SHE'S DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I waited, and watched, day by day, as she won, first one match, then the next day, again, and decided I couldn''t bring myself to post about it - as though I would jinx it or something.......

and so......

today......

the winner of today's final in Paris is.........

AMELIE MAURESMO

and what a wonderful sight it was; the whole match was a thriller, three sets of first class tennis...... and she won, and the emotions were flowing(here too) and it was lovely.

thrilling, in every way. I'm so pleased for her.

and......bought some scarlet alpaca(in hopeful anticipation) and will be making slouchy tube socks - comfy for relaxing after a hard match(and quicker and easier from the point of view of no heel: no worries about whether they will fit or not)

bliss.
