Jul. 14th, 2024 08:10 pmIt was certainly quite the Wimbledon to watch. From Andy Murray's farewell to the event, to the middle weekend upsets in the ladies, to Alcaraz further establishing a new potential dominance on the scene to Taylor Townsend coming back to win herself a doubles title, and after a bigger surprise in the men's doubles. I was also very happy to see Alfie Hewitt win his Wimbledon this morning. It feels kind of unreal to think the Olympics are only two weeks away!
Have now gotten through a selection of Veronica Franco's letters. They got to be repetitive after a while, especially as one became all too aware of how she probably felt the need to flatter all these rich and powerful men, upon whom her livelihood depended. I've also read the first of her capitola poems, which was a bit better.
We actually had work done on our air conditioning the last couple of weeks, and also directions for other things to make it work better, like getting all the grates unblocked. Much of this week, we didn't get the house that cool, but these past couple of days it's been outright cold at points! It's probably way better for our health that way. There are have been points where the air outside has been making my poor mother feel ill.
Panel schedule is out for Comic Con, and my sister has linked me to a spreadsheet to start putting my schedule on, though I've only settled on a few things so far, because there are too many choices. I'm hoping to see the inside of Hall H for the first time for the Rings of Power panel, though even if I do, I'll probably then ditch the Doctor Who panel to got to the Amazon animation one. I also want to do some gaming at some point this year.
