Wimbledon

Wimbledon day three. A quiet day at home. We measured up our small sitting room and worked out how to plot the dimensions on graph paper, using one small square to represent 5cm. We also made a list of how we use estimates of short lengths in everyday life. At the hairdressers: "how much shall I take off?"; following instructions: "take a piece of ribbon approximately 10cm long", and so on. A walk round the village with the dog, an attempt at recall training in the park, interspersed with conversation about this year's BB, which I've hardly watched at all, and then back, armed with a large bag of popcorn from the local shop, for another afternoon watching the tennis.
