anonymoose_au10:54pm: Yes indeed, tonight Li'l Lleyton retired after losing his second round match to Spaniard David Ferrer in straight sets. Sniff, farewell Li'l Lleyton it was a great 20 years! I'll miss you! Especially since the current crop of Aussie men just aren't up to muster, and a lot of them are just plain bad sports. :OP
Although! There was an Aussie I'd never heard of playing today too, John Millman and he won his match and is through to the third round! I've never heard of him, but apparently he's been on the circuit for ten years, just goes to show how much I know. :OP But it was funny because his opponent was wearing green and gold, which are Australia's colours! Or South Africa's, but this guy was neither, he was from the Netherlands. Confusing. Anyway, it looks like he might end up playing an Aussie next round, Bernard Tomic, who has quite the reputation of being an ass. Either way good luck to him!
In other news, I finally cleaned the flat today! I got the kick in the rear I needed in the form of a text message from my landlady who said there was someone coming today to measure the place for cladding, now I'm pretty sure cladding is exclusively for the outside of the building, but the landlady said to make sure the place is clean, so that's what I did! It wouldn't pass Mum's standards, but I'd give it a 5 on my Sims scale. The only problem is the our paper recycling bin has disappeared, the wheels had fallen off so I guess the council took it away because it was damaged. Do'h.
Also of interest, I set up the overlocker today and I even managed to thread it, there's a nice instructive panel on the inside of the case. However, most unfortunately one of the two needles keeps falling out, damn. I put it back in once, but it just fell out again. Man, I need the manual, but it's missing...and the only ones I can find online you need to pay for.
And I see it's past eleven, so I better head off now, zzzzs are needed, I'm trying to get back to 8 hours a night.
I'm taping Li'l Lleyton's final press conference - although I missed the first part of it - I'll have to watch that tomorrow though and I did my Russian all ready, yay.
So now I say goodnight!
