NEW TENNIS THREAD! Happy 2016! Gearing up for the Aussie Open.

[Raahh]

Here we are again- last year has flown. Soon be Wimbledon.

Hope everyone is well- very wet here (NW).

So, Qatar has started, Rafa has won his first round in Doha after a shaky start. So that's already better than last year!
Hopman cup underway.

Here's to an exciting 2016, Olympic year, can anyone stop Djok, who is starting to look unbeatable?

I'm really hoping Rafa can have a better year, and of course there is a wee Murray on the way . (Might not be a fan of Andy, but babies are always good news).

Do you know what ? I've just thought.

I'm going to decorate this summer. Can someone remind me to check Queens and Wimby and if we can watch Plympic tennis dates ?

Not doing it when tennis is on. No way.

Maryz

I've never complained. I get to watch tennis.

I think 15 weeks is bloody fantastic.

[shocked] Well bugger. I'll probably miss a fair bit of it since baby #3 is due a week later.

Oh, Grouchy.

Timed that wrong, lovely.

You may well be glad to be sleep-deprived but able to sit for snuggles with new baba whilst ogling ?

How old are 1 and 2 now ?

I'm guessing not old enough to be told "Look ! watch the nice people hit the ball to one another"...

Are they old enough for a ball pit/ enclosure of some sort so they can 'play' tennis while you watch snooze ?

Will we be able to watch Plympics (all sports) and Paras with the time difference ?

I'm crap at geography and time etc....

Evening all, you chatty lot

Nice to see Djok getting beaten today

If Rafa doesn't get a this year at RG I'll happily share mine with him since we have the same birthday. Maybe I should turn up at RG with one?

Thankfully my lot aren't much into soccer so I'll get to watch Wimby. Would be different if it was the rugby world cup, that really might lead to divorce.

When are you due, Grouchy?

Fuck the footie, Maryz.

We have a dwarf hamster, I can do nocturnal with you.

The baby is actually due 24 May (I wrote my reply after Maryz' post about 16 May and forgot to send it) so it might be OK. I'd at least get to see most of the tennis if the baby is on time like my other two.

They are 4 and nearly 2 and get upset when I watch tennis instead of letting them watch Dora or fecking Paw Patrol, Drama. My Mum will be here, though. She'd love to play with them all the time I'm sure.

Football at the same time as Wimbledon is just wrong.

Evening, Drama

Sorry, the bit about my other two was in reply to MrsV.

That doesn't sound right, Maryz but I'll trust you more than my geog/time abilities.

I'm right next to you watching already.

Grouchy

Ooh, Mum can be a huge help. And you wont be watching tennis, you'll be 'resting'.

Very best wishes and lots of love to you anyway. New babies are just wonderful.

S'ok, I like hearing about your two littlies Grouchy, they sound so cute.

I got you, Grouchy.

Nooooooooooo ! Maryz ! This is the I think 6th hamster. She's lovely. Peachy colour with red eyes. She's DDs really, not mine.

Pigeons are flying rats. Not much sympathy. Probably not the best way to go though. Urgh.

I remember our old boy (who was a big lad) was out in the garden one say. Heard a thwack against the door, opened to see a magpie lying stunned.

Ol boy shot across garden, picked it up, when my senses kicked in, chased ol boy up garden by which time, whilst running he'd wolfed it. All of it.

*day

Anyway. Off to bed.

Will hopefully be posting happily tomorrow.

Night lovelies. xxx

Sorry I missed you all yesterday!

Just popped by to register my joy at Djok losing!!

Would love a new thread for RG - best tennis bit of the year coming up!!!

254 days to go, Maryz!!!

Have started a new thread- can't do links on my phone. well maybe I could but I'm not going to risk it.

It has tennis in the title!
