premises, because there are already too many there to be admitted tomorrow without having pre-booked.
What demand!

Have you ever had the opportunity to go there and see the tennis live? It's a wonderful atmosphere!

I have seen no more tennis since Heather left.
My WhatsApp is getting severe treatment this evening.
My granddaughter graduated from Glasgow Uni today and there have been many photos!
Have you been at Wimbledon?
I don't have patience to go to things like that, Elle.
And it is many miles away!
My task tomorrow is to find some way of watching the 5.55 at Newbury. Not on C4.
Victoria Pendleton makes her horseracing debut there.
I like Victoria. I remember her Dad, Max, racing too, when she was a toddler. He was good!
Is there goldie oldies tennis at Wimbledon?
I'd like to see Yannick Noah.
