A little bet!

Sophie and I had a lot to do this morning, and we needed to go to Tesco to buy ingredients for a Key Lime pie. I had also told my Mum I would pop in and get a list of things she needed as well. We called in first, and I explained that we had to be quick today as we had so much to do. She wasn't very pleased we weren't taking her, but their anniversary is next Wednesday, and I'll make it special for them then.

We sped over to Tesco, bought everything we needed and dashed back to the care home to drop it off. It was then back home to make the pie and the pasta salad, so we were kept busy! It was definitely a combined effort!

At 1pm, we enjoyed a glass of Champagne and Sophie told us about her dream to buy a property in France at the end of next year. I felt excited at the prospect of her having a house to rent out, but one we could also stay in as well. 

The Men's final was taking place at the later time of 4pm today, probably due to the heat, so we ate our lunch of cold meats and salad at 3pm, and we were all ready to settle down and watch when the match started. Keith had suggested having a little bet on the outcome, so we noted down our predictions. Keith said he felt Alcaraz would win three sets to one, while Sophie predicted that Alcaraz would take the first and second sets, with Sinner winning the next three. At the same time, I agreed that Alcaraz would win the first, but said Sinner would win overall.

Our predictions!

I hadn't been looking forward to the match, but listening to Sinner on Friday, I warmed to him, and both Sophie and I wanted him to win. As predicted, Alcaraz took the first, but Sinner played fabulously and won the next three! Sophie was right about the third set, and I was correct about the fourth, but I won overall! Woohoo! Free drinks for me!

The rest of the evening was spent relaxing, and Keith watched the Lionesses' football match, which they won. What a day for sport!
