Aaaaaarrgh!

I know that there are a lot of people like me who have had enough! It isn't finished yet either because there are still a good few weeks to go.
Balls! I've had enough of them, footballs, golf balls and next week it will be tennis balls! Will someone explain to me why all the sport has to be condensed into four weeks and what's the attraction of it anyway?
I used to love sport, as a participant and I cannot for the life of me understand people who want to sit for hour after hour watching it on television, especially in the summer when the weather is fine and sunny. Not only is it the football World Cup, but we've just had Ascot (yeah, yeah! I know that's horse racing and I don't follow that either) then there's some golfing tournament (yawn, yawn, boring!) to be followed next week by two weeks of Wimbledon. I can't stand the grunting, we never used to do that, and it's always the same people every year.
I'm really glad the weather has been good because the darned sport takes over the television channels (at least Gardener's World is on tonight) so I have spent quite a bit of time watching the birds and pottering in the garden. If it turns wet, I might even dabble in the kitchen but I usually end up baking a cake which I shouldn't really eat! Oh heck! It's just started to rain too!
Funnily enough, it's usually men who spend their time glued to the box watching most of the sport. The only thing I don't mind is watching a little of the Olympic Games because they only come round every four years and yes, I know the World Cup football does too but we have it from August to May along with the rugby (with the funny shaped ball).
Oh! I forgot to mention the cricket!
Now I'm off to the kitchen.
