A
Road Less Travelled
'A
French Letter'
4th
of June 2016
After
an overnight shower, the weather has now changed once again, however
this time its for the better. Its still overcast but the chilling
wind from the north has now changed to a gentle warm Sirocco breeze
from the south.
The
French news channels were full of the death of Mohammed Ali. He was
an amazing fighter not only in the ring but for human rights and
against the prejudice over the colour of someone's skin. The
'greatest' was elected by the British public as the sports
personality of the century.
The
lack of moving on from 'Aires' to 'Aires' every few days has given me
chance to watch the coverage of the Isle of Man TT on Channel 4. The
various practice races have been very exciting with higher than usual
speeds being achieved in practice, mainly due to the good weather.
The racing starts on Monday.
Today
was the ladies day of the French open championship at Roland Garros.
It was a very good match. The reigning champion and world number one,
Serena Williams was beaten in straight sets by Garabina Muguruza.
Whilst our own Andy Murray has made his way through for the first
time into the final of the men's French open championship. Its the
men's final tomorrow at Roland Garros. His opponent is the world
number one Novak Djokovic but Andy did win at their last meeting.
