Recently this blog has more resembled “Miri’s Pottery Prattle” than “Nick and Miri’s PR Prattle” and for that I’m afraid you must blame the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
For the last 2 weeks I’ve been ‘busy’ lounging on the sofa watching hours upon hours of fantastic tennis, thus letting Miri monopolize blog proceedings! 
Alas, it all ended today (with Roger Federer winning a record breaking 15th slam in an epic 16-14 fifth set win over Andy Roddick) and so I am back in the blogosphere, although I’ve nothing of substance to report (see above re. extended period of sofa dwelling).
I will leave you with a picture of Maria Sharapova. She didn’t do anything of note in this year’s championships, but hey, I don’t need a reason to post a picture of the lovely Maria!

Glad to see you’ve brought some quality back to the blog Mr Hardy. Mind you tennis for 2 whole weeks is bloody dull. Mind you you’ll be amazed. laughing a lot, to hear I am running and coaching a tennis club for the Year 5 and 6 kids for 3 hrs a week. Yes I know nothing about the game but then again i’ve seen you play. Come back football my feet are killing me.

Hello mate. I’m glad someone enjoyed my post. No chance of a British wimbledon champ in the next 20 years if you’re doing the coaching!
Do you even own a tennis racquet? I’m sure there are lots of good guides for beginners coaching on the interweb.
