Day 7: the Australian Open (surviving the ...) *with Sandy

My suggestion of having a happier Australian Open this year is actually working.  Sandy and I are taking a more 'Open' approach to this 'Australian Open'; we are enjoying the games more and are fighting less.  We are watching the matches in good companionship and have cheered on all the Aussie players. For tonight's match the preparations are going well: 3 bags of pop corn and 24 bottles of beer. Samantha Stosur (AUS) is playing Petra Kvitova (CZE) and after that it is Nadal (SPA) versus Tomic (AUS). We are both supporting Stosur and Tomic although we know that they may all lose.  Gonçalo and Freddy G. may be joining us later for a drink although neither seems to like tennis much.  I can hear Gonçalo singing his fados, (oh God, this man, when he is not singing fados he is eating sardines).  Anyway, here's Sandy with some photos of the first seven days of the 2011 Australian Open and some different ways of saying "this is mine" her favourite statement in Spanish.  Bye for now, enjoy the games if you're watching them,   Matilda
