here are some splendid things to get the ball rolling.
in Andy Murray we have a plucky young Brit through to the semi final of Wimbledon, with a great chance of becoming our first finalist (if not winner) since Fred Perry in the 1930's. all he needs to do is defeat that ghastly American chap, Roddick!
the weather is already quite wonderful, the sea is warm, and yet the proper summer months of July and August have only just begun!
quintessential British pop band, Blur, are playing live in Hyde Park tonight and tomorrow!
gosh, aren't things splendid!
