It’s been all about sport these last few weeks, and I have to admit I got caught up in it myself! Belgium sadly didn’t make it to the world cup (aww) so I decided to root for the underdog, New Zealand. They were least likely to win and hadn’t been to a world cup in well over 20 years, scoring no points back then. They are out, (as most of you probably know) and I’m a bit disappointed they didn’t attack more during their game against Paraguay. Still, they didn’t lose a match and came out on top of Italy. Go NZ! Did you know the country only has one professional team?
Harder to find on the telly these days is Wimbledon. I don’t have digital tv and it has been buried behind layers of footie. I love watching tennis, and I want to go and watch at Wimbledon more than anything, too bad getting tickets is so hard, but I’ll definitely subscribe to the ballot again this year. Except for the longest match ever, which has been covered to death, there haven’t been any surprises. The last Belgian man lost yesterday, otherwise he would face Murray, and our Belgian dream team (Henin & Clijsters) has to face each other on Monday. I don’t want to see either go this early.
Getting ready for the GP this afternoon, Red Bull has been doing so well, I wish they’d get along. Usually I support Button, but it will be a tall order today, as he’s way down on the starting grid. But we’ll see, who knows, right?
As for myself and sport, I’ve taken jogging up (again), I’m not really the active sort, but I do like to keep fit. If the weather stays like this I’ll have to switch to swimming though, which is as enjoyable but a lot more hassle. (my hair and chlorine don’t seem to agree)
I’ve been planning a tour of Ireland, and might add a tour of the UK at the end of it. I’m really excited, it is shaping up very nicely. Lovely people have been helping me with finding great places to stay, it almost feels like I’m going on a holiday. Speaking of holidays, I’m visiting London with my sister in August, if anybody has recommendations/suggestions what touristy things to do, they are most welcome!
