........... or football, or cycling, or motor racing - the summer weather may not be playing ball but we have certainly been spoilt for choice when it comes to summer sporting events.
I'm not particularly a follower of Wimbledon, nor have I been a fan of Andy Murray, but all that has changed since being on the edge of my seat throughout the men's final yesterday between Andy and Roger Federer.
'Charming, articulate and gracious' - that was how one commentator described Murray at the end of the match. I couldn't agree more. A more mature Andy Murray played a superb game and was a very worthy opponent of the, now, 7 times champion Roger Federer. He may have been beaten but Andy Murray should hold his head high following his performance yesterday. It was magnificent and I, for one, look forward to seeing what he can achieve at next year's event.
Having become a Wimbledon convert I may be one of those people who need to book time off work in order to stay glued to the TV. Alternatively I could ask myself for flexible working arrangements during key matches, or for them to be screened during working hours. I think I'll send myself a memo!
Well done Andy.
