Oh, I see. I hope he won't play challengers with my boy when the summer comes.

So happy for Richard! Take that you Davytards! No really, Davy had been amazing this week, back to his old self, I love such crisp & fast Davy, amazing, but what a fighter this Richard!

Have you seen this Rogelia hair? And he used to have such a gorgeous hair. At least now I feel I'm not the only one losing my gorgeous hair with age.

He beat Davy in the Doha final. Was a good final, I'm back to watching tennis now. AO can come. Hope everything will be OK with my work too.

Edit: Doesn't it look cool?

I like the trophy more than the guy

And me.

I quoted other things too. They are not here. Oh, well, at least Metis will be glad since it means another post.

You are not trying at all!

No need to explain Hilde. I wasn't being serious.

If that makes sense.

Comparing gifts, you tend to get the short end of the stick.

Happens almost each year.

What did your mother get from you for Christmas?

PS: I got two stirring spoons for my birthday from sister n°1.
We might as well cancel exchanging gifts if it's that much of a bother.

--> I'm glad I'm not the only one sulking over it.

From the article:

Exactly. Hmmmpff

So much whining about not getting separate gifts for birthday and Christmas.


My birthday is near mid August. That's when everyone is away on vacation. Never really got to celebrate it properly as a kid. Can't remember that ever bothering me.
