WIMBLEDON 2013- ladies' singles final day - lovely Lipsticki v bouncy Bartoli!

[Raahh]

And it's a 2 pm start, not 1 as I thought.

Quite looking forward to it really, and I think Lipsticki will have the crowd on her side but Bartoli had made a lot of new fans.

Dh has decided we are having a barbeque. Last time he did that, he invited his brother over during the final of the French! .

There are doubles finals too- will post order of play when not stuck on my phone.

Bugger. We are using disposable bbq's - extensive research showed usthat Aldi one's were rubbish. It appears so are tesco ones. Dh has just gone to Asda, aswe know they are ok.

could probably have bought a gas one on what we have spent on disposables

Right- don't get nervy, Marion. We want a good match!

Yes seize, she even looks different doesn't she? Or is that just my dodgy eyes!

Landlady is lovely, from Dorset she said, twin girls age 1. Saw photo's an all, super cute. Working hard getting flat ready for dd... Glad I went to meet her as she is a really lovely woman. Dd, partner and baby will be safe there and I am reassured now that their landlady is decent

Ouch. This is already painful to watch.

No! No, she looks like an entirely different person when she is on court. I wish I had learned how to do that when my dc's were little, handy trick.

Oh that's good news seize. Is it near enough for you to drop in often and be doting grandma?!

Oh

Don't panic Bartoli!

C'mon Lipsticki!

That's better.

I don't mid who wins because I like them both, but think Barto will win as she is usually more consistent and makes fewer errors

Phew. Good. Let's start over.

farley five mins in car and entirely walkable if I am not feeling too lazy. My mother lives closer, literally 5 min walk away

petite- i thought the same!

that's good sieze- out of your house- but not too far away!

I am here and I am sober, it was a bit of a marathon yesterday and did not help.

Anyway- I have been a fan of lisicki for a few years, but now it comes to it I won't be too disappointed if Bartoli wins as she seems nice.

I can actually enjoy the tennis I hope and not get too stressed out.

Why does Bartoli look like the zip on the back of her thigh has come undone?

hugo- it's a nice way to watch, isn't it?

Oh yes, out of my house is the key to all this I will have a spare room now to set up my massage business after qualifying - hurrah! HURRAH! Can still be home with ds as he needs me here when he is not in college and can finally, in 12 months time make more than a part time living. The relief? I can't tell you. I just can't leave ds home on his own, he panics and worries. Now I know everybody is okay, all of them, ds, dd and baby and also, myself!

Brilliant seize, good luck to you all

that's brilliant sieze- have some

We're having a bbq with friends tonight. Normally I'd be preparing and marinading and doing salad dressings round about now. As it is it's finals day so I sent DH out this morning to buy everything ready prepared.

Feels very good not having anything to do.

Shall do more lazy entertaining in the future.

Yay. Well done Bartoli.

I just can't get past her split personality! Its doing my head in. If I had not seen her in interviews off court I would not like her on court as she's just so, take no prisoners, pump the air after each shot, I am going to beat you dowwwwnnnn....

Completely torn. Like them both. I think bartoli will have the edge though.

lazy entertaining is the future....

oh. This isn't as close as I'd like really.

The blonde sitting next to Marion's dad has a very low cut top on!

Petite, lazy entertaining is the way to go! Is it nice weather over there?

Barto is a real fighter. Her father, the doctor, is in the house. It will be one hell of a triumph for him and his training and coaching of Marion if Barto does win.
