It has now become a routine, walking in past the statue of Fred Perry and climbing the stairs to write my greeting to put out ten minutes before play begins each morning.
But there have been changes, though they can hardly be said to be weighty. If you have heard several of the daily greetings you would have to have an appetite for minutiae to have spotted it.
Because of playing Middle Sunday, instead of welcoming everyone to the "eleventh day" it was still Day 10 since that is what it is billed as — even though technically it was the eleventh day we have played. It was also ladies' semi-finals day.
And a day of bridges, as standing on the referees' bridge that leads into our office, we glimpsed the Duchess of Cambridge making her way across the players' bridge opposite to Centre Court, as a cheer rang out from spectators below in St Mary’s Walk.
Thursday was also a milestone day, for the start of the ladies and gentlemen’s wheelchair singles having their first Wimbledon this year.
The good weather meant I was able to abandon the microphone again to watch Britain’s top player and world No.3, Gordon Reid, win on Court 17.
There were some fantastic rallies which saw the Glasgow boy come through 6-3, 6-4 against Nicolas Peifer, who also impressed.
This is the first time I have been able to enjoy watching a wheelchair sport since the halcyon days of the 2012 Paralympics and I have to say it is really good to see the wheelchair singles arriving at SW19.
A great day then, all round.
