Well Done Stosur!


It was great to watch Samantha Stosur emphatically defeat Serena Willams this morning, to win the 2011 US Open. I’m sure Serena Williams would have wanted what would have been an emotional victory, with the 10th Anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. As is often the case however, little Australia peeks up and stakes its place in the world, punching way above its weight.

Well done, Stosur – what a great champion you are!

A Quiet Winter Weekend


It’s the first weekend of winter. I havent attended to our garden for weeks now. Tress is outside weeding, and I could see this morning, leaves on both the front and back lawns, as well as the side garden. The garden needs some heavy-duty tidying up.

My mind however, is on this essay I need to finish (3/4 through now) by this weekend, so that I may start work for the exam in 2 weeks’ time. Why did I think doing 2 subjects is possible… hats off to anyone out there who do more than 2 subjects while working full-time and busying yourself with the usual activities…

It looks gorgeous outside – sunny and not cold at all. It is certainly balmy in comparison to the last few weeks. It has been a strange autumn/winter period. Maybe it is the La Nina.

Hopefully le Li Na goes one better tonight and win at the French Open. What a great boost to Chinese tennis that would be.

Anyway, back to me essay now…
