It's never a nice thing when all there is to talk about is the weather; today it rained so hard that the rest of my family came back from Scotland early. I worked, then I did some more Japanese; I learnt some great phrases, so I took a picture.

I nearly shot myself when I found out that the database had lost over a day's work when trying to synchronise with the main offices. Anyway, I've started again; it's really quite irritating though. For fear of sounding smug, I must say that it'll take more than a dodgy database to finish me off!

Otherwise, there was no rain at Wimbledon today; there is no interest anymore either. The nation is gripping itself to see what will happen at Silverstone this weekend for the British Grand Prix. The qualifying starts tomorrow, can Hamilton do it again? It'd be great if he could finish on the podium at home, who knows, he might even win!
