The Aegon Championships and the wrong sun tan

The scene, Barons Court. The stage, Centre Court at Queens Club. The reason, The Aegon Championships final. The competitors, Murray (GBR) vs. Tsonga (FR).

Yesterday we watched both semi finals at Queens Club with many thousands in the stands and many millions on TV. Today we’re really in for a treat as we take in the final at the Barons Court venue, as long as the rain doesn’t threaten to take hold.

I’m on the tube right now, dressed in my tennis bests… the only problem is I forgot sun cream yesterday so look like a raspberry with hair. I only hope the cameras avoid my beacon of a head and focus on some other poor nutjob who’s sure to be in the crowd somewhere.

The really funny thing is that I’ve got more colour in me now than I did when I got back from Portugal! Isn’t the ritual ‘browning of the flesh’ supposed to happen closer to the Med??? I always seem to do things the wrong way around.

Oh well… pass the strawberries please…
