My favourite time of year

Date: 22 April 2008 21:47:06

The last two weeks before the May Bank Holiday are my favourite time of year. Leaves appear on the trees, it becomes almost warm enough to sit outside and the top players in my favourite spectator sport spend two solid weeks entertaining me. Yes, it is the Snooker World Championships. An added bonus this year is that I have the new armchair to sit in. If you wonder where I have gone over the next fortnight, then you will find me in the living room, sitting in my chair and trying to keep the cats and the knitting apart while cheering for Stephen Hendry. Some say he is boring to watch, but I am nothing if not faithful: I have been a fan of his since I was 9 and used to watch with my Dad on a black and white tv set.
