WIMBLEDON - 2013- Second Set!

[Raahh]

Thought we'd have a new thread for today.

It is raining cats and dogs (technical term) here in theNorth West- I am not very hopeful of a full days play at Wimbledon. but fingers crossed. The weather bloke last night today would be 'Frustrating Friday'in terms of play. Fond of alliteration, those Wimbledon types.

FRIDAY ORDER OF PLAY

As I thought,Robson has had an up-grade from court 2 to centre, which should give her a boost.

Looking forward to see if Dimitrov pulls through- and
VAMOS FERRER!!
first upon number 1 court.

Try the BBC sport app Farley. I think there are more courts shown on there than on the red button

Oh here I am, sitting and minding my own business in the sitting room, when I glance out of the window to see a cloud of white powder cascading down. Shout out to ds and his friend to ask what they're doing, and get the cover-all answer of "messing around". Better go and investigate ...

Thanks Chub.

At least they're honest about it.

chub You are a machine! Good God, what a lot of stuff you have done this morning.

Watched the ceremony thing, got quite choked up. Poor Andy though, such a weight of expectation on his shoulders...

I have no idea what time Robson is on, anybody know?

Farley Its the baby powder, they have tipped it all out the bathroom window!

Seize, she's the second game on court 2. The first one is men's singles do could be long.

I'll be rooting for Laura today!!

I can't find court two on red button? Do you think regular Tv will switch from current court to Laura when she comes on?

Tbh it's felt like quite a lazy morning. I had breakfast in bed (DCs at ex husband's). It was lush.

My dc's aside from elder are not even up from bed yet!!

I'm confident they will show Laura's game. They had better as I can't find court 2 on red button either.

What?! My mum would have ripped the duvet off me hours ago.

Mystery white cloud was flour and icing sugar . Have handed them the dustpan and brush and returned to my position in front of tv.

Chub - did you have to get your own breakfast, or is there a nice kind person on hand who brought it to you?!

No I got my own. I took it, MN, and a mug of tea on a tray back up to bed and sat in my beautiful (see previous thread on subject) bed and sat there smiling to myself.

They're going to switch to Laura's march when it starts

Youzhny/Tomic match has finished. Laura should be up very soon.

Oh good because my red button might be faulty, I have car racing but no tennis.... Car racing? I can go to the nearest main road here and watch car racing...

I would not dream of waking the dc's up chub as far as I am concerned, the longer they sleep the quieter it remains and the later they stay up tonight meaning I go to bed earlier so therefore hardly see them at all throughout long summer holidays. As it should be....

Icing sugar and flour? Sneaky pair must have got past you, into kitchen, robbed them and gone upstairs with them. I like that sort of cheekiness, it shows great determination to be mischievous. I for one, like mischievous small people, they make me laugh!

On the red button there's then a blue button option to switch between the racing and tennis

Tried that chub I get racing then BBC 2 coverage - oh hang on, bbc2 are going to Laura now... Panic over.

Hope that fall wasn't bad. Come on Laura you can do this.

Not a good start. Come on Laura!!!

come on Laura, buck up... You can do it!

Could the Laura Robson who played all those aces in the first round match please make her way to court number 2.

This is a really inappropriate time for my Dad to call. Knew I should have unplugged the phone!

She's a bit of a slow starter I think.

sieze - I'm all for a bit of mischief, just not whilst there's tennis on! Are you anywhere near Swansea?

You didn't answer did you clay?!
