CPR & First Aid
On Saturday I ticked another box of things I always wanted to do. We attended an Adult and Child CPR and First Aid course held by the Red Cross and an absorbing 7 hours it was, helped significantly by an excellent tutor. Next Saturday morning we complete the certification.
Saturday night we had dinner with some friends whilst watching the fireworks from Coral Beach and listening to the American's whoop. The 5-minute show hardly competed with some of these displays stateside but the thought was there and July 4th is meaningfully more important in Bermuda than St George's Day.
Yesterday I was glued to Wimbledon, I couldn't see a winner at one point during the 5th set but was chuffed it was Federer, the bloke is amazing but I did feel for Roddick, one of the nicer guys in sport, who sat devasted afterwards. He too would have been a worthy champion and my support now turns to him for the US Open.
After the match finished we collected our stuff and headed out to play tennis, it reminded me of being a kid and rushing up the park after the FA Cup final for a kickaround. ¶ 08:31
