Hot weather is back again in Eastbourne! After a week of more familiar coolness, the last couple of days have been a bit of a scorcher by UK standards.
The proof? Last night it was still warm enough at 7pm to eat an ice cream in the sun on the seafront. I got the ice cream from the parlour opposite Devonshire Park so raved about by Caroline Wozniacki.
At the famous "a star is born" press conference after her breakthrough win against top seed Kuznetsova during Eastbourne 2008, she commented: "There's a great ice-cream place just across the road from here!"
After her run to the title at last year's event, the cafe's been displaying a newspaper cutting, from a national broadsheet by the looks of it, reporting on Wozniacki's love of their Casablanca ice cream, declaring it one of her favourites in the world.
Devonshire Park is now closed to the public as the preparations for a world-class tennis event hit their stride.
Meanwhile, despite scaffolding covering the entrance to the adjacent Congress Theatre, this is no deterrence to all the eager fans entering to see the touring production of The Sound of Music. It stars reality-TV winner Connie Fisher, and former Dynasty star - and Eastbourne college pupil - Michael Praed. The show runs until Eastbourne finals' day. No Sharapova or Kirilenko on the entry list, but there is Martinez Sanchez, so maybe there will be a problem like Maria to solve! Ba-boom!
