I have decided to after a long and rather unpleasant discussion with my doctor not to participate in the Wimbledon tournament this year. I may have been too greedy ambitious though recovery is progressing at a steady pace.

It is a good time to catch up on the work and classes I have missed, plus I am looking forward to seeing how my first attempt at brewing beer myself has turned out. It should be done just in time to toast to the first round.

Sanada: I’m not sure if this is what you were looking for but my mother mentioned that a former colleague of my father’s has mentioned he is looking to retire to the countryside and thus intending to rent his place in Tokyo. It should be big and old fashioned enough for you.

Korea was quite an experience but I feel rested enough for France. It will be interesting to play on clay and not on the hard surface more commonly found here.

Dear journal readers,

as it has been pointed out to me my last entry lacked certain parts to enhance its appeal.

Since it might be of interest to some I decided to share some of the pictures taken during my stay in Europe.


This picture was taken close to the hometown of Boris Becker, one of the most renowned german tennis players.

As for my book date - I hope this hat fulfills your requirements.
