Wimbledon 2013.

[magimedi]

I am so excited!

DH takes over all catering for this fortnight (he does it at other times too) so I can plump my cushions, grab the handchange & get watching.

I'd like to be saying who I was putting my money on to win - but I really can't decide between Rafa, Federer Djokovitch & Murray.

I'd just say that it will be one of them and, sadly, I'd put Andy in last place.

Two weeks of tennis coming up!!

Bring it on. (pimms) &

Go Laura! Nerves are getting to her, not surprisingly.

Laura is just overdoing it a bit now

she needs to un-tense a bit

< listen to me >

we're all arm-chair experts

c'mon Laura !

ok- deep breath now Laura.

< hides behind sofa >

Yes!

whoop!

wow, that was great !

I feel a bit tearful

Thankfully, only you are here DMM

Yeah

ah

Fantastic performance by Laura. I don't know who looked more shocked her or her opponent.

Yep yes leaking-what's that all about?

shitting hell, I must be due on or summat

aww, she is so sweet

Go Laura!

Strangely tearful here too

I think Virgina may have been a little tearful too. What a great player Laura is growing into.

Bless her!

No silly, complicated dresses either

Just a good ole fashioned collared tshirt like the blokes wear, a flippy skirt, a proper bra and undercrackers

fabulous

yes, Serena, I am talking to you

Bloody hell there are two women on television,both well over 50, talking to each other about another woman (and not pertaining to a man). It's like all my feminist Christmases came at once.

Indeed

Absolutely no references to a man. Sublime.

Chub- right up until they mentioned Miles MaClagan

Funny to hear then talking about 'youngsters' at 19/20/21 - not so long ago that would have been practically retirement age for the women. It's a much healthier situation now- they are much stronger, and mentally able to deal with the fame when they are older than at 15.

ooh- Ferrer!!

Vamos!
