When we buy six cartons of milk in M & S, cashier always rings up each one separately, you would think there was something that did the one price times six.....and when I buy the papers in local shop it always comes to £1.40, if I don't have right money she has to ring it up 'so that I know what change to give' - usually from £2.00. I think they are too busy studying citizenship or human relations....

Evonne Goolagong was a joy to watch, and that gorgeous Gabrielle Sabatini! Did you hear John Mac. talking about Michael Jackson, saying that he didn't think MJ was a good role model...he spoke kindly, but very sensibly.

Well done with the gardening, I did a bit of dead-heading.

I don't do heat at all well, today it is hot and humid, with low grey skies, not a bit of sun or breeze. We have electric fans going in both downstairs rooms, a little one in kitchen when I am cooking, and fan will be taken upstairs tonight to where I am sleeping - we are sleeping apart at the moment (or in my case, not sleeping...).

Peter G.: Well done! Looking forward to many more comments.

I always thought the real change with women's tennis came with Chris Evert - a player who, in my opinion, was a totally artificial product. She had no finesse and had to stand on the base line whacking the ball as she had no natural talent (although she did look charming in her frocks!)

Conundrum of the week: how can there be another 'Robin Hood' series when yesterday Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne died, and Maid Marian died earlier. Perhaps they'll bring back Will Scarlet ...

Rob: you sound as though you and Elaine have had a lovely time. Update on Robert (Lachs) - he flew yesterday to Canada for six weeks to attend the 'school' set up by the Panthers coach. When he returns he goes to Manchester to continue his education.

First use of Lactofree (milk and cheese) today – for cauliflower cheese. Good; but a pint’ll last Sandra a month at least!

I’d guess mental arithmetic beyond anyone under 45.
In 70s, any competent barmaid added prices of twelve different drinks’ in her head, no trouble.
But some things’ve improved.

No trouble for Murray. Not quite ‘rope-a-dope’ but nearly.

You’re very welcome to drop in but Dan and Em have threatened to take US out!

Fish is fine but I couldn’t resist meat-&-potato pie.

I think you’re right about women tennis players and that Billy Jean Moffat (1960s) first to play ‘like a man’.
“...aggressive, hard-hitting net-rusher, with excellent speed..."

Apt quote; I picked gooseberries today.

Jill:
Yup: “Orf went the van wiv me old man in it / I follered on wiv me old cock linnet…”
Unlikely to be heard at Glastonbury - something I’ve always wished I’d done, if only for the classlessness, but I’m probably 15 years too old.
Rather retro this year – Neil Young, CS&N, Springsteen, Specials. But there’s Franz Ferdinand and Lily Allen.

Rob:
Can’t quite concur about holidays.
I reckon if 6 (preferably 18) months not possible, a long weekend's enough.
