That's it really. Got up, did a few bits of cleaning but have now stopped to watch the build up.

At least they're recognisable as shorts. What has Venus got on? Mac and Henman both picked Fed for the title. Place your bets now and review success rates on July 3rd.

I have no idea what Venus was wearing- Tracy Austin (hate her commentary!) trying to be diplomatic and waffling about earrings...

aww- Boris with his gravity defying hair!

(Years ago i used to schedule my holidays so i could watch the tennisBlush - now having a baby is a fab excuse to sit and watch). My older two will be unimpressed after school, however.

(when i was little , it was the only time in the year that my very houseproud mother didn't clean every day. It was bliss!)Grin

GO RAFA!!

mmmmmmm.......

Fuckme did you read my mind? Nevertheless I'm going to put my virtual cash on Murray. Now I feel obliged to torture myself by checking out the odds the bookies are offering. If it turns out I could have retired if I had the courage of my convictions I will be proper cross. Does that mean I really want Murray to lose? Must banish all negativity.

Raahh · 20/06/2011 13:07

exactly! I have not inherited her vacuuming skills!

fuckmepinkandcallmerosie · 20/06/2011 13:08

Snow - many years ago in a galaxy far far away ....

Bloke in my office was going to the bookies to put a bet on Wimbledon - he asked me who I fancied to win that year and I said "Goran" but betting's a mugs game off you do trot.

550-1

Well done little man

snowbiz · 20/06/2011 13:18

Might have to mute Boris. Bring on the Mac

BizzeeBee · 20/06/2011 13:18

DS (4 weeks old) is allowed to continue with his constant feeding feeding / cuddling requirement so I can watch the tennis. I would appreciate it if he would let me go to the toilet and get some lunch though.

I find the green Wimbledon grass court so much easier on the eye than the orange clay French Open courts!

fuckmepinkandcallmerosie · 20/06/2011 13:19

I really wish Rafa would stop hoiking his pants out of his arse. It is not pleasant.

My course finished last week so now I can watch wimbledon in peace without guilt that I should be studying.

Am crap though and don't really understand it Blush

Why not? . . .
some would say "hey get dressed it its nearly half one"

Raahh · 20/06/2011 13:21

snowbiz · 20/06/2011 13:22

He's got to know how ridiculous he looks when he does it. Must be one of his rituals that he daren't stop doing.

fuckmepinkandcallmerosie · 20/06/2011 13:23

Raahh - sadly I am too old for there to be any pants hoiking here - unless it's my MN judgey ones Grin
