With the exit of all the Romanians in singles and the Doubles Final with Stefi and Briana later in the day we took the free time to Uber to Bran and visit Dracula’s Castle. The drive was pleasant and very scenic, should I return next year as I hope to do I would like to…

The trip is a starting to near an end, the beard is at a point where it is becoming itchy. Whereas the previous mornings I got up early for Oana’s practices with her defeat in singles it was a later start in doubles, I was afforded the luxury of a lie in. Not that the…

Same routine as before early walk into town, picked up some cheese pretzels for breakfast and then onto Starbucks for coffee. Met the Wolf for practice at the club ahead of her second round match which her parents had attended for. Sadly Oana’s match was poor, a couple of missed smashes at the net got…

Today was an earlier start, leaving the Guest House at 7am and walking to town as the sun rose over Brasov, a pleasant stroll with Postivity Penguin through the streets and parks. It was cooler today which was handy as having left my jumper on top of the coffee machine the past couple of days,…

So my sincere apologies in advance for most of today finds me complaining about my eye. Suncream has seeped in on a hot day and it’s very painful. Only at 2250 now is it starting to heal. We again walked to the club this time via Meron for Breakfast where the four cheese sandwiches were…

So comes the final day of Wimbledon qualifying. Slept reasonably well but the body is still very fatigued, truth be told I considered leaving early but I decided to stay the course. I checked out of the hostel as the tight buggers charged me for a locker for my bag and coat. Similar routine to…

Okay so how not to repeat too much of yesterday’s adventures? A lot was similar, I tried to sleep in a bit today but my hostel room mates refused to let me. Because I was up later today all the shower cubicles were all engaged at once, as luck would have it I was able…

‘You have requested breakfast, we have not charged you for it yet. I suggest tomorrow morning you come down and look at it, and then decide if you want it.’ The integrity of the receptionist at my Camden Hostel is very refreshing or perhaps he has had one too many complaints or even it’s his…

‘I think you’ve made your point now. You’ve even gone a bit too far to get your message home. Before it gets too frightening, we aught to call a halt. Could we start again please? Could we start again?’ – Could we start again please from Jesus Christ Superstar – Andrew Lloyd Webber – 1973…
