We are deep into the Wimbledon fortnight. Sometimes, I want to catch up with the score on another match while we have the telly tuned to the match that we most want to watch. That's when the trusty iPad comes in handy.
Tablet fore, tv aft |
I can't really watch both for long, however, and the closer and brighter tablet pulls my eyes, so once I have caught up sufficiently, I turn the tablet off and focus on the tv once again.
You may wonder why I don't just change the tv channel for a minute, and of course, I have done that, but fumbling with the remote and then getting back to where I began can be a rigmarole. I find it easier to reach for the tablet, and I don't lose track of the main game while I catch up on the other game
We’re getting near the end now. Not counting doubles and juniors, which we don’t watch, there are only eight players of the 256 players remaining, four women and four men. The women will play their semi finals later this Thursday morning, and by about noon EDT, only two ladies will remain in the hunt. The men will do likewise tomorrow.
It’s okay because we finished our last bowls of strawberries last night at supper. While there are more strawberries to be had locally, we will await next year’s tournament and crop, knock on wood.
